It's Time to Say Goodbye to Tobacco

Here at Northerner, we’re proud to have been in the business of smokeless tobacco and nicotine for 25 years, but the times they are a’ changin’, and we’ve decided to move away from tobacco and only stock tobacco-free nicotine products from now on.


This isn’t a decision we’ve taken lightly. 


Since 1999 we’ve built up a loyal following of snus, snuff/dip and chew enthusiasts across the country, helping hundreds of thousands of customers meet their nicotine needs without resorting to harmful cigarettes. 


The truth is that, these days, an increasing number of Americans are making the switch to tobacco-free alternatives, and we want to be part of that positive, public health movement – not only to ensure we stock the best assortment of products at the best prices, but to stay at the forefront of the industry and serve our customers’ changing preferences in the best way possible. 

Embracing a Tobacco-Free Future

Some of you might be wondering, “why now?” Well, according to our Business Unit Manager for the US, James Lees, there’s been a downwards trend in tobacco sales, coupled with a huge surge in popularity for nicotine pouches that we just can’t ignore.

It’s time for us to embrace a tobacco-free future and focus 100% on providing what our customers truly want.

If you’re curious to understand what all the fuss is about, or how nicotine pouches compare to what you usually order, we encourage you to check out our list of smokeless tobacco alternatives.


Here you’ll find the top products and brands we’ve seen Northerner customers ordering in the “dual use segment” (people who like to mix it up with both tobacco and tobacco leaf-free products in their shopping baskets).


By letting their experiences and recommendations guide you, you can cut out the guesswork and more easily find a nicotine pouch you enjoy.

Interestingly, we’ve started to see popular tobacco brands taking the tobacco-free leap too, with Grizzly one of the first to launch a nicotine pouch range and more surely to follow as long-standing tobacco users warm up to the idea of trying something new. Who knows! You might be surprised how much you enjoy it (or how little you notice the difference).


Of course, you can always reach out to us if you want some extra help navigating a new category or narrowing down your choices at the checkout. We will continue to offer top notch customer service, just as we remain committed to being the #1 online destination for nicotine pouches in the US.
