A pouch is typically used 20–40 minutes, but nicotine's roughly 2-hour half-life means each one is still working long after you spit it out. Two patterns show up constantly in SteadyBeast users' baselines: the first pouch before any food (sharper spike, bigger appetite suppression) and pouches within 3 hours of bed (measurably worse sleep). Tracking when — not just how many — is where the pattern becomes visible.
Good to know: Lucy sells both standard pouches and "Breaker" capsule pouches; strengths shown are for the standard line.
How much nicotine is in a Lucy Citrus 12mg pouch?

How many pouches are in a can of Lucy?
Lucy cans contain 20 pouches.
How long does a nicotine pouch last?
Most people use a pouch for 20–40 minutes. Nicotine's half-life in the body is roughly 2 hours, so the stimulant effect outlasts the pouch itself — which is why late-day pouches can affect sleep.
