ZYN Dots Breakdown

Each ZYN pouch can also be identified by a dot strength system shown on the can. For example, the ZYN 3 dot strength indicates 9mg

ZYN’s dot system makes it easy to identify nicotine levels. Note that Mini and Slim pouch sizes differ slightly in how dots correspond to mg strength. Since mini pouches are smaller than slim ones, the nicotine to pouch ratio is higher.

Use this table to easily identify and compare nicotine levels when exploring ZYN products:

ZYN Format	Dots	Nicotine (mg)
Mini	No dots	1.5mg
Mini	⚫	3mg
Mini	⚫⚫	6mg
Slim	⚫⚫⚫	9mg
Slim	⚫⚫⚫⚫	11mg
Slim	⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫	13.5mg
Slim	⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫	16.5mg

Mini cans display up to 2 dots, while Slim cans can display up to 6.
