Looks like cigarette sales are at an all time low

[@JeanieThompson-ll3sn]

Ok I guess I’ll go back to smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day.

[@Korloko]

The Federal government introduced crack. Now they want to lecture us about addiction?😂

[@1plex1]

Okay Ill go back to snorting mdma I guess

[@christianm5271]

If I knew nicotine was going to be addicting😂😂 where did that guy grow up under a rock?😢

[@marioricardo7934]

Brain rot/psy-op social media is even worse for the youth, but they don't seem very concerned about that...

[@Fuxser]

This is hugely popular in Norway and Sweden. I have been using snus/zyn for 10 years and it helped me stop smoking. Its definatly a bad habit but its not like a huge danger for your health tbh. Snus/zyn is a good thing, especially for smokers.

[@rosswatkins2277]

Our govt has killed over 40,000 in gaza. But lets talk about zyn

[@mistervo8185]

Why can't these gen whatever be addicted to something normal like game addiction or corn addiction?

[@TheThepurpelstuff]

First Uncle Sam takes away julu’s & Newport’s now there after are zyn’s!!!

[@joshuamandaglio4125]

Ok i guess ill go back to chain smoking lol.

[@lispendens]

Sounds like an outlier to me, and of course they use him as a way to caution the public.

[@sagetechnology4913]

He had to do 20 a day to get sick? If anything hat's more proof that Zyn isn't anywhere nearly as dangerous as it's made out to be.

[@barcelonachair6487]

In certain countries like the UK and Canada and others they have banned cigarette/vape purchases if you are born after a certain year, so this will phase out smoking in the future and not inflict those already addicted. I think the promotion on tik Tok in these pouches is the tobacco companies way of beating the system. Just a thought.

Straight from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@js6728]

no its fine... it supports the top 0.01% who has quadrillions of blood money

[@k9feces]

The government looking for a reason to tax it more

[@user-vw2vr6ji1o]

That's bull crap um I can't smoke no more and zyn helped me quit and I haven't had no other problems with them I swear everything that helps me quit smoking becomes a problem in this world what ever y'all complain about everything
