Roughly 1.5 mg per pouch or 3.0 mg/g, assuming a slim pouch at 0.50 g. That is an estimate from the format median, not a measured weight for this product — how this conversion works.
What it is
ZYN Spearmint X-Low is a low-strength nicotine pouch in a Mini can. Each pouch contains 1.5mg nicotine and delivers a mild, clean spearmint taste with a soft, green mint sweetness and a gentle cool finish. The white, tobacco-free pouches are discreet and smoke-free. With 20 pouches per can, it suits people new to nicotine pouches or those wanting a light nicotine experience.
What people say
Reviewers describe a sweet, green spearmint taste that stays mild and clean, with a coolness that builds slowly and fades after around 40 minutes. It is often called gentle and not harsh, and some find it moreish. The main caution is addiction: at 1.5mg it is still nicotine and can be as habit-forming as other nicotine products.

About ZYN Spearmint
ZYN Spearmint X-Low uses a Mini pouch format and a 1.5mg nicotine dose. The taste is led by the sweet, green character of spearmint rather than a strong mint burn; the coolness arrives gradually and finishes softly, rather than turning sharp. Because the dose is low, the physical effect is gentle: a mild tingling in the mouth, a light buzz that builds over a few minutes, and a steady, clean feeling rather than a sudden spike. The pouches themselves are white, tobacco-leaf-free and fit discreetly under the upper lip.
Each can holds 20 pouches. The official guidance is to place one pouch under the lip and keep it in for around 30 minutes; beginners may prefer a shorter time. The Mini size is small and discreet, and the can includes a lid compartment for used pouches. There is no smoke and no device, and the nicotine is derived from tobacco even though the pouch contains no tobacco leaf. This makes it a muted, controlled option for people who want a light nicotine experience or are starting with nicotine pouches.
