What is Zyn? Explaining the nicotine pouches following Baker Mayfield 'MNF' controversy

Controversy arose after Baker Mayfield was seen allegedly using Zyn nicotine pouches during a football game. Zyn, introduced in 2014 by Swedish Match, is gaining popularity but raises concerns due to its addictive nature and health impacts, especially on youth. Swedish Match released a statement emphasizing age restrictions. The product, containing nicotine powder and various additives, warns of addictive properties and health risks. Despite being smoke-free, Zyn carries risks like other nicotine products and has raised safety concerns, leading Senate Leader Schumer to call for stricter regulations. The rise in popularity of nicotine pouches has experts worried about potential health issues, particularly among young users.
