Three real '6 mg' pouches, three different doses

Not a model - lab measurements of three US pouches all labeled 6 mg. Nearly identical total nicotine, but pH swings the free (absorbable) amount by more than 2×.

03 How it hits

A hit is a curve, not a number

Your selected pouch's nicotine over time, against a cigarette. Built from its measured free nicotine and format. A cigarette spikes and fades; a pouch rises slow and lingers.

Your one-line takeaway

Your ZYN Cool Mint Mini 6mg is a strong pouch - about 3.7 mg of free nicotine, peaking near 55% of a cigarette at ~35 minutes.

Nicotine is addictive; adults 21+ only; educational, not medical or purchasing advice. Measured pH and free-nicotine values are from Stanfill et al., Nicotine & Tobacco Research (2021); curve shape is anchored to published clinical Cmax/Tmax. Estimated values (most EU and newer SKUs) are derived from brand statements where no per-SKU lab data is public, and the time-curve axes are relative, not ng/mL. Formulations and regulations change - read the actual can and follow local law. If you don't already use nicotine, none of this is a reason to start.

How to read this. Curves are modeled from each product's pH, moisture, and format on one shared basis - they show how the recipe shifts speed and shape, not measured plasma levels. The pH / free-nicotine inputs are flagged measured or estimated. Real clinical studies use different people and protocols, so their raw numbers aren't directly comparable across brands - which is exactly why we model on one basis instead of splicing study results together. Measured pH and free-nicotine inputs: Stanfill et al. (2021). Educational only; nicotine is addictive; 21+.
