Pixx Nicotine-Infused Toothpicks

The 10mg range is wider than the nicotine-free line, with ten iced flavours spanning fruit, mint and tobacco. The shared ice note keeps each one feeling fresh across the longer time a pick spends in your mouth.

On the fruit side, Blueberry Kiwi blends sweet blueberry with tart kiwi, Blueberry Sour Raspberry stacks a sour raspberry over blueberry for more bite, and Grape and Raspberry is the rounded, fruity-sweet option. Lemon and Lime brings a sharp citrus pairing, Sour Pineapple a tangy tropical kick, and Watermelon a clean, summery sweetness.

For mint and menthol there is Menthol, a cool and straightforward classic, and Spearmint, softer and sweeter. These two are the natural choice for anyone who used menthol cigarettes or mint pouches and wants that familiar cooling hit alongside the nicotine.

The two standouts are Peach Cobbler, a dessert-style flavour with warm peach and a baked, sweet character, and Sweet Tobacco, which leans into a smooth tobacco note for people who want something closer to the taste they are leaving behind. With ten options, most people switching from cigarettes or vapes will find a flavour family that suits them. Every flavour carries the same 10mg nicotine strength.

Using a Pixx nicotine pick takes no more thought than picking your teeth, but a couple of pointers help you get the most out of each one. The key is to let the buccal absorption do the work: keep the pick in contact with the inside of your cheek, chew or suck gently, and give it time rather than expecting an instant hit. One pick is plenty for a single craving.

Treat these as a nicotine product, not a sweet. Use one at a time, do not swallow the pick, and keep the pack sealed and out of reach of children and pets between uses. The steps below walk through it.

Against nicotine pouches, the toothpick delivers a comparable buccal nicotine dose but adds the hand-to-mouth habit a pouch cannot. A pouch is more discreet, sitting invisibly under the lip, while a pick is visible but occupies your hands and mouth. Many people use both: a pouch when they need to be discreet, a pick when they want the ritual. If you are weighing them up, our nicotine pouches range sits alongside these.

Against nicotine gum, the picks last longer per piece and do not require constant chewing. Gum tends to deliver its nicotine in a short burst and loses its flavour quickly, whereas the Crystalize infusion in a Pixx pick releases slowly over a longer stretch. The picks are also less obvious than working a piece of gum.

Against vaping and smoking, the obvious wins are no smoke, no vapour, no smell and no device to charge or carry. There is no inhalation at all, which is the headline difference, and nothing to set off a smoke alarm or bother people nearby. The trade-off is that the nicotine delivery is slower and gentler than a draw on a cigarette or vape, which some heavy users find takes adjusting to.

A few honest caveats. These are a nicotine product, so they are only for existing adult smokers and vapers, never for non-smokers, under-18s, or anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. Nicotine is highly addictive. They are not a licensed stop-smoking medicine, and if you want a regulated NRT product your pharmacist can advise. As a discreet, smoke-free way to handle a craving and the habit together, though, they are a genuinely useful tool.

For the right person, a smoker or vaper who wants to handle a craving without smoke and misses something to do with their hands, Pixx nicotine picks are a smart little tool. They do the two jobs that pouches and gum each only half-cover, and they do it at around 15p a go. The ten-flavour range is broad enough that most people will find one they reach for.

They are not magic, and they are not a medicine. The delivery is gentle by design, so a 20-a-day smoker should not expect a cigarette-strength hit, and the pick is more visible in use than a pouch tucked under the lip. Weigh the pros and cons below against how and where you actually want to use them.
