Examples

“If you are scratching your head, don’t feel⟳ bad: Almost no adult I have⟳ spoken to has had any idea either. This is despite the fact that the nicotine pouch Zyn is a jewel in the crown of a multibillion-dollar tobacco company. Haven’t heard of nicotine pouches to begin⟳ with? Neither had I. But when I ask⟳ my 19-year-old neighbor Ian if he knows what a Zynbabwe is, I get⟳ a shocked reply⟳: “You know⟳ about Zyns?””

“Zyns are filled with nicotine and are meant to be placed under your lip like⟳ tobacco dip. No spitting is required, so nicotine pouches are even less visible than vaping. Zyns come⟳ in two strengths in the United States, three and six milligrams. A single six-milligram pouch is a dose so high that first-time users on TikTok have⟳ said it caused them to vomit or pass⟳ out. And while Zyns are presented as a healthier, smoke-free alternative to cigarettes, they are still addictive, according to Robert Jackler, a professor emeritus at the Stanford University School of Medicine who has studied nicotine industry marketing.”
