ZYN Nicotine Pouches

What is ZYN?

ZYN is a brand of nicotine pouches, tobacco and smoke-free, used by placing them against the gum and underneath the upper lip. It is one of the most popular nicotine pouch brands across the world and is manufactured by Swedish Match, which is no surprise as the Swedish heritage and quality runs throughout this product. These pouches come in various flavours, strengths, and sizes, providing a product for every user. There’s no reason not to like this brand.

What is the Best ZYN Flavour on Snusdirect?

Finding the best tasting experience is tricky, especially when personal preferences are the determining factor. However, at Snusdirect, some pouches sell more than others, meaning the best flavours are the most popular. The bestsellers are as follows:

1. ZYN Cool Mint Mini
2. ZYN Spearmint Mini
3. ZYN Citrus Mini
4. ZYN Espressino Mini

With this brand releasing new products each year, a fresh-tasting experience is available. This year, in 2024, the brand has released ZYN Slim Deep Freeze Extra Strong which has an intense mint flavour and nicotine content suiting the more experienced nicotine pouch users.

ZYN Strengths Suitable for All Users

ZYN strengths are rated using a dot-system, the strongest being 4 dots, and the lowest strength being 1. However, it is important to note that the strength system differs for the mini and slim pouches. A 4-dot mini is lower in strength than a 4-dot slim.

Slim Pouch Strengths

The nicotine content per sachet for slim ZYNs on Snusdirect is as follows:

• 2-Dot: 6.5 mg
• 3-Dot: 9 mg
• 4-Dot: 11 mg

Mini Pouch Strengths

Mini ZYNs contain less nicotine, due to the lower contents per pouch. The nicotine in milligrams per portion for each dot rating is detailed below.

• 1-Dot: 1.5 mg
• 2-Dot: 3 mg
• 4-Dot: 6 mg

How Long Do ZYN Nicotine Pouches Last?

The length of the nicotine pouch experience will depend on the ZYN pouch purchased. Like strength, experience longevity also differs between pouch sizes and it’s not just the amount of contents that contributes to this difference.

On average, ZYN pouches last for around 30 to 45 minutes but this is product dependent.

Mini pouches are dry to the touch, meaning the nicotine and flavour have a delayed and steadier release, increasing the length of the experience. In comparison, the slim sachets are moister, ensuring a faster release of nicotine and flavour and a shorter but more intense experience.

ZYN FAQ

Due to the popularity of this brand, many users have questions about its products and below we attempt to answer the more commonly asked ones we receive at Snusdirect. If there is something that isn’t covered, take a look at our blog.

Is ZYN UK and Europe the same as ZYN US?

The nicotine pouch market varies between continents. And ZYN is no exception. It is different in the UK and Europe than in the US. The nicotine range is wider, more pouch sizes are available as well as tasting experiences in the EU. So, if you’re travelling to the States, and expecting to find the same product, you may be surprised.

Is ZYN snus?

Snus is a product available in a select few countries in Europe. Sweden is one. They are similar to nicotine pouches in mode of use but contain tobacco. In turn, ZYN is not snus. However, some people call nicotine pouches snus and because of this you may hear and see other users, and online sites, describing their brand as snus. But don’t worry, it is completely tobacco-free.

How to use ZYN?

One pro for ZYN, and nicotine pouches in general, is that they are easy to use, and do not impact those nearby, unlike cigarettes and vapes. Simply pick one from the container, place it against your gum underneath your upper lip and enjoy the nicotine and flavour release. An extra step that maximises the comfortability of the fit is to roll the pouch between your index finger and thumb, evenly distributing the contents.

Where to buy ZYN near me?

ZYN pouches can be found in many shops, supermarkets and petrol stations across Europe. In the rare case that none are nearby, many online retailers, like Snusdirect, can deliver them straight to your door with the click of a few buttons.

How does ZYN work?

ZYN pouches work differently from cigarettes and vapes as there is no smoke to inhale. Instead, nicotine enters your body through your gums. Nicotine is extracted by your saliva, enabling the substance to leave the sachet and from there, nicotine crosses into your body through the oral mucous membranes.

What are the ZYN side effects?

The possible side effects of this brand are the same as others. The mild symptoms include headaches and hiccups, which can progress to nausea. However, these adverse effects will only occur if too much nicotine is absorbed at once. In turn, use low-strength products to reduce the likelihood of encountering them.

Can you swallow ZYN spit?

These pouches are made from food-grade substances and the spit you produce when using them is perfectly safe to swallow. However, if you use them regularly and swallow large amounts of ZYN spit, your throat may become irritated, in extreme cases.
