On! vs ZYN: A Face-Off

On! and ZYN: Pioneering New Frontiers

When it comes to innovative nicotine products, ZYN and On! lead the charge. 

Swedish Match’s ZYN set the standard for tobacco-free pouches with its smooth nicotine delivery and discreet fit. Both brands use food grade ingredients and nicotine salt, ensuring high-quality slim and mini pouches. 

On!, launched in 2019 by Helix Innovations (a subsidiary of Altria), took a different route, focusing on smaller pouch sizes and adventurous flavours. With its origins in Sweden, On! has gained traction globally for its compact and user-friendly design. 

Flavour Options: Simple vs Bold Nicotine Pouches

Zyn vs On!: flavour options

ZYN takes a more classic approach. With options like ZYN Cool Mint 6mg Mini Strong, ZYN Citrus Mini Strong 6 mg and ZYN Coffee 6 mg, ZYN is about delivering satisfying flavours. ZYN covers a wide range of flavour offerings, appealing to users with diverse preferences. 

Their range might feel less adventurous but scores big on smoothness and balance.​ 

Find the full ZYN flavours’ line-up

On! brings some unique and adventurous flavours to the table. From the zesty On! Spicy Lime 6mg Mini to the tangy On! Plus Berry Slim Strong, there’s a lot to explore. On!’s flavours are vibrant and pack a punch, perfect for those who like a bit of zest in their day.

Their On! Spearmint 6mg Mini Strong and On! Plus Citrus Slim Strong are especially popular for their balance of tangy flavours.

Eco-Friendly Efforts: Who's Greener in Nicotine Pouches?

Winner: ZYN, by a small margin.
