The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday cleared Philip Morris-owned Zyn nicotine pouches to be marketed as less harmful than cigarettes, giving the tobacco giant a major regulatory win as the Trump administration loosens restrictions on nicotine products.
The decision, first reported by Axios, allows 20 Zyn products to carry a modified-risk claim saying that switching from cigarettes to Zyn lowers the risk of mouth cancer, heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Zyn pouches contain nicotine but not tobacco. They are placed between a user’s gum and lip and have surged in popularity among conservatives, tech workers and others who promote them as a cleaner alternative to cigarettes and chewing tobacco or a productivity aid.
Why? Is smoking woke now?
God I wish more of them would. All my conservative friends dip. That shit is nasty. Like not just the flavor and the habit itself but the damn spit cup and them thinking they’re being discrete pushing it down a clear straw into a silver bullet.
I smoked as a young adult. And then vapes. And now pouches (which I order online because my state bans flavors and charges twice as much).
I wouldn’t recommend nicotine to anybody, but IMO pouches are by far the best delivery mechanism.
Sucking on things in general is considered gay by many it seems.
