NEAFS – Menthol Regular 8mg

No fruit and no sweet twist: NEAFS Menthol 8mg is the brand’s plain menthol at its lightest dose, in a slim pouch with 25 to the can. Plenty of shoppers call this kind of product menthol snus, although there is no tobacco in it. NEAFS prints Regular on the lid, with two of four drops filled.

What goes into a NEAFS Menthol 8mg pouch

Retail listings give four ingredients for the NEAFS range: cellulose, water, flavouring and nicotine salt. Cellulose is the plant-based filler that gives the pouch its body, and the water is there for moisture. Nicotine salt is the form the nicotine takes, and the flavouring supplies the menthol.

Against another 8mg menthol slim

Stockholm White Arctic Menthol Strong 8mg matches the dose but spreads it through a larger pouch, at 11mg per gram and 20 per can. NEAFS concentrates the same 8mg into about 0.6g, at 13.3mg per gram, and adds five extra pouches to the can. If you like a fuller pouch under the lip, the Stockholm White is worth a look; for a smaller one, stay here.

How the slim pouch sits

At around 0.6g each, these slims are narrow and flat enough to sit discreetly under the top lip. The can credits the pouch to what NEAFS calls ComfortFit pillow technology, its own term for the pillow-shaped design. If you are moving from a larger 0.7g or 0.8g pouch, expect this one to feel noticeably smaller. The same slim size is used for all three Menthol strengths, so only the nicotine changes as you step up.
