Find the Best ZYN Alternatives

Have you ever stopped to consider what other brands are out there in the absence of your favorite ZYN? What do you buy when 15 cans a month isn’t enough, or ZYN is out of stock? We wanted to take a data-driven approach to the problem by curating a list of recommendations that go beyond simply flavor and strength.


Our analysts looked through months of Nicokick orders to see what loyal ZYN customers have not only put in their shopping carts recently, but what they’ve come back to purchase again and again during the ZYN shortage. Chances are, you’re likely to enjoy a few of these products too.


So, no matter whether you’re chasing a pouch that matches as closely as possible or are keen to try something completely new, use this guide to explore the top alternatives that (according to our customers) can help fill that ZYN-shaped hole in your life.
