ZYN Essentials
ZYN are tobacco leaf-free nicotine pouches and a way to enjoy nicotine in a completely smoke and spit free way.
ZYN nicotine pouches are made with nicotine salt and other ingredients such as a granulation agent, fillers, pH balancers, sweeteners and flavorings.
ZYN pouches work orally. By placing the pouch in your mouth between the gum and lip, the pouch comes in contact with the mucous lining of your mouth, this is how the nicotine enters your system.
ZYN Rewards is a unique loyalty program that enables you to collect points when you purchase marked ZYN cans, and get reward prizes from the ZYN Rewards store.
There are 10 different ZYN flavors.
ZYN flavors comes in: Wintergreen, Spearmint, Cool Mint, Peppermint, Citrus, Coffee, Chill, Smooth, Menthol and Cinnamon.
ZYN pouches have 2 different nicotine strength options: ZYN 6mg and ZYN 3mg.
Since their introduction in the United States in 2014, ZYN has become increasingly popular. This surge in popularity can likely be attributed to the variety of flavors tailored for the American market, options for nicotine strength, and the availability of both a tobacco leaf-free and smoke-free way to use nicotine anywhere at anytime.
ZYN pouches look like small, rectangular-shaped mini pouches that are all-white (as they contain no tobacco) and designed to fit discreetly under your lip.
The strongest ZYN option in the U.S. is ZYN 6mg, containing 6mg of nicotine per pouch.
Using ZYN Pouches
Using ZYN is simple; Open the can by breaking the seal and place the ZYN pouch under you lip and gum. Leave the ZYN pouch in for around 60 mins and dispose of the used ZYN pouch in the trash or can lid.
If you swallow a ZYN pouch, consult with a healthcare professional for advice as ZYN nicotine pouches are not intended to be swallowed.
On average, ZYN pouches last around 40 minutes, during which nicotine and flavor are released.
Each ZYN can contains 15 pouches.
To open a ZYN can, break perforation of the side label, twist the child-proof lid to align the top and bottom arrows on the can and then lift off the lid.
The best place to place a ZYN pouch is between the upper lip and gum, but the ZYN pouch can also be parked between the lower lip and gum. They should only be used orally.
ZYN pouches are designed to be used for up to 60 mins, but the duration can vary depending on personal preference.
ZYN pouches are for oral use only and are a smoke-free and spit-free alternative to traditional nicotine products for adult nicotine users.
Typically, it is advised to limit usage to one ZYN pouch every 1 to 2 hours, with an average limit of 10-15 pouches per day. However, always follow to the guidelines provided on the cans and take into account your personal nicotine tolerance when using ZYN.
Although ZYN pouches are not marked with an expiration date, they come with a "best before" date. For the best experience, it's recommended to use ZYN before this date, which you can find on the bottom of every can. Using ZYN past this date is still safe, however, the flavor and nicotine strength might be less intense.
