Sting Free is a Swedish tobacco-free pouch brand from Stingfree AB, built around one distinctive idea: the patented PROTEX two-sided pouch design. At 24Nico, customers across the UK can choose from seven slim flavours running from Normal to Xstrong strength, with VAT included in every price.
Sting Free is a Swedish nicotine pouch brand based in Lidingö, just outside Stockholm, and operated by Stingfree AB. The company owns the patent for the brand's defining product feature, holds the published clinical data backing it, and makes every pouch in the range.
The brand began with founder Bengt Wiberg, a long-time snus user who developed persistent gum pain and was advised by his dentist to stop using pouches entirely. Worried about going back to smoking, he started experimenting with placing a thin barrier between the gum and the pouch. He found that the pain disappeared while flavour and nicotine release felt unchanged, and that observation became the basis for the patented PROTEX two-sided pouch design that now defines the brand.
PROTEX has since been the subject of a peer-reviewed pilot study published in Acta Odontologica, in which 23 Swedish dentists, themselves daily pouch users at the time, replaced their habitual pouches with Sting Free for five weeks. The published study and the underlying patent are both documented on Stingfree AB's own corporate site.
The 24Nico range covers seven slim-format SKUs across three strength tiers:
Every pouch shares the same PROTEX two-sided construction: a white face that releases flavour and nicotine through the oral mucosa, and a blue face positioned against the gum. The construction does not change from flavour to flavour, only the taste profile and strength do.

Sting Free is a Swedish tobacco-free nicotine pouch brand operated by Stingfree AB in Lidingö. Every pouch uses the brand's patented PROTEX two-sided construction — one face releases flavour and nicotine while the other faces the gum — and the 24Nico range covers seven slim-format flavours from 4.4 to 11 mg of nicotine per pouch.
Yes. The pouches use a plant-fibre base with added nicotine, water, flavourings, sweeteners, salt, stabilisers and acidity regulators — no tobacco leaf or stem. The PROTEX gum-facing barrier is part of the pouch construction and contains no tobacco either.
