ZYN Snus
ZYN offers tobacco-free nicotine pouches developed by Swedish Match, a manufacturer specializing in smokeless products. The pouches contain nicotine, flavorings, and plant-based fibers instead of ground tobacco leaves. Designed for oral use, the all-white pouches are placed between the upper lip and gum for nicotine absorption without producing saliva stains or residue.
The product line includes multiple nicotine strength options and flavor varieties. ZYN prioritizes oral hygiene by eliminating tobacco-derived ingredients and utilizing a drip-free design to minimize gum irritation.
Snus Composition
Traditional snus contains:
- Ground tobacco leaves
- Sodium carbonate (pH stabilizer)
- Water
- Food-grade salt
- Optional flavor additives
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ZYN Mini and ZYN Slim?
The difference is in the portion size and format. ZYN Mini are very small, round pouches designed for maximum discretion. ZYN Slim are longer, narrower pouches that offer a comfortable fit under the lip. Both are dry portions and come in a variety of strengths and flavors.
What does "Dry" mean in ZYN Mini Dry?
ZYN "Dry" refers to the portion technology. These pouches have virtually no added moisture. This makes them extremely discreet and extends the shelf life. The flavor and nicotine release begin more slowly once the pouch is placed in the lip and moistened by saliva, resulting in a long-lasting experience with no drip.
Is ZYN FDA approved?
Yes. Swedish Match North America (now part of Philip Morris International) has received FDA PMTA marketing granted orders for multiple ZYN products. This means specific ZYN nicotine pouches can be legally marketed and sold in the United States. This approval covers several flavors and strengths, underscoring the brand's commitment to regulatory compliance.
What is the strongest ZYN product?
The "Super Strong" and "Extra Strong" variants are the strongest in the ZYN lineup. For example, "ZYN Slim Dark Frost Super Strong" and "ZYN Slim Cool Frost Extra Strong" are designed to deliver the highest nicotine content available from the brand, targeting users with a high tolerance. Always check the mg/portion for accurate strength comparison.
