ZYN Menthol Ice Nicotine Pouches — ZYN's Strongest, Coldest Pouch
The maximum-strength ZYN. Menthol Ice combines intense eucalyptus and sharp menthol for the coldest, most intense ZYN experience available — paired with 13.5mg of nicotine, which makes it the strongest pouch in the entire ZYN UK lineup. UK reviewers describe it as "a frozen hit perfect for users who crave an extra kick" and "long-lasting with an icy mint finish that keeps the mouth feeling fresh."
If ZYN Cool Mint is the daily-driver and ZYN Spearmint is the beginner option, Menthol Ice is the heavy hitter. Single strength: 13.5mg Regular — Extra Strong. 21 pouches per can in slim moist format. Tobacco-free, smoke-free, made by Swedish Match in Stockholm.

How To Use ZYN Menthol Ice
- Twist the lid until you hear it click
- Place one pouch under your upper lip, slightly to one side
- Cooling activates within 30–60 seconds — eucalyptus first, menthol layered on top
- Leave in for up to 30 minutes
- Dispose in the lid compartment
The eucalyptus character is what distinguishes Menthol Ice from regular mint pouches. It's slightly medicinal, deeply cooling, and pairs naturally with the high nicotine strength.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does eucalyptus flavour differ from peppermint?
Eucalyptus is sharper, slightly medicinal, with a more aggressive cooling effect. Peppermint (in Cool Mint) is sweeter and more rounded. Menthol Ice users typically describe the experience as "more intense" or "more clinical" than peppermint pouches.
Is Menthol Ice ZYN's strongest pouch?
Yes — at 13.5mg, it's the maximum ZYN UK strength. It's also tied with ZYN Blackcurrant Frost as the strongest in the brand. Higher than ZYN Cool Mint (11mg max), but lower than VELO's maximum (17mg).
How does it compare to VELO Freezing Peppermint?
Both are maximum cooling pouches, but VELO Freezing Peppermint goes higher in strength (up to 17mg) and uses peppermint as its flavour base rather than eucalyptus. Menthol Ice is the ZYN equivalent of "max cooling, max strength" but with a different flavour character.
Is Menthol Ice good for beginners?
No. The 13.5mg strength is firmly experienced-user territory. Brand-new to pouches? Start with ZYN Spearmint 1.5mg. Already comfortable with regular pouches? Move up to ZYN Cool Mint 11mg first.
Are nicotine pouches legal in the UK?
Yes. Legal under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. Legal age of sale 18+ from 1 January 2027. Vape7Store operates Challenge 25.
Will the October 2026 vape tax affect pouch prices?
No. The £2.20 per 10ml Vaping Products Duty applies only to e-liquid.
