Understanding ZYN Mg Levels
and Nicotine Strengths
Each ZYN pouch contains a specific amount of nicotine, measured in milligrams (mg). The nicotine level is shown on every can, indicated both by the mg number and the number of filled dots on the front of the packaging.
For example:
- A 6mg ZYN Mini pouch shows 2 of 4 dots — a Medium strength.
- An 11mg ZYN Regular pouch shows 4 of 4 dots — an X-Strong strength.
In the UK, ZYN nicotine pouches are available in Mini and Regular (Slim) sizes, offering different mg levels and experiences.
