Zyn nicotine pouches are all over TikTok, sparking debate among politicians and health experts

Zyn nicotine pouches trending on TikTok have sparked a debate among politicians, health experts, and the public. While some see them as a potential harm reduction tool for smokers, others are concerned about their appeal to underage teens. Advocates argue that Zyn could help adults quit cigarettes, despite its link to Big Tobacco. The FDA is reviewing its risks and benefits. Zyn's discreet nature and various flavors have contributed to its popularity, with growing sales of $1.8 billion. However, research on its effectiveness as a substitute for smoking remains inconclusive. Users tout its convenience and taste, while critics warn of potential health risks, especially for young people.
