NORDIC SPIRIT Nicotine Pouches

What Are Nordic Spirit Nicotine Pouches?

Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches are tobacco free pouches from JTI (Japan Tobacco International). The brand was first launched in Sweden in 2018, where it was made at Vårgårda Kvarn, a historic mill outside Gothenburg. Nordic Spirit says its UK pouches are now produced in Poland. Each pouch holds nicotine extract, plant based fibres and flavourings, with no tobacco leaf.

On this page the range is split by Nordic Spirit's own strength names: 6MG Regular, 9MG Strong, 11MG X-Strong, 17MG Max and Bundles, so you can choose a strength first and then a flavour.

How Strong Are Nordic Spirit Nicotine Pouches?

Nordic Spirit prints the nicotine content per pouch on every can, along with a strength name and a row of dots. Pouchline stocks four Standard strengths:

• Regular, 6mg, 2 dots: the lightest Standard pouch. Our Regular category.
• Strong, 9mg, 3 dots: the widest choice of flavours. Our Strong category.
• X-Strong, 11mg, 4 dots: mostly mint and cooling flavours. Our Extra Strong category.
• Max, 17mg, 6 dots: the strongest Nordic Spirit, for experienced nicotine users. Our Ultra Strong category.

Nordic Spirit also makes smaller Mini pouches at 3mg and 4mg, which Pouchline does not currently stock.

What Does MG Per Pouch Mean?

MG per pouch is the amount of nicotine in one pouch. Our titles also show mg/g, the nicotine per gram of pouch, using Nordic Spirit's own figures: 9mg/g for 6mg, 14mg/g for 9mg, 17mg/g for 11mg and 24mg/g for 17mg. Our nicotine pouch strength guide explains the difference.

Nordic Spirit Moist vs Dry

Every Nordic Spirit can is labelled Moist or Dry, and the two feel quite different under the lip.

• Moist: extra moisture for a softer feel and a quicker flavour release. Most of the range is Moist, including Frosty Mint, Frosty Berry, Icy Peppermint, Sweet Mint and the fruit flavours.
• Dry: a drier pouch with a bold flavour release and a steady nicotine experience. Only Mint, Spearmint and Watermelon are Dry.

Every can we stock is the Standard size, which retailers often call Slim, with 20 pouches per can.

Which Nordic Spirit Strength Should I Choose?

Nordic Spirit's own guide suggests 1 or 2 dots for new users, 3 or 4 dots for moderate users and 6 dots for experienced users. As a starting point:

• New to nicotine pouches: a 6mg Regular can, such as Raspberry 6MG.
• Regular pouch users: 9mg Strong or 11mg X-Strong, such as Frosty Mint 11MG.
• Experienced users: the 17mg Max cans, such as Icy Peppermint 17MG.

Most flavours come in at least two strengths, so you can usually keep the taste you like and move up or down a step.

What Flavours Do Nordic Spirit Pouches Come In?

• Mint: Mint (menthol and crisp peppermint), Spearmint (sweet spearmint with menthol freshness) and Sweet Mint (mint with sweet notes).
• Icy and cooling: Frosty Mint, an icy blast of peppermint, and Icy Peppermint, icy coolness with a peppermint punch.
• Berries: Raspberry, Blueberry, Forest Berries (wild berries and blackcurrant) and Frosty Berry, which pairs peppermint with a fruity berry finish.
• Fruit: Tropical Mix (pineapple and mango), Watermelon, Melon Fresh and Zesty Pear.
• Something different: Dark Fizz.

What Does Nordic Spirit Dark Fizz Taste Like?

The name makes some people expect cola, but Nordic Spirit describes Dark Fizz as spicy sweet cinnamon, vanilla and citrus. It is a Moist pouch and comes in 6mg and 9mg.

The New Nordic Spirit Cans

In 2026 Nordic Spirit moved to a new look built around a North Star symbol, with bolder colours, Moist and Dry labels on every can and the six dot strength scale. Frosty Mint Max was the first can in the new design. The flavours and strengths did not change, so you may see old and new cans of the same product while stock changes over.

How Do You Use Nordic Spirit Nicotine Pouches?

Place one pouch under your top or bottom lip. Nordic Spirit says the tingle usually lasts around 15 minutes and a pouch can stay in for up to 30 minutes. Don't chew or swallow it.

When you are done, keep the used pouch in the lid compartment until you can put it in general waste. Use one pouch at a time, and take extra care when moving up to a stronger can.

Is Nordic Spirit Snus? Does It Contain Tobacco?

Lots of people search for "Nordic Spirit snus", but Nordic Spirit says its pouches are 100% tobacco free and not snus. Traditional snus contains tobacco; Nordic Spirit does not. Both are used under the lip, which is why the names get mixed up.

Tobacco free does not mean nicotine free. Nordic Spirit contains nicotine, which is addictive, and the pouches are for adults 18+ who already use nicotine. For the UK rules, read our guide to snus in the UK.

Are There Side Effects?

Nordic Spirit pouches contain nicotine, and unwanted effects can happen. ASH lists nausea, vomiting, headaches and dizziness among reported effects, especially for people who are not used to nicotine. A stronger can than you are used to makes this more likely, so step up gradually, particularly to the 17mg Max cans.

If a pouch makes you feel sick or dizzy, or irritates your mouth, take it out, and speak to a healthcare professional about any ongoing mouth or gum problems.
