Zyn

Zyn is the nicotine pouch brand from Swedish Match, now part of Philip Morris International's smoke-free portfolio. A pouch is tobacco-leaf free and produces neither smoke nor vapour: it tucks under your top lip, releases nicotine through the gum for roughly twenty five to thirty minutes, and then goes in the bin. Nothing to charge, nothing to exhale, and discreet enough that nobody around you need know.

Mini or regular?

Zyn splits the range by format rather than flavour. Mini carries the gentler strengths, 1.5mg, 3mg and 6mg, in a smaller pouch meant to sit unnoticed. Regular is slim rather than small and carries the stronger end, including the 11mg cans here. Black Cherry, Cool Mint and Spearmint run across both sizes in cans of twenty, and the ingredient list stays short throughout: nicotine, flavourings and sweeteners.

If pouches are new to you, work up the Mini scale before going anywhere near the top of the range. The step from 3mg to 11mg is a big one and it catches people out, which is worth knowing before you compare nicotine pouches on strength alone.
