What happens if you swallow a ZYN pouch?

If you’ve accidentally swallowed a ZYN pouch, there is absolutely no reason to panic. ZYN is specially made to be absorbed while sitting in your mouth, so nicotine will be absorbed in your stomach at a much lower level if ingested.

Simply put, ZYN pouches have a very similar chemical composition to the products used in chewing gum. The pouches are not designed to be ingested, but accidentally swallowing one pouch shouldn’t be a cause for concern.

Although it must be stressed, these should not be consumed regularly as our pouches are not designed to be broken down in the body’s digestive system. If you have been swallowing ZYN pouches regularly, please consult your doctor immediately.
