What is Zyn and what are oral nicotine pouches?
With concerns over youth e-cigarette use (1.63 million middle and high school students in 2024), flavored nicotine pouches have also become increasingly popular. As cigarette smoking declines, tobacco companies are focusing on "smokeless" products like oral nicotine pouches, often placed between the lip and gum. Unlike snus, these pouches contain nicotine powder instead of tobacco leaf, which prevents the FDA from classifying them as smokeless tobacco products. Brands like Zyn, On!, and Velo are now the second most popular nicotine products among students.
