While it is not safe to swallow saliva created from oral tobacco products such as chewing tobacco and dip tobacco, ZYNs are tobacco-leaf free (so they don’t contain tobacco or any other ingredients that, if you swallow the spit, have the potential to hurt your stomach and or make you sick).
What Happens If You Swallow Spit from ZYN?
You have swallowed spit from ZYNs, what happens to your body now?

This process usually doesn't cause any problems, and your body eventually breaks down and eliminates the nicotine.
Swallowing Zyn spit is generally considered safe as the nicotine in the saliva is not harmful when ingested in small amounts, and the other ingredients in ZYN pouches are food-grade. However, if you're new to nicotine pouches or have a sensitive stomach, it's a good idea to be cautious and spit out the ZYN saliva instead of swallowing it if it is causing any issues.

Do I Really Have to Swallow My Spit When Using a Nicotine Pouch?
No, you do not have to swallow ZYN spit or the spit from other nicotine pouches. Some people don’t like swallowing the saliva created while using a pouch as they don’t like the taste or how it feels after. Many nicotine pouch users choose to spit the small amount of saliva produced while using a nicotine pouch.
Compared to other smokeless tobacco products, you'll likely notice that much less saliva is produced as these drier pouches are less likely to make you slobber or drool as you do when using chewing tobacco. After using ZYN pouches for a while, you might find that you get used to the feeling of having a spit-free pouch in your mouth and end up swallowing the spit naturally. Without the need to spit, you can carry on with your daily routine without any interruptions caused by excess saliva.
However, how you want to enjoy a ZYN pouch is entirely up to you. If you prefer to spit, that's okay. Just make sure to do it in a place where nobody will notice, and avoid being the person who spits on the floor or ground: it is antisocial, unpleasant for those around you and in some places you can be fined for spitting.
