For snus users: the Scandinavian flavour line
Snus has its own flavour tradition: dark liquorice, salty salmiak, and the citrus-floral note of bergamot that defines many classic snus blends. A handful of nicotine-free pouches carry that profile, and four of them come in the Large format, which sits under the lip more like a traditional snus portion than a slim pouch does.
Product: Zeronito Lakrits Original Format, pouch weight: Large, 0.8 g Pouches per can: 20 Flavour, as the maker describes it: Dark liquorice with a salty edge Sweetener on the panel: E950, E967, E955 |
Product: Zeronito Stark Original Format, pouch weight: Large, 0.8 g Pouches per can: 20 Flavour, as the maker describes it: Classic bergamot with distinct citrus notes Sweetener on the panel: None listed |
Product: LEWA CLASSIC Liquorice No Nico Format, pouch weight: Large, 0.9 g Pouches per can: 18 Flavour, as the maker describes it: Liquorice with salmiak notes and a dry yerba mate undertone Sweetener on the panel: Stevia (RA97) |
Product: LEWA CLASSIC Taste of Tobacco No Nico Format, pouch weight: Large, 0.9 g Pouches per can: 18 Flavour, as the maker describes it: Tangy bergamot with the dry, roasted character of yerba mate Sweetener on the panel: Stevia (RA97) |
Product: Zeronito Lakrits Slim Format, pouch weight: Slim, 0.7 g Pouches per can: 20 Flavour, as the maker describes it: Dark liquorice depth Sweetener on the panel: Not published |
Product: Après Zero Raspberry Liqorice Format, pouch weight: Slim, 0.55 g Pouches per can: 20 Flavour, as the maker describes it: Tart raspberry with a dark liquorice note Sweetener on the panel: Not published |
The salt in these pouches is part of the taste. The Zeronito panels list salmiak (ammonium chloride, E510) next to ordinary salt, and the LEWA CLASSIC panel lists ammonium chloride too. LEWA CLASSIC also lists yerba mate, a South American plant; LEWA prints no caffeine figure for these two pouches. "Taste of Tobacco" is a flavour name only. Nothing in any of these pouches comes from the tobacco plant.
If you know snus, two differences are worth stating plainly. A nicotine-free pouch is dry and white rather than moist and brown, and it carries flavour only. Our snus vs nicotine pouches article explains how the white pouch format grew out of snus. The tobacco-style flavours are filtered at tobacco flavour, the four Large pouches at Large format, and the snus-style pouches page collects them in one place.
For pouch users: slim white mint
If the slim white pouch is the format you know, the direct match is a Slim mint pouch, 20 to a can, white and dry. Seven zero-nicotine pouches fit that description, and they differ mainly in weight and in how the cooling note is described.
Product: XQS Virgin Peppermint ZERO Pouch weight: 0.5 g Pouches per can: 20 How the maker describes it: Sharp peppermint with a pronounced cooling note |
Product: Après Zero Mint Pouch weight: 0.55 g Pouches per can: 20 How the maker describes it: A sweet mint character with a distinct peppermint note |
Product: LOOP Ice Cool Mint Zero Pouch weight: 0.625 g Pouches per can: 20 How the maker describes it: A pronounced cooling mint that runs consistently through use |
Product: Zeronito Icy Mint Slim Pouch weight: 0.7 g Pouches per can: 20 How the maker describes it: A distinct mint character with a pronounced cooling note |
Product: VELO Bright Peppermint Zero Pouch weight: 0.7 g Pouches per can: 20 How the maker describes it: Sweet peppermint moving into a clear menthol note |
Product: LEO Freeze Ice Zero Pouch weight: 0.7 g Pouches per can: 20 How the maker describes it: Sweet mint with a pronounced cooling note |
Product: Onico Cool Mint Pure White Slim Pouch weight: 0.7 g Pouches per can: 22 How the maker describes it: Peppermint with a cooling note of menthol |
Weight is the practical difference. At 0.5 g, XQS is the smallest pouch in the range; at 0.7 g, Zeronito, VELO, LEO and Onico sit a little fuller. Onico is the one can with 22 pouches rather than 20. The whole set is filtered at mint, and the nicotine-free alternatives to ZYN guide matches the slim format trait by trait.
By flavour family
Past mint and the snus flavours, the range splits into a few clear families. Each table lists the zero-nicotine pouches only.
Fruit and berry
Product: Zeronito Blue Raspberry Slim Brand: ZERONITO Pouch weight: 0.7 g Flavour, as the maker describes it: Sweet blue raspberry with a tart note |
Product: Zeronito Strawberry Lime Slim Brand: ZERONITO Pouch weight: 0.7 g Flavour, as the maker describes it: Sweet strawberry with a tangy lime note |
Product: Zeronito Melon Rush Slim Brand: ZERONITO Pouch weight: 0.7 g Flavour, as the maker describes it: A sweet melon character with a natural, fruity note |
Product: Zeronito Exotic Slim Brand: ZERONITO Pouch weight: 0.7 g Flavour, as the maker describes it: A bright fruity sweetness |
Product: VELO Purple Grape Zero Brand: VELO Zero Pouch weight: 0.7 g Flavour, as the maker describes it: Sweet purple grape with a spiced undertone |
Product: VELO Tropical Mango Zero Brand: VELO Zero Pouch weight: 0.7 g Flavour, as the maker describes it: Mandarin, passion fruit and mango |
Product: LEO Black Cherry Zero Brand: LEO Zero Pouch weight: 0.7 g Flavour, as the maker describes it: Sweet, round dark cherry |
Product: Onico Black Cherry Pure White Slim Brand: Onico Pouch weight: 0.7 g Flavour, as the maker describes it: Black cherry with notes of almond and citrus |
Product: Après Zero Blueberry Brand: Après Zero Pouch weight: 0.55 g Flavour, as the maker describes it: Blueberry with a gentle, natural sweetness |
Product: Après Zero Ice Tea Peach Brand: Après Zero Pouch weight: 0.55 g Flavour, as the maker describes it: Sweet peach with a mild black tea note |
All are Slim and 20 per can, except Onico at 22. The fruit family is filtered at fruit.
Ice: fruit with a cooling note
LEO Zero builds most of its line this way: fruit or berry with a cooling note on top. Every LEO Zero panel lists the same synthetic cooling agent, which gives a cold mouthfeel without menthol. Black Ice is tart blackcurrant, Blue Razz Ice is blue raspberry, Sour Peach is peach with a tart edge, and Watermelon Ice is watermelon with a mild cooling note. From other brands, Zeronito Peach Ice Slim and Zeronito Honey Melon Ice Slim follow the same idea, and VELO Wintery Watermelon Zero pairs watermelon with peppermint. All are Slim, 0.7 g, 20 per can. Browse the line at LEO Zero.
Cola, coffee and something different
ZERONITO is where the range gets unusual. Zeronito Cola Slim is a classic cola with lightly spiced notes. Zeronito Espresso Slim carries roasted coffee depth, with no caffeine figure printed. Zeronito Jalapeno Slim (0.6 g) brings chilli heat, and Zeronito Blueberry Chilli Slim pairs sweet blueberry with a mild chilli note. With 14 products, ZERONITO has the widest flavour range of any brand in our nicotine-free catalogue; the full line is at ZERONITO, and coffee is filtered at coffee.
The sweetener line
Some people choose by what is sweetening the pouch. Three lines stand out on the panels.
- Xylitol. All four VELO Zero pouches list xylitol (E967), alongside sucralose (E955) or acesulfame K (E950). Zeronito Icy Mint, Blue Raspberry and Lakrits Original list it too.
- Stevia. The two LEWA CLASSIC No Nico pouches list stevia (RA97) and no other sweetener.
- No sweetener listed. Zeronito Stark Original lists no sweetener at all: bulking agent, water, flavourings, salt, humectant, thickener, acidity regulator and salmiak.
Eleven products have no published ingredients list: four Après Zero pouches, six Zeronito Slim flavours and LOOP Ice Cool Mint Zero. For those, the panel on the can is the source of truth.
If you want caffeine too
Sixteen pouches in the nicotine-free range add caffeine, printed per pouch on the can, from 20 mg to 100 mg. Here they are by flavour family rather than by level; the best caffeine pouches guide does it the other way round.
Mint: LEWA BURN Citrus Mint (20 mg), LEWA FOCUS Cucumber Mint (20 mg), LEWA POWER Functional Wintermint (50 mg), Hicaff Fresh Mint Slim (100 mg) |
Coffee: CAMO Vanilla Coffee and Iced Mocha (77 mg), CAFERO Americano, Cappuccino and Vanilla Latte (80 mg) |
Fruit and berry: LEWA GLOW Strawberry Vanilla (20 mg), LEWA POWER Apple Spruce (50 mg), CAMO Bubble Gum (77 mg), Hicaff Energy Rush (100 mg) |
Cola: LEWA POWER Cola Lime (50 mg), Hicaff Classic Cola Slim (100 mg) |
Liquorice: LEWA POWER Liquorice Raspberries (50 mg) |
Caffeine is a stimulant; how you respond to it is individual. For reference, EFSA gives 400 mg a day and 200 mg in a single serving for healthy adults, and the NHS gives 200 mg a day during pregnancy. The full set is at caffeine pouches.

FAQ
What is nicotine free snus?
The everyday UK name for a nicotine-free pouch: a white plant-fibre pouch with 0 mg nicotine and no tobacco, used under the lip. True snus contains tobacco, so strictly speaking these are pouches, not snus.
Is there a nicotine-free pouch that tastes like snus?
The closest flavours are liquorice, salmiak and bergamot: Zeronito Lakrits Original, Zeronito Stark Original and the two LEWA CLASSIC No Nico pouches, all in the Large format. They contain no tobacco; "Taste of Tobacco" is a flavour name.
Which nicotine-free pouches are liquorice flavoured?
Zeronito Lakrits Original (Large), Zeronito Lakrits Slim, LEWA CLASSIC Liquorice No Nico (Large) and Après Zero Raspberry Liqorice. LEWA POWER Liquorice Raspberries is a liquorice option with 50 mg caffeine per pouch.
Is there a nicotine-free pouch with no sweetener?
Yes. Zeronito Stark Original lists no sweetener on its panel. The LEWA CLASSIC No Nico pouches list stevia only.
Does 24Nico sell nicotine pouches in the UK too?
Yes, in a separate nicotine pouch range.
Is VAT included on UK orders?
