Introducing on! PLUS™ Nicotine Pouches

The latest products to hit Northerner’s shelves are the highly anticipated on! PLUS™ pouches from on!®.
 

Marking the next step in the evolution of their smokeless portfolio, this new release brings with it: 

  • A refined flavor selection,  
  • Higher strength options,  
  • A first-of-its-kind pouch technology for adult nicotine consumers looking for tobacco leaf-free alternatives that are (let’s face it) more comfortable than most.  

We take a closer look at what’s so special about this launch and how these pouches differ to on!®’s “classic” range for those of you who may not have tried them yet. 

on!® vs on! PLUS™ Comparison

A New Way to Experience on!® 

Just by looking at the two products side by side, you can tell there’s something new about on! PLUS™.


Since 2016, on!® has stood out on the American nicotine pouch market for their distinctive rectangular cans in 7 popular varieties. Fast forward 10 years, and on! PLUS™ is their latest innovation, now available in a more traditional round can with a twist-open safety lid.


But the difference between on!® and on! PLUS™ goes beyond the packaging—it really is what’s inside that counts.


Most notably, on! PLUS™ pouches are made from a high-stretch NICOSILK™ mesh (which really is as soft as it sounds).


They’re leveling up their smokeless experience with seamless pouches that, according to our Director of Commercial Partnerships, set a new industry standard in terms of comfort and flexibility. 

These days, adult users value the mouthfeel of a nicotine pouch as much as its nicotine delivery and flavor variety, so on! PLUS™ really is bringing together the best of the best. We’re excited to finally launch them on Northerner and find a way to connect with old and new on!® customers.

More Milligrams, Fewer Flavors

It’s fair to say that on! PLUS™ is focusing on quality over quantity at launch.


They offer higher strengths in a more streamlined range with Mint, Wintergreen, and Tobacco Flavor pouches containing either 6mg or 9mg of nicotine compared to on!®’s 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg pouches in wider variety of flavors—including their own take on Mint and Wintergreen plus Citrus, Berry, Coffee, Cinnamon, and an unflavored Original.


The feedback we’re getting from nicotine pouch users around the office so far suggests on! PLUS™ has bolder and longer-lasting flavor than on!® pouches.


It’s worth noting these on! PLUS™ products received marketing authorization through the FDA’s PMTA pathway at the end of last year too, following the earlier authorization of 20 ZYN nicotine pouch products.


The FDA said these were among the first decisions issued under its nicotine pouch pilot program, which was implemented as a way of expediting reviews and addressing a backlog of applications while maintaining the agency’s high scientific standards. 

Which Pouch Is Right For You?

As one of the most popular brands currently stocked on Northerner, on!® and on! PLUS™ will undoubtedly appeal for their own reasons.


Stick with on!® if you’re a fan of the flavor variety and mini, dry format—but we’d recommend trying on! PLUS™ if you’re even the slightest bit curious about these stronger, softer, s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-e-r pouches.


Right now, you can even earn double loyalty points with every on! PLUS™ purchase.


Keep in mind that due to their larger size, on! PLUS™ has 6 fewer pouches per can with 14 compared to on!®’s 20, but, aside from that, you can expect the same commitment to tobacco leaf-free enjoyment.
