On Call with Dr. Kumar: What to know about Zyn

Zyn is an increasingly popular nicotine pouch brand with an enthusiastic following. But the negative effects on health are growing even faster.

They aren’t marketing to kids. 🤦‍♂️ we sell all flavors of alcohol with no problem. I even saw a hard Mountain Dew.😂 it’s just the simple fact, kids drink and smoke under age. This is not a new phenomenon. I did, your parents probably did, you most likely did. 😂

I certainly did. First party(not my first drink) was the summer between 8th-9th grade. Got hammered shotgunning beers. Now at 32, I don’t drink but on extremely special occasions.

[@kendellfriend5558]

Big tobacco can’t get their cut. Yet we won’t ban cigarettes. They went after Juul too-although it is addicting, the same argument can be made about cigarettes.

[@jameswilson8907]

Why do they always insist on attacking alternatives to cigarettes? Chuck Schumer has never had a good take.

[@XWierdThingsHappenX]

I don’t know maybe because nicotine is really bad for you.

[@jameswilson8907]

@@XWierdThingsHappenX nicotine by itself may have negative health effects but is not a carcinogen. if they really cared about people's health the regulations around cigarettes and chewing tobacco would be much stricter and there would be a push towards synthetic nicotine products such as Zyns as a stepping stone to quitting. Going after Zyns and vapes while leaving cigarettes alone is like suing a Suboxone clinic but ignoring the heroine dealer in the alley next door.

they didn't pay them enough

100% correct. they never talk about this fact. even worse, they shut you down if you bring it up. they profited billions from the vaccine by lying about its safety, then forced it upon people.

[@therealamon]

safer than cigarettes dont believe anyone but it surely is addictive

[@NightShiftpoddy]

This has been in sweden since 2016 and the actual pouches are called snus which has actual tobacco which in multiple studies have shown that they do damage but significantly less

[@therealamon]

@@NightShiftpoddy maybe damage to your mouth im aware swedes got rapè snuss and all that put tons of pouches in their mouths but still in the end safer than smoking

[@rhards]

@@NightShiftpoddy as far as damage goes it can alter mouth bacteria. And I believe high doses of nicotine can cause vascular issues. I believe it from expereince as I felt terrible when I was addicted to higher amounts of nicotine. Scaling back helped a lot.

All they do is talk down on new innovations to quite smoking. Why can’t we come together as a community and make a healthier alternative that can save lives!! Instead of talking about how it’s still bad, let’s talk about what we can do to make it better!

It absolutely destroys your heart in the long run, I can attest to that. It's horribles for blood pressure, Endothelial function and overall vascular health. Potentially worse for the heart than smoking because of how much you use and the dosage. Avg BPM has been 20-30 higher than no zyn....and gums are destroyed

[@NEMOZAZA]

Sounds like someone has there hand in the tobacco market lol

[@falax8776]

Similar products have been around in sweden for AGES but with tobacco and its called "snus" and we have had vitt snus or white snus for a few years too and its obviously quite adictive but its safer than cigarettes, regular snus and vaping. Main problem is addiction.

[@burplemantis]

Bro we get it. You watch outlaw.

[@Tadpole31]

Well im not coughing up blood anymore so ill take the zyn. Vapes and soda beer is what you have to worry about with kids .

[@Michael-rx2hv]

Zyn offers up to 6mg of Nicotine per pouch, that's like the lowest end of the nicotine found in cigarettes. I wouldn't describe those levels as 'high'... lying to the American people once again

How many deaths have there been?

We have enough long term data to know main stream media is propaganda. Anyone who was addicted to cigarettes knows flavored vaping and nicotine pouches help you quit. I quit cigarettes with vaping, then quit vaping with pouches. If they weren't flavored id still be smoking cigarettes.

why dont they say nicotine is just like that horrible caffein lol. symptoms sound the same to me. oh wait caffein is a protected stimulant lol

[@michaelv1875]

But is it good for quiting smoking?

I’m gonna try this tomorrow!!!

[@jubi9011]

used nicotine pouches for more than 6 years, its safer than cigarettes at least, now imagine if I smoked for 6 years instead. nicotine pouches are meant to be an alternative, however it is more addictive yet not much bad for me.

[@IslamOzbek-j6q]

Nicotine pouches for 6 years? Have you eny issues on u r gums bro???

[@cronsabout]

You can't buy them unless above legal age... Just like cigarettes and alcohol. They have no problem hooking new generations onto sweeteners, sugar, salt, alcohol, smoking, vaping...

I stopped smoking using ZYN it works!!!! I have smoked many years and Nothing ever worked before!!! Much better than a patch!!! I used 3MG and one pouch a day is all it takes, but I did take it out and put it in foil when I felt like I needed a cig. I put it back in, I would not leave it in my mouth all day!!! use like you would a cigarette! IT WORKS BUT BE SMART!

I am Russian, we have gov with primiry woman population and oldee women have really big role in politics cause they vote often. I mean man usually less involved in politics So its move to a lot healt care restrictions, cause it good for politics. Becouse this woman will chose politics which could take care of their sons and grandsons. But fuck, prohibition its not regulation. Dont trust politics, if u apply restrictions its create black market where no control If government restrict something, its awful. Even kill are legal in some cases like self defence or defence of somebody or at war. If every goverment will be racional, they should control, but dont restrict all. Need make age, time (time than u can buy it, place whre u can buy it). Like they so it with regular cigs and alcohol We dont live in perfect world where people dont do shit and dont hse shit, its always been this. I mean if u accept with cigs and alcohol - need extrapolate this policy to other. I dont mean what need give absolutely free, but if regular guys do something which hurt only him - why we should restrict it and send him to jail? I know in your cities exist a lot of homeless people, but my though its not give them ability to continue their shit. Its could be fix if government take care of them, make program of reabilitation like gave them a house of the bump and job. It will be more cost effective than give them wellfare and ability to sleep on streets and poop everywhere. If u took all money which was spend only just on ukraine, it will be enough to give them what i mentioned upper.

[@buddyrichrp]

Zyn is a Swedish brand and I'm pretty sure doctors and dentists in Sweden have a different view on Zyn. Swedish women use zyn on the daily basis which I find interesting.

[@getlostlser]

Safe and safer are too different things. There are benifits to nicotine, and obvious cons. Like everything. But at least these limit the lung cancer part.

[@JohnBlaze-e3p]

Bro Lucy is a worse brand bc they market flavors that aren’t mint or cinnamon

[@wesleychapman8842]

Does it have to do with taxes there mad

[@akaredcrossbow]

I don’t want my child to do any of it. But I would rather my child use the pouches instead of smoking. Smoking is a killer, it’s the smoke and all the other poisons that are in them. Smoking gave me a heart attack. I was told by multiple doctors that it was the reason. I was also told by multiple doctor’s to help quit smoking, use nicotine patches, gum and even pouches to cut down and eventually stop the nicotine cravings.

I started smoking and chewing at 11yo. Pills, patches and gum never helped. Vaping took me off cigarettes and Copenhagen at 38yo and now with Zyn I’m off vaping 2 weeks now.
