Northerner's Media Hub
Here at Northerner, we’ve been a pioneer in smoke-free alternatives since 1998. What started in a Swedish student flat over 25 years ago has grown into a trusted international platform with more than a million customers under the Haypp Group umbrella.
Our mission is simple: to minimize smoking-related harm and empower adult nicotine consumers with access to tobacco leaf-free alternatives. We specialize in nicotine pouches and uphold the highest product quality and safety standards through independent lab testing, ensuring compliance in an evolving regulatory landscape across both American and European markets.
Northerner really is your go-to destination for quality, convenience, and expertise, but we’re more than just an online store. We’re also a knowledge hub and thought leader in the smokeless space—initiating our own consumer surveys, industry research, and corporate reporting to better inform policymakers and the public at large.
Our PR and Media team are available for comment on topics such as product safety, innovation, and responsible nicotine use — including youth access prevention and tobacco harm reduction — and are happy to provide further insight or supporting material on request.
