How to Use ZYN Instructions

Follow these steps when using a ZYN nicotine pouch. 

1. Open the Can 

Open the can and remove one pouch. 

Packaging differs slightly between product lines. ZYN cans feature a child-resistant twist-and-lock lid, while ZYN Ultra uses a standard snap lid. Always follow the opening instructions printed on the can. 

2. Place the Pouch 

Place one pouch between your upper lip and gum. Many adult nicotine users position the pouch slightly to one side so it stays in place. 

Do not chew, suck, or swallow the pouch. 

3. Use the Pouch 

Once the pouch is in place, ZYN pouches can be used for up to 60 minutes. Always follow the instructions on the product packaging and remove the pouch sooner if it feels uncomfortable. 

4. Remove the Pouch 

When you are finished, remove the pouch and throw it away in the trash. If you are using ZYN Ultra, the can comes with a built-in waste compartment. 

Do not flush nicotine pouches or leave used pouches on the ground. 

5. Close the Can 

Close the lid securely after removing a pouch. 

For standard ZYN products, twist the lid until the child-resistant lock is engaged. If you're using ZYN Ultra, press the snap lid firmly closed after use. 

Pouch Placement

ZYN nicotine pouches are typically placed between the upper lip and gum.

Most adult nicotine users position the pouch slightly to one side so it remains in place during use. If you use nicotine pouches regularly, you may prefer to alternate sides rather than placing every pouch in the same location.

Do not place a pouch under your tongue, chew it, or swallow it.
