Strengths ran from 3mg to 17mg, and prices from £2.99 to £6.50 a can. What you can actually buy depends on your local store.

What Tesco stocks
Here is what Tesco's grocery website listed when we searched for nicotine pouches on 23 October 2026:
| Brand | Products listed | Strengths | Price per can |
|---|---|---|---|
| VELO | 10 | 6mg to 17mg | £5.00 to £6.50 |
| Nordic Spirit | 9 | 6mg to 17mg | £4.50 to £6.50 |
| ZYN | 4 | 3mg to 16.5mg | £5.00 to £6.50 |
| FUMI | 3 | 8mg to 15mg | £5.00 |
| Zone | 2 | 11mg to 17mg | £2.99 |
| Total | 28 | 3mg to 17mg | £2.99 to £6.50 |
Most of the range is mint, with a few fruit flavours such as berries, blackcurrant and tropical. Most cans hold 20 pouches. Prices and ranges change often, and not every store carries every product, so treat this as a snapshot.
Two of these brands are also in our range: browse every VELO nicotine pouch and ZYN nicotine pouch we stock, or read why VELO remains the go-to pouch for so many UK adults and why ZYN is the one people recommend first.
What you won't usually find at Tesco
- Strong and extreme strengths. The strongest pouch Tesco listed was 17mg. If you use stronger pouches, see our strong 17-50mg and extreme 51-150mg ranges.
- Specialist brands. Brands such as PABLO, CUBA, KILLA and ICEBERG are rarely found on supermarket shelves.
- Unusual flavours. Cola, dessert, coffee and drink-style flavours are mostly sold online.
- Very light strengths. Under 3mg is hard to find in store. Our 0-6mg light nicotine pouches go down to 1.5mg.
- Multi-can deals. Supermarkets sell single cans. Online you can find bundles and £1.99 cans.
Other supermarkets and local shops
Other big supermarkets, convenience stores, newsagents and petrol stations also sell nicotine pouches, usually from the same few big brands. Ranges are similar: mostly mint, mostly up to about 17mg, sold one can at a time from behind the counter. If you need a can today, a local shop is the quickest option. If you want a particular brand or strength, it is worth phoning ahead or ordering online.
Tesco vs an online specialist
| Tesco | Online at Snus O'Clock | |
|---|---|---|
| Brands | 5 brands listed online | Dozens of brands |
| Strengths | 3mg to 17mg | 1.5mg up to extreme strengths |
| Flavours | Mostly mint, some fruit | Mint, fruit, cola, dessert, coffee and more |
| Price per can | £2.99 to £6.50 (when checked) | Most VELO and ZYN cans £4.99, plus a £1.99 range |
| Multi-can deals | Single cans | Bundles and bulk deals |
| When you get it | Today, if in stock | Next day if ordered before 12 noon |
| Strength info | On the can | mg per pouch explained on product pages |
Many people do both: pick up a can at the supermarket when they run out, and order their regular cans online. Our guide to why more people order nicotine pouches online explains why.
How to choose a supermarket pouch
- Check mg per pouch. Strength labels vary between brands. Our mg per pouch guide explains how to read them.
- Mini or slim? Mini pouches are smaller and more discreet; standard slim pouches are a little larger.
- New to pouches? Start light. See the best strength for beginners.
- Compare the price per can. Single cans in shops often cost more than multi-can deals online.
The law: 18+ from 29 October 2026
From 29 October 2026 it is illegal to sell nicotine pouches to anyone under 18, in supermarkets and online. Expect to be asked for ID at the till. Read more in our guide to the nicotine pouch age limit and the 29 October 2026 changes.
