The Real Smokescreen is Nicotine Disinformation
The American Lung Association raises concerns about Zyn, claiming it targets youth. Nicotine pouches have similar safety to FDA-approved products, and concerns about youth using tobacco are valid. The ALA prioritizes abstinence but hinder efforts for lower-risk nicotine options. Adult consumers should be educated on tobacco risks. The ALA aims for a tobacco-free future, neglecting harm reduction tools. Restrictions on oral nicotine products for youth lack evidence. The ALA should focus on solutions to help smokers quit. Substance prohibition rarely succeeds. Discussions should center on harm reduction and informed choices for consumers.
