How to Use Nicotine Pouches
Nicotine pouches should be placed under the lip. While these products are quite simple to use, it’s important to ensure you’re using them correctly for the optimal experience.
Nicotine pouches haven’t been around long but have quickly become popular in Scandinavia, and elsewhere, because they are a simple smoke-free nicotine experience. Whether you use cigarettes, vapes, or heated tobacco, nicotine pouches could be an alternative for your nicotine moment. That said, the best decision any adult smoker can make is to quit smoking and nicotine use entirely.
In being relatively new, it’s expected that adult users will have questions on how to use nicotine pouches. Learn more on this topic, including a step-by-step guide on how to use nicotine pouches, below.
How to Use Nicotine Pouches - a Step-by-Step Guide
Nicotine pouches are simple to use. Below, we’ve provided a 5-step guide on exactly how to use them - from first opening the product’s packaging to proper disposal.
Step 1 - How to Open the Nicotine Pouch Can
Nicotine pouches typically come in a short, circular can. You’ll often have to break a seal around the side of it before opening. Once the seal is broken, a lot of cans can then be opened by twisting its lid off. That said, exactly how you open a nicotine pouch can depends on the product in question, so you should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to do this.
Step 2 - Place the Nicotine Pouch Under Your Lip
Once the can is open, take one of the nicotine pouches out and place it under your lip so that it rests between your inner lip and gum.
Step 3- Leave the Nicotine Pouch In
Leave the nicotine pouch in, allowing it to release nicotine and flavourings. During this time, you might experience a tingling sensation. Some nicotine pouches can be left in for half an hour, but the manufacturer should have guidance on the max length of usage. You can also remove the pouch before this time if you prefer a shorter nicotine experience.
Step 4 - Take It Out
When you’re finished with your nicotine experience, or have had it in for the maximum length of time advised, take it out of your mouth. You should not use a nicotine pouch for longer than advised. If you've used one for the maximum advised length of time but still want another experience, simply replace the old pouch with a new one.
Step 5 - Dispose of it Responsibly
After you’ve taken the nicotine pouch out of your mouth, dispose of it responsibly in the general waste. If you’re not near a bin, many nicotine pouch cans have a space in the top of them where you can store your used pouches. Just be sure to throw these pouches in the general waste when you get the chance.
How to Use ZYN Pouches and Best Practice Tips
Using ZYN is easy:
•Break the seal to open the can.
•Pop a ZYN® pouch under your lip.
•You may experience a tingling sensation that we at ZYN call ZYNGLE.
If the tingling sensation becomes uncomfortable, remove the pouch from your mouth. This sensation is the pouch releasing nicotine. Many adult users get used to this sensation, and it should fade over time.
Nicotine pouches may present a choking hazard if accidentally swallowed. With that in mind, it’s best not to use ZYN when eating or drinking either, as this could increase the chance of you swallowing the pouch.

Smoke-free products are not risk-free and provide nicotine, which is addictive. The best decision any adult smoker can make is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether. Smoke-free products are not alternatives to quitting and are not designed as cessation aids.
