Did you make a New Year's resolution to quit smoking in 2024? If so, you aren't alone. Going smoke-free is one of the top New Year's resolutions every year, but it's also one of the most difficult to keep.
Going cold turkey can make it even more difficult to quit smoking for good. Luckily, the tobacco industry has started helping out people wanting to quit with smoke-free, tobacco-free nicotine pouches.
Have you heard of ZYN? It's our top-selling nicotine pouch brand here at Granite Vapor. Find out why and other brands to consider in this guide.
ZYN Nicotine Pouches
ZYN is one of the most popular, if not THE most popular, nicotine pouch brands around. The product is made by a Swedish company, Swedish Match, which also produces General and Cricket brand products.
We promise you'll love ZYN products, too. They're made of high-quality synthetic nicotine and come in multiple flavors and strengths.
ZYN Strengths
ZYN pouches come in 3-milligram (mg) and 6 mg strengths. They come in cans of 15 pouches, but you can also purchase a pack of three cans for a total of 45 nicotine pouches.
Each pouch lasts about 30-40 minutes, with the higher-strength option offering the longest nicotine release and flavor experience.
ZYN Flavors
ZYN nicotine pouches come in classic chewing tobacco flavors like wintergreen, menthol, and citrus. There are a total of 10 flavors, which also include peppermint, cool mint, spearmint, cinnamon, coffee, and chill (unflavored).
The only downside to ZYN pouches is that some people prefer a more robust flavor punch. But though the flavor may be mild, it is long-lasting.
ZYN FAQs
If you have questions about ZYN, we have answers. Check out our FAQs below to learn more about ZYN nicotine pouches.
Does ZYN Have Tobacco?
No, ZYN does not have tobacco. These nicotine pouches consist of synthetic nicotine, or nicotine that's made in a lab. Other ingredients you'll find in each nicotine pouch include flavorings, sweeteners, and natural plant fibers.
Are Nicotine Pouches Safe?
Nicotine pouches are safe in many ways, especially compared to other nicotine products. But they can also be more dangerous in other ways. On the plus side, they contain fewer harmful chemicals to protect your lungs.
On the other hand, pouches are more potent than other nicotine products. They may be more addictive for that reason, so you should always use ZYN and other brands responsibly.
Can You Use ZYN to Quit Smoking?
Yes, you can use ZYN to quit smoking. These smoke-free, tobacco-free pouches can give you the nicotine you crave without having to suffer from the negative effects of combustion or increasing your tobacco use.
Other Popular Nicotine Pouch Brands
ZYN may be the most popular nicotine pouch brand we sell at Grainte Vapor, but it's not the only one. We also offer top brands like Rogue, FRE, Luxy, Juice Head, Grizzly, Copenhagen, and Kodiak.
Learn about the flavors and strengths these pouches come in and why our customers love 'em next.
Rogue
Rogue is a smokeless tobacco brand made by Swisher in collaboration with NicoGen Pharma. In addition to pouches, Rogue also offers nicotine gums, tablets, and lozenges.
The sugar-free, tobacco-free pouches come in 3 mg and 6 mg strengths. Choose from classic flavors like wintergreen, peppermint, spearmint, and cinnamon or wilder ones, such as honey-lemon, mango, apple, and berry.
FRE
FRE's smoke-free, spit-free, and semi-dry nicotine pouches are the ones for you if you're looking for value. They come in cans of 20 pouches that range in strength from 3 mg to an unbeatable 15 mg.
The one thing you'll have to sacrifice with FRE is flavor variety. These pouches only come in four flavors: wintergreen, mint, sweet, and lush.
Juice Head
If you like FRE's value but want more variety in the flavor department, go with Juice Head. This Streamline Group nicotine pouch brand also offers 20 pouches per can but a range of unique flavors like peach pineapple mint, mango strawberry mint, watermelon strawberry mint, and blueberry lemon mint.
This brand is also an excellent choice for nicotine pouch newbies. They come in ultra-low strengths of 2 mg or up to 6 mg of nicotine per pouch.
VELO
This is a great alternative to ZYN. A fellow Swedish brand, VELO specializes in mini dry pouches. The biggest difference between the two is that VELO contains tobacco, while ZYN does not.
VELO pouches come in 2 mg, 4 mg, and 7 mg strengths. You'll have plenty of flavors to choose from, including wintergreen, peppermint, spearmint, citrus burst, cinnamon, coffee, dragon fruit, and black cherry.
On!
On! is another mini nicotine pouch brand our customers love. They are slightly smaller, at only 0.25 grams, which makes them suited for beginners or people looking to taper off nicotine products.
Though small, these pouches pack a punch with up to 8 mg of nicotine per pouch. The flavors include classics like wintergreen, mint, and citrus, as well as more exciting ones like coffee, cinnamon, and berry.
Lucy
The Lucy brand has only been around since 2016, but it's already making waves. That's due, in part, to its unique flavor-releasing Breakers technology, which comes in berry citrus, apple cider, apple ice, mango, espresso, and mint.
Another reason our customers love Lucy nicotine pouches is for the wide range of strengths. Choose from 4 mg, 8 mg, or 12 mg pouches.
Grizzly
You may not know it, but everyone's favorite dip brand also sells pouches. The wintergreen-flavored nicotine pouches are an excellent alternative to smoking or dipping.
Copenhagen
Copenhagen is another well-known dip brand that has recently forayed into nicotine pouches. It comes in bright, classic flavors like mint and wintergreen.
Kodiak
Last but not least, Kodiak chewing tobacco also has a nicotine pouch product. One of the product's biggest draws is its high nicotine content, which can compete with its other snuff products.
