As of 2022, Italy now welcomes tobacco-free nicotine products like ZYN and VELO, making them accessible to Italian consumers nationwide. 

With fast delivery, budget-friendly prices, and countless flavors to explore, getting your favorite nicotine pouches shipped directly to your Italian address has never been simpler.

In this guide, you will learn more about the legislation, the best place to buy nicotine pouches while in Italy (spoiler: It’s us at Snusdaddy!), and our most recommended pouches that users of all types are sure to enjoy.

So, as you guys in Italy would say, Andiamo!

Introduction to Nicotine Pouches in Italy

Italian legislation enacted Law 15/2022, making nicotine pouches fully legal as of February 2022 under specific regulatory conditions.

These small, tobacco-free pouches contain nicotine, plant fibers, and flavorings that sit comfortably under your upper lip

With no odor, no need to spit, and no stepping outside, they offer a cleaner and more discreet experience without harmful smoke, something that cigarettes and vapes can't match.

Legal and Regulatory Landscape

While the market continues to develop, here's what Italian customers need to know:

  • People can purchase and use nicotine pouches from major brands like ZYNVELO, and LOOP in Italy
  • You must be at least 18 years old to buy nicotine pouches
  • Current taxation on nicotine pouches ranges from €22 per kilogram as of January 1, 2023
  • Customs regulations allow for personal imports of reasonable quantities

As part of the European Union, Italy follows similar nicotine pouch regulations to neighboring countries like France and Spain.

The regulatory landscape may evolve as the EU develops policies for new nicotine products. But for now, Italian consumers can enjoy their favorite brands without legal worries.

Choosing the Right Nicotine Pouch in Italy

Finding the perfect nicotine pouch depends on your experience level, flavor preferences, and desired strength. Here's how to choose what's right for you:

Strength Levels for Italian Consumers

Nicotine pouches typically come in these strength categories:

Nicotine pouch strength

  • Mild (1-4 mg/g): Perfect for beginners or casual users
  • Regular (6-9 mg/g): For regular users with some nicotine tolerance
  • Strong (10-15 mg/g): For experienced users seeking a more potent effect
  • Extra Strong (16+ mg/g): For very experienced users only

If you're new to nicotine pouches, start with a mild strength like ZYN Dry Spearmint or VELO Breezy Mango and gradually work your way up if needed.

Experienced users might prefer stronger options like LOOP Jalapeño Lime, VELO Freezing Peppermint, or on! PLUS Raspberry Lemon. For the most intense experience, VELO Mighty Peppermint Max offers the powerful kick that advanced users seek.

The nicotine pouches' strength also helps aid people with focus and productivity. For instance, many Italian professionals choose ZYN Mini products for workday use. On the other hand, University students across Rome and Milan prefer the discreet LOOP options during study sessions.

The nicotine delivery method affects your experience, too. Read about nicotine absorption to understand how these pouches work compared to other nicotine products.

Flavor Variety Popular in Italy

Italian consumers tend to favor these flavor profiles:

  • Mint/Menthol: Refreshing and cooling (VELO Freezing Peppermint, VELO Mighty Peppermint Max, ZYN Spearmint)
  • Fruit: Sweet and tangy (ZYN Citrus, Klint Honeymelon, VELO Breezy Mango, on! PLUS Raspberry Lemon)
  • Coffee/Spice: Rich and complex (ZYN Espressino, LOOP Jalapeño)

Your personal preference should guide your choice, but mint varieties are generally a safe starting point for newcomers.

Here are interesting tidbits based on our sales records:

  • Italian customers from Rome tend to prefer mint varieties like VELO Freezing Peppermint
  • Milan consumers show a preference for coffee-flavored options like ZYN Espressino
  • Naples and Sicily have seen growing interest in fruit-flavored nicotine pouches such as Klint Honeymelon and VELO Breezy Mango

Of course, the satisfaction that the flavors of these nicotine pouches have is just part of the story. You also have to be wary of the effects nicotine pouches have on your overall health. This way, you know what to expect when using these products.

Storage in Italian Climate

Italy's warm Mediterranean climate, especially during summer months, requires proper storage:

  • Store unopened cans in the refrigerator to maintain freshness
  • Once opened, keep cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
  • Consider using a pouch container for on-the-go storage
  • Consume within one month of opening for optimal flavor and nicotine effect

Imagine sitting at a Roman piazza, enjoying your espresso while discreetly using a coffee-flavored nicotine pouch. No smoke, no smell, just the authentic Italian café experience enhanced with your preferred nicotine delivery method!

If you still have nicotine pouches in stock, make sure to store and keep nicotine pouches fresh the right way.
