Can you Buy ZYN in New Zealand?

Have you ever walked up to the counter at your local gas station in Auckland NZ, asked for a tin of ZYN, and been told they don’t have it in New Zealand? You aren’t alone. ZYN has become a global phenomenon for people looking to switch from smoking or vaping, but good luck finding it locally in New Zealand.

Wondering why it’s so hard to find your favorite pouch locally? or if they’re even legally allowed? You’ve come to the right place.

Is ZYN Legal in New Zealand?

This is the most common question we get. The short answer is yes, it is legal to possess and use, but the rules on buying it are tricky:

• You Cannot Buy it in Stores: Under New Zealand’s current regulations, local retailers (supermarkets, corner stores, pharmacies, or pretty much anyone to be honest) are not permitted to sell oral nicotine pouches like ZYN over the counter.
• You Can Import it Legally: The law allows New Zealanders to import nicotine pouches for personal use. Meaning that buying ZYN online from an international vendor (like NICOPROF) is completely legal, provided you aren’t ordering huge commercial quantities to resell.

You won’t find ZYN on the High Street, but you can legally order it online and have it delivered to your mailbox.

Kiwi users tend to stick to the classics: fresh mints and citrus flavors are always in high demand. Here is a look at the ZYN varieties that are currently trending across NZ and the rest of the world:

3 Alternatives to ZYN in New Zealand

While ZYN is the market leader, stock shortages or a desire for a different “kick” might have you looking for a backup. If you enjoy the clean, white format of ZYN, here are 5 excellent alternatives available to NZ customers:

1. VELO: The closest rival to ZYN. VELO pouches are soft, slim, and come in a wide range of strengths. If you like ZYN Cool Mint, you will almost certainly enjoy VELO Ice Cool. They are known for a very smooth nicotine delivery.
2. White Fox: If ZYN feels a little too weak for you, White Fox is the natural next step. Famous for their “Freezing Peppermint” flavor and distinct tins, these pouches pack a significantly stronger punch than standard ZYN.
3. KILLA: While ZYN is generally mild to medium, KILLA is designed for those who want a strong buzz. If you have been using ZYN for a long time and aren’t feeling it anymore, KILLA is the popular upgrade in the NZ market.

Where to Buy ZYN in NZ?
