ZYN Nicotine Pouches

ZYN is a leading tobacco‑free nicotine pouch brand produced by Swedish Match (acquired by Philip Morris in 2022). First introduced in the U.S. in 2014, ZYN has grown into one of the most widely used nicotine pouch brands globally—especially in the U.S., where it held a dominant industry share in 2023 with over 384 million cans sold globally that year alone.

Designed to be placed between the lip and gum, ZYN pouches release nicotine slowly into the bloodstream without smoke, ash, or tobacco, making them popular among adult former smokers or nicotine users.

Best Use & Tips

Match strength to your tolerance:

Start with 1.5–3 mg (Mini) if you’re new to nicotine or sensitive

Regular users often use 6 mg–9 mg (Mini or Slim)

Higher tolerances may try 11 mg or 13.5 mg (Slim only)

Experiment gradually: begin with lower dose & increase if needed

Placement and use duration: tuck between upper lip and gum for up to 60 mins; avoid chain use

Monitor oral health: alternate placement and brush regularly to avoid gum irritation

Store securely, especially away from children, due to risk of accidental ingestion
