Using ZYN
Using ZYNis simple, you just need to follow 4 steps to get started:
1. Put the pouch into your mouth
2. Park it under your upper or lower lip, between the lip and gum
3. Leave it in place for up to 60 mins
4. Take out your pouch and throw it in the trash
If you swallow a ZYN pouch, you should speak to your local healthcare professional for advice.
If you are wondering how long to keep a ZYN in, on average a nicotine pouch lasts about 20 to 30 minutes, during which nicotine and flavor are released.
Each can of ZYN contains 15 pouches.
Each can of ZYN has a certified child resistant safety lid and is the first of its kind in the industry, which means opening it requires a special set of steps. Here are the steps to follow if you are wondering how to open a ZYN can: 1. Break perforation of the side label 2. Twist the lid to align the top and bottom arrows on the can 3. Lift off the lid.
You should use nicotine pouches orally: the best place to park a ZYN pouch is between the upper lip and gum, but you can also use them between the lower lip and gum.
It's generally recommended to use a maximum of one pouch every 1 to 2 hours, with an average daily limit of 10-15 pouches. However, please follow the specific instructions on the can and consider your nicotine tolerance or limits when using ZYN.
While ZYN pouches do not have an expiry date, they do have a "best before" date. To enjoy ZYN at its freshest, consume it before the "best before" date printed on the bottom of each can. It is safe to use ZYN after this date, but the flavor and nicotine experience may be less intense.
You do not need tospit while using ZYN.
The nicotine in ZYN is absorbed orally when you put the ZYN pouch between your gum and lip - and this is how the nicotine gets into your body.
