ZYN Menthol Nicotine Pouches 6mg

Tobacco Leaf-Free Formula

ZYN Menthol 6mg nicotine pouches contain no tobacco leaf, dust, or stem material. Each pouch contains nicotine derived from the tobacco plant (nicotine bitartrate dihydrate), but the pouches themselves are completely tobacco leaf-free. In addition to pharmaceutical-grade nicotine salt, ZYN contains only food-grade ingredients including microcrystalline cellulose (plant-based fiber filler), hydroxypropyl cellulose and gum arabic (stabilizers), sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (pH adjusters for optimal nicotine absorption), zero-calorie sweeteners, and natural and artificial flavorings. Less than 1 calorie per pouch.

Smoke-Free and Discreet

Enjoy nicotine anywhere without producing smoke, vapor, or odor. ZYN Menthol 6mg pouches are completely discreet — simply place an all-white pouch under your upper lip and enjoy. The pouch sits comfortably and virtually invisibly under your lip, making it perfect for use at work, while traveling, in social settings, or any environment where smoking isn’t permitted or practical. ZYN is smoke-free, spit-free, and hands-free.

No Spitting Required

Unlike traditional smokeless tobacco products like dip, chew, or snus, ZYN Menthol 6mg requires no spitting. The all-white pouches are clean and convenient, designed to be used without any mess. Simply place, enjoy, and dispose of the used pouch responsibly in your household or public waste container.

Smooth Menthol Flavor

Experience a smooth, straightforward menthol flavor that delivers a clean, classic cooling sensation. ZYN Menthol is the purest expression of menthol in the ZYN lineup — no sharp peppermint bite, no spearmint sweetness, no wintergreen earthiness. Just clean, smooth, unmistakable menthol. It’s the flavor that menthol cigarette smokers will recognize immediately — that familiar, satisfying coolness that has made menthol one of the most beloved flavor profiles in the entire tobacco and nicotine industry for decades. For users transitioning from menthol cigarettes to nicotine pouches, ZYN Menthol provides the closest match to that classic menthol experience in a smoke-free, tobacco leaf-free format. ZYN Menthol is also available in a 3mg option for users who prefer a lighter nicotine experience with the same smooth flavor.

6mg Nicotine Strength

Each ZYN Menthol pouch contains 6mg of pharmaceutical-grade nicotine (nicotine bitartrate dihydrate) — the strongest level available in the ZYN lineup. ZYN uses a nicotine salt that is more stable than the nicotine used in some e-cigs, vaping, and liquids. The all-white pouch format delivers controlled, consistent nicotine release for up to 60 minutes per pouch, providing satisfying nicotine absorption for experienced users.

All-White Pouch Design

ZYN pouches feature an all-white design that won’t stain your teeth or leave dark residue like traditional smokeless tobacco products. The clean, white pouch sits discreetly under your lip and delivers a consistent, high-quality experience every time. The pouch is made with plant-based fiber (microcrystalline cellulose) for a comfortable fit.

FDA PMTA Authorized

In January 2025, 20 ZYN products — including Menthol — received FDA Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) marketing authorization, making ZYN one of the first nicotine pouch brands to achieve this regulatory milestone. The FDA’s authorization was based on scientific evidence demonstrating that the marketing of ZYN products is “appropriate for the protection of public health.” This rigorous regulatory validation sets ZYN apart from the vast majority of nicotine pouch brands on the market.

15 Pouches Per Can

Each ZYN Menthol 6mg can contains 15 individual all-white nicotine pouches. The round can features ZYN’s recognizable design and a built-in compartment for used pouch disposal. Also available in rolls of 5 cans (75 pouches) for bulk savings.

Convenient and Portable

ZYN’s round can is compact, pocket-friendly, and easy to carry anywhere. Each can contains 15 pouches with a built-in disposal compartment. The pouches are ready to use instantly with no preparation, no accessories, and no mess required.

Socially Acceptable

Use ZYN Menthol 6mg without subjecting others to secondhand smoke or unpleasant odors. The discreet, odor-free all-white pouches produce no cloud, require no lighter, and leave no lingering smell. Nobody will even know you’re using a nicotine product.

The World’s #1 Nicotine Pouch

ZYN isn’t just a nicotine pouch brand — it’s the nicotine pouch brand. With over 70% of the U.S. market, 384.8 million cans sold worldwide in 2023 (up 62% from 2022), distribution in over 100,000 U.S. retail locations, availability in 12 countries, and FDA PMTA authorization, ZYN has become so dominant that the brand name has essentially become synonymous with the entire nicotine pouch category. Backed by Philip Morris International’s $16 billion acquisition and an additional $800+ million investment in U.S. manufacturing expansion, ZYN’s position as the global leader is only strengthening.

Origins and Innovation

ZYN nicotine pouches were launched in 2014 by Swedish Match AB, a company headquartered in Stockholm with a heritage stretching back to the 1800s in smokeless tobacco and Swedish snus. Swedish Match pioneered the modern nicotine pouch category, developing ZYN as a tobacco leaf-free alternative that delivered nicotine through an all-white pouch format — cleaner, drier, and more discreet than anything that had come before. ZYN was first marketed on a small scale in Colorado before expanding across the western United States in 2016 and simultaneously launching in Sweden. From 2017 to 2019, Swedish Match invested $115 million to expand its U.S. manufacturing facility in Owensboro, Kentucky to meet surging demand. In November 2022, Philip Morris International acquired Swedish Match for $16 billion, integrating ZYN into the portfolio of the world’s largest international tobacco company. ZYN Menthol has been a core part of the lineup, delivering a smooth, classic menthol experience that appeals directly to the millions of adult menthol cigarette smokers looking for a cleaner alternative.

Breaking into the Market

ZYN didn’t just enter the nicotine pouch market — it created it. As one of the first nicotine pouch brands in the United States, ZYN had first-mover advantage in a category that barely existed when it launched in 2014. By 2018, ZYN was available in approximately 13,500 U.S. stores and sold 12.7 million cans. By 2020, that number exploded to 100,000+ stores. By 2023, ZYN commanded over 70% of the entire U.S. nicotine pouch category, with 384.8 million cans sold worldwide — up 62% from 237 million cans in 2022. The brand’s explosive growth even created a nationwide shortage in May 2024, prompting Philip Morris International to announce plans for a new manufacturing facility in Aurora, Colorado (set to begin production in 2026), alongside expanding the existing Kentucky plant to a capacity of approximately 900 million cans annually. ZYN Menthol plays a strategic role in the brand’s lineup — as one of five distinct mint varieties, it specifically targets the enormous menthol cigarette market, offering those users the familiar menthol experience they love in a smoke-free, tobacco leaf-free format.

Product Characteristics and Strengths

ZYN nicotine pouches are available in two nicotine strengths — 3mg and 6mg per pouch — across 10 flavors: Chill, Cinnamon, Citrus, Coffee, Cool Mint, Menthol, Peppermint, Smooth, Spearmint, and Wintergreen. ZYN Menthol 6mg contains 6mg of pharmaceutical-grade nicotine salt (nicotine bitartrate dihydrate) — the strongest option in the ZYN lineup. Each round can contains 15 all-white pouches made with food-grade ingredients including microcrystalline cellulose, stabilizers, pH adjusters, sweeteners, and flavorings. The all-white pouch design ensures no staining and a clean, comfortable fit under the lip. Each pouch delivers controlled nicotine release for up to 60 minutes. ZYN is manufactured at Swedish Match’s facility in Owensboro, Kentucky, as well as two facilities in Sweden (Tidaholm and Vetlanda).

Flavor Innovation and Appeal

ZYN offers one of the most comprehensive mint lineups in the nicotine pouch market with five distinct mint varieties: Cool Mint, Menthol, Peppermint, Spearmint, and Wintergreen. Menthol occupies a unique and important position in this lineup as the purest, most straightforward menthol option — no sharp peppermint bite, no spearmint sweetness, no wintergreen earthiness. Just clean, smooth, classic menthol. This flavor was developed with a clear audience in mind: the millions of adult menthol cigarette smokers who have made menthol one of the most popular flavor profiles in the entire tobacco industry. ZYN Menthol delivers that same familiar, satisfying coolness in a smoke-free, tobacco leaf-free format, making it the ideal transition product for menthol smokers exploring cleaner alternatives. ZYN’s broader flavor range extends beyond mint with signature varieties like Coffee, Cinnamon, and Citrus, as well as two unflavored options (Chill and Smooth).

Quality and Manufacturing

ZYN Menthol 6mg nicotine pouches are manufactured by Swedish Match, a subsidiary of Philip Morris International, at state-of-the-art facilities in Owensboro, Kentucky (USA), Tidaholm (Sweden), and Vetlanda (Sweden). Swedish Match brings over 40 years of expertise in smokeless nicotine products to every ZYN can. Each pouch is made with pharmaceutical-grade nicotine salt and food-grade ingredients under strict quality controls. In January 2025, 20 ZYN products received FDA PMTA marketing authorization — a rigorous regulatory process that requires manufacturers to demonstrate their products are “appropriate for the protection of public health.” The FDA noted that ZYN products contain lower levels of harmful constituents compared with combustible cigarettes and traditional smokeless tobacco. Philip Morris International has invested over $800 million in expanding ZYN’s U.S. manufacturing capacity, including a new facility in Aurora, Colorado set to begin production in 2026.

Market Position and Availability

ZYN is available through select retailers and online platforms across multiple markets, including our Native Smokes Canada store. ZYN is the undisputed #1 nicotine pouch brand in the world — available in 12 countries, distributed in over 100,000 U.S. retail locations, and commanding over 70% of the U.S. nicotine pouch market. The brand sold 384.8 million cans worldwide in 2023, up 62% year-over-year. Philip Morris International acquired ZYN’s creator, Swedish Match, for $16 billion in 2022 and has since invested an additional $800+ million in U.S. manufacturing expansion. ZYN Menthol 6mg represents the brand’s smooth, classic menthol flavor at its strongest available nicotine level — the ideal choice for menthol lovers and former menthol cigarette smokers seeking a premium, FDA-authorized, tobacco leaf-free alternative.
