ZYN nicotine pouch ranges
ZYN nicotine pouches are available in two ranges – each delivering a unique experience.
Looking for an intense nicotine experience? Discover our ZYN Slim range, a slim pouch format designed to deliver an instant burst of flavour. Prefer a smoother nicotine experience? Discover our ZYN mini range, a mini pouch format designed to deliver a mellow and gradual release of flavour. Both SLIM and MINI nicotine pouches are available in a variety of flavours and nicotine strengths.
ZYN nicotine pouch flavours
Depending on your chosen range of ZYN nicotine pouches, there will be a variety of flavour options to choose from, including mint varieties, fruit and coffee flavours. If you’re an existing adult nicotine user, but you’re not sure what the right flavour of ZYN is for you, you can order a ZYN free sample.
ZYN containers
When you purchase your ZYN pouches, whether online or in-store, you will get either 20 or 21 nicotine pouches in one container, or ‘can’, depending on whether you choose SLIM or MINI pouches. The container will be sealed and there will be a pocket underneath the seal for you to put your nicotine pouches once used.
How to use ZYN pouches
Using a ZYN pouch is very easy. Just follow these 4 simple steps:
- Start by breaking the perforation seal on the side of the can to open it.
- Take out a ZYN pouch from the can and place it between your gum and lip. Position it comfortably so that it stays in place.
- Once the pouch is in position, you might experience a slight tingling sensation. Don't worry; this is normal and can be a part of the ZYN experience.
- You can use the ZYN pouch for around 30 minutes.
Top tips for using ZYN:
- ZYN nicotine pouches are single use only and should not be re-used.
- ZYN nicotine pouches should not be chewed. Follow the 4 step guide above to use them correctly.
- Use your ZYN nicotine pouches promptly once removed from the can.
- Do not use ZYN nicotine pouches if they appear to be damaged, tampered with, or broken, and stop using if the pouch becomes damaged during use.
How long do ZYN pouches last?
ZYN provides a long-lasting nicotine experience and can be used for around 30 minutes. However, there are some factors which may influence nicotine and flavour release.
Can you reuse a ZYN nicotine pouch?
ZYN nicotine pouches are single use only and should not be re-used. The design of a nicotine pouch is to allow for the nicotine to be released once it is placed inside the mouth between the gum and the lip. After around 30 minutes, the nicotine pouch flavourings and nicotine will be completely used, at which point the pouch should be removed from the mouth and disposed of safely.
Where can you use ZYN nicotine pouches?
Among the benefits of ZYN nicotine pouches compared to cigarettes is their convenience. Unlike cigarettes, ZYN does not produce smoke, ash, or vapour, therefore it does not produce a strong smoke-smell. You can work, travel, and socialise with ZYN without having to take a smoke-break.
Unlike vaping devices and cigarettes, ZYN nicotine pouches can be used in various settings, including:
- On the go: Whether you're traveling, commuting, or simply moving around, the pocket-sized can nicotine pouches make ZYN convenient for an on-the-go lifestyle. Although, it is important to always check local guidance when traveling with ZYN nicotine pouches.
- At home: Consumers of nicotine can use ZYN nicotine pouches while relaxing at home. You won't have to worry about any smoke residue, lingering odours, or vapour disturbing friends and family when using your ZYN nicotine pouches.
- At work: ZYN is a better alternative to cigarettes for when you can’t or don’t want to smoke in the workplace. Don’t forget to check your company’s policy on smokeless oral products in the office.
How to store ZYN and shelf life
ZYN oral nicotine pouches have a shelf-life of up to 12 months from the production date provided on the can. You can find the expiration date printed on the bottom of a ZYN can. Be sure to use your ZYN nicotine pouches by the Best if Used by Date indicated on the product label.
Storing your ZYN oral nicotine pouches properly is essential for maintaining quality and freshness. Here are some tips for storage to keep your ZYN pouches in the best condition:
- Keep the can tightly closed when not in use. This will prevent the pouches from drying out and will help to maintain their flavour.
- Store ZYN in a cool and dry place. Excessive heat and moisture can affect the quality of the pouches.
- Check the expiration date on the can before using the pouches.
- Keep your ZYN pouches stored safely away from animals and children. Place them in secure or hard to reach places.
GOOD TO KNOW: You do not need to store ZYN nicotine pouches in a freezer or refrigerator!
How to dispose of ZYN pouches
Once you have finished using a ZYN pouch, it's important to dispose of the pouch responsibly. Here's how:
- Place your used ZYN pouch in the convenient space inside the lid of the ZYN can.
- Once you've finished with your ZYN, discard the used pouch first in a household bin or waste container and then recycle the empty can.
Recycling ZYN cans helps reduce waste and contributes to a more sustainable environment. Check your local recycling guidelines to determine the appropriate method for recycling the can. For more information on recycling your ZYN, check out our guide to: How to Dispose of and Recycle ZYN.
