Why the American Lung Association’s Anti-Zyn Campaign Risks Harming Public Health Efforts

Youth use of oral nicotine products is rising slightly but remains low compared to e-cigarettes. Public health campaigns against products like Zyn are criticized for potentially limiting safer alternatives for smokers and focusing on minor issues. Despite concerns about youth use, oral nicotine products like Zyn are less harmful than combustible cigarettes and could reduce smoking rates. The focus should be on harm reduction rather than alarmist campaigns. Data shows the effectiveness of harm reduction products like snus in lowering smoking rates. The American Lung Association's stance against oral nicotine products contradicts harm reduction science.
