What ZYN nicotine pouches are
ZYN is a brand of tobacco-free nicotine pouches. It was created by Swedish Match, the Swedish company that is also known for traditional snus. Since 2022, Swedish Match has been part of Philip Morris International. A ZYN pouch contains nicotine, plant fibres and flavourings, but no tobacco leaf. In everyday language, many people still call these pouches ZYN snus, even though classic Swedish snus is a tobacco product.
What sets ZYN apart is a clear naming system. Most product names tell you the flavour, the format and a strength level, for example Cool Mint Slim S4. Many flavours come in more than one level. This means you can keep a flavour you like and change only the strength. For the background of the brand and its full international range, read our ZYN nicotine pouches guide.
ZYN Mini and ZYN Slim: two pouch formats
Our ZYN range comes in two formats. Mini pouches are small. They sit discreetly under the lip and suit you if a larger pouch feels too bulky. Slim pouches are longer and narrower. They hold more content, and they cover the whole strength scale.
The format you choose also limits the strength you can get. ZYN Mini in our range goes up to S4. The levels S5 and S6 only exist as Slim. Five flavours come in both formats: Cool Mint, Spearmint, Citrus, Apple Mint and Black Cherry. Peach, Coffee and Black Licorice are only available as Mini. All other flavours, such as Cactus Spice, Menthol Ice or Red Berry Fizz, are Slim only.
Almost every ZYN can holds 20 pouches. The one exception in our range is ZYN Spearmint Strong Slim with 21 pouches.
ZYN strength levels from S2 to S6
The S number is the strength scale of ZYN. A higher number means more nicotine. Our range does not include an S1 can, so for you the scale starts at S2. These are the values from the cans we stock:
- S2: 6 to 10 mg/g as Slim, for example Gentle Mint Slim S2 or Watermelon Mint Slim S2. As Mini, 3 to 7.5 mg/g, for example Black Licorice Mini S2.
- S3: about 13 mg/g, for example Apple Mint Slim S3 or Red Fruits Slim S3. Black Cherry Slim S3 is lower at 9 mg/g.
- S4: 15.7 to 16.18 mg/g as Slim, for example Cool Mint Slim S4. The Mini S4 cans list 15 mg/g.
- S5: 19.29 mg/g in Menthol Ice Slim S5 and Blackcurrant Ice Slim S5.
- S6: 23.57 mg/g in Cool Mint Ice Slim S6 and Menthol Ice Slim S6.
The levels overlap a little between flavours. If you are choosing between two cans, compare the mg/g value on the product page, not only the S number.
A few cans use words instead of an S level. Peach Mini Normal and Coffee Mini Normal list 7.5 mg/g, which matches the S2 level of the Mini range. Cool Mint Extra Strong Slim lists 16.15 mg/g, the same as Cool Mint Slim S4. Lemon Spritz Slim lists 9 mg/g and Spearmint Strong Slim lists 12 mg/g. The Mini cans with 3mg in the name, such as Cool Mint Mini 3mg, list 7.5 mg/g. The 3 mg refers to one pouch, while 7.5 mg/g refers to one gram of pouch content.
How strong ZYN snus is per pouch
The mg/g value tells you how much nicotine is in one gram of pouch content. What you get from one pouch also depends on how much the pouch weighs. Some ZYN product pages list both values, and they show the link clearly. Red Berry Fizz Slim S2 has 8.82 mg/g and 6 mg per pouch. Red Berry Fizz Slim S3 has 13.22 mg/g and 9 mg per pouch. The S4 version has 16.18 mg/g and 11 mg per pouch. Menthol Ice Slim S6 reaches 23.57 mg/g and 16.5 mg per pouch. One Slim pouch therefore weighs a little under 0.7 g. A Mini pouch is smaller, so the same mg/g value gives you less nicotine per pouch.
In practice, ZYN covers a wide middle range. The S2 Slim cans sit in or just below our medium nicotine pouches with 6 to 10 mg per pouch. The S4 to S6 cans belong to our strong nicotine pouches with 11 to 20 mg per pouch. ZYN does not reach the extreme values of brands with 50 mg/g. This makes the brand a good fit if you want a step-by-step path within one brand, from a mild Mini to a strong Slim.
ZYN flavours: mint, ice, fruit and more
Mint is the largest flavour group at ZYN, but the range goes further. The flavours in our range fall into four groups:
- Mint: Cool Mint, Spearmint, Gentle Mint, Apple Mint, Blueberry Mint and Watermelon Mint.
- Ice: Menthol Ice, Cool Mint Ice and Blackcurrant Ice. They add a strong cooling effect and come only in the levels S4 to S6.
- Fruit and berry: Black Cherry, Red Fruits, Red Berry Fizz, Peach, Citrus and Lemon Spritz.
- Other: Coffee, Cactus Spice, Violet Licorice and Black Licorice.
Gentle Mint Slim S2 is the mildest mint Slim with 6 mg/g. Cool Mint gives you the most choice, from Cool Mint Mini 3mg up to Cool Mint Ice Slim S6. If you like coffee, there are three Mini cans: Coffee Mini Normal, Coffee Mini S4 and Coffee Extra Strong Mini.

ZYN compared with other nicotine pouch brands
ZYN vs VELO
VELO from British American Tobacco is the main competitor of ZYN. VELO offers three formats: Mini, Slim and a wider Standard pouch. ZYN has no Standard pouch. VELO also goes a little higher at the top: VELO Freezing Peppermint Max lists 27 mg/g and 17 mg per pouch, while the strongest ZYN cans list 23.57 mg/g. ZYN, on the other hand, makes it easier to move up or down in steps with the same flavour. You find all VELO cans in our VELO snus collection, and our article ZYN vs VELO compares the two brands in detail.
ZYN vs White Fox
White Fox is a Swedish mint brand with 16 to 16.5 mg/g on every can. That is the same as the S4 level of ZYN, for example Cool Mint Slim S4 with 16.15 mg/g. The difference is the choice around it. White Fox offers one strength, mostly in Standard pouches. ZYN offers several levels in Mini and Slim. If you know that S4 suits you and you want a larger mint pouch, take a look at our White Fox snus collection.
Which ZYN can to start with
Your best starting point depends on what you are used to, not on the flavour.
- New to nicotine pouches: start with a Mini at a low level, for example Black Licorice Mini S2 with 3 mg/g or Cool Mint Mini 3mg.
- Used to light or medium pouches: choose a Slim at S2 or S3, such as Gentle Mint Slim S2 or Apple Mint Slim S3.
- Used to strong pouches: go for S4, for example Cool Mint Slim S4 or Citrus Slim S4.
- Experienced users: S5 and S6 cans such as Blackcurrant Ice Slim S5 or Cool Mint Ice Slim S6.
When you find a flavour you like, check whether it exists in a second level. Citrus, Apple Mint, Red Berry Fizz and Menthol Ice each come in more than one strength. This lets you adjust the nicotine without changing the taste.
