Is Kingston snus?
Kingston is not snus. Snus is moist tobacco and cannot legally be sold in the UK, so what you are buying here is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch: plant fibre, nicotine and flavouring in a white pouch that sits under the lip. "Kingston snus" and "Kingston nicotine pouches" mean the same cans.
Kingston is a British brand. The pouches come from Kingston Trading UK Ltd, based in Hull in East Yorkshire. Our guide to what snus is explains the difference in more detail, and is snus legal in the UK covers the law.
Kingston strengths
Kingston cans are labelled in milligrams per gram, not per pouch, which is why the numbers look unusually high. Every flavour we list comes in the same four options, and each can holds 20 pouches. The per-pouch figures below are the ones to judge a can by.
| Printed on the can | Per pouch | Our band |
|---|---|---|
| 12 mg/g | 8 mg | Medium |
| 18 mg/g | 12 mg | Strong |
| 28 mg/g | 18 mg | Strong |
| 50 mg/g | 32.5 mg | Extra strong |
Our strength bands run Low 1-6 mg, Medium 7-11 mg, Strong 12-20 mg and Extra Strong 21 mg and above, counted per pouch. The 50 mg/g option is among the highest we sell anywhere in the shop, so it is not a sensible place to begin. Nicotine is highly addictive, and the higher options carry a great deal more of it. Nicotine pouch strengths explained walks through how the two measurements relate.
Kingston flavours
We list ten Kingston flavours and most of them finish cold, with "Ice" in the name meaning added cooling rather than a separate mint pouch. The line-up splits into straight mints, iced berries and iced fruit, one citrus and two sweeter options.
- Mint and menthol: Fresh Mint and Minty Menthol, alongside our other mint pouches.
- Berry: Blackcurrant Ice, Blue Raspberry Ice, Strawberry Ice and Zingberry, with more in berry.
- Fruit and citrus: Watermelon Ice, Mango Melon Berries Ice and Lemon Citrus Ice, which sit with our fruit, tropical and citrus collections.
- Sweeter: Bubblegum Ice, the softest flavour in the range.
How to use them
Put one pouch under your top lip and press it against the gum. Leave it alone rather than chewing it, and do not swallow it. Twenty to sixty minutes is typical, and the lid of the can is there for the used pouch. See how to use nicotine pouches.
