Pop N Smoke is a slim cigarette with a flavour bead built into the filter. Smoke it as it is and you get plain tobacco. Squeeze the filter to break the bead and you get the flavour on every drag after that.
Below is how the capsule works, the flavours we carry, how many cigarettes come in a carton, and the price.
How to use Pop N Smoke cigarettes
Inside each filter is a small bead of flavour liquid, a few millimetres across. Using it takes one step:
- Light the cigarette and smoke it as normal for straight tobacco.
- When you want the flavour, pinch the filter between your fingers and squeeze until you feel it pop.
- Keep smoking. The smoke now passes through the flavour on its way out of the filter.
You can pop it before you light up or halfway through. The timing is up to you.
The flavours we carry
We stock four Pop N Smoke flavours, all sold by the carton.
| Flavour | Pack colour | What it tastes like |
|---|---|---|
| Grape | Purple | Dark, rich and sweet |
| Apple Mint | Green | Sour apple up front with a cool mint finish |
| Cherry | Red | Sweet cherry, with the tobacco still coming through |
| Orange | Orange | Sharp citrus that cuts through the smoke |
The brand offers other flavours as well. Other sellers list Menthol, Blueberry Mint and Watermelon, which we don’t have at the moment. If you’re after menthol, see our Canadian Menthol carton or our list of the best menthol cigarettes in Canada.
How many cigarettes in a carton
Pop N Smoke comes in smaller packs than most brands. Retailers list each pack as 10 slim cigarettes and each carton as 10 packs, which makes 100 cigarettes a carton. Our guide to how many cigarettes are in a pack covers the usual counts.
Slims are thinner than regular king size cigarettes. Our cigarette size chart compares the formats.
Pop N Smoke price
Every flavour is $49.99 a carton here. At 100 cigarettes a carton, that works out to about 50 cents a cigarette.
| Carton | Price |
|---|---|
| Pop N Smoke Grape | $49.99 |
| Pop N Smoke Apple Mint | $49.99 |
| Pop N Smoke Cherry | $49.99 |
| Pop N Smoke Orange | $49.99 |
Native cartons cost far less than store cartons because they are made on First Nations territory and sold from there without provincial tobacco tax. Sellers say Pop N Smoke is made on First Nations land, though none of them name the maker. Our post on whether native cigarettes are better value explains the price gap.
Where to buy Pop N Smoke
Pop N Smoke is a native brand, sold in native smoke shops and by online sellers. You can order cartons online here and have them shipped anywhere in Canada. Delivery usually takes 3 to 7 business days depending on your province, and you pay by Interac e-Transfer. To check on an order, use our order tracking page.
Nicotine content
We couldn’t find nicotine or tar figures for Pop N Smoke from any seller, so be wary of any exact number you see. The capsule changes the taste, not the danger. Studies of capsule smokers found many describe them as smoother, and some wrongly believe they are less harmful.
Flavoured cigarettes and Canadian law
Federal law has prohibited flavouring additives in cigarettes since 2010, and menthol was added to that list in October 2017. Some provinces are stricter at the point of sale. Nova Scotia and Quebec ban the sale of flavoured tobacco, menthol included. Our post on whether menthol cigarettes are banned in Canada has the full timeline.
Keeping them fresh
Keep cartons sealed and away from heat until you open them. Our tips on how to keep cigarettes fresh cover the rest.
You must be 19 to buy tobacco in most provinces, 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec, and 21 in Prince Edward Island. Smoking is addictive and causes serious disease.
