  • The oral nicotine product Zyn has skyrocketed in sales and popularity in recent years, shifting the landscape of the U.S. tobacco market. This remarkable growth has thrust Zyn into a culture war, with Sen. Chuck Schumer calling for a federal crackdown on the flavored pouches and Tucker Carlson becoming an unofficial Zyn spokesman.
    WSJ explores what we can learn about Zyn when we test it in a lab and how transformative the product could be for the tobacco industry.

      Thats exactly what I did as well, that being said I got hooked on the vape for a lot longer than I would have liked. The Nicotine gum was the biggest push for me to stop, especially since I got take 4mg, 2mg and 1mg gum and split them all in half to make the jump to a lower mg a lot smoother! Its been about a year since i've touched any tobacco product and for sure enjoy the nicotine free life style much more over being addicted to a expensive, sickness inducing poison that did nothing more than gatekeep my enjoyment/energy for life!

    Hello everyone. I’m in my mid-40’s and have been a smoker for far too long. I was around 12 year’s old when I smoked my first cigarette. ZYN has helped me tremendously with cutting back on smoking. Currently, I’m down to roughly 2-3 cigarettes a day (sometimes none at all.) At the peak of my habit, I was smoking at least a pack a day. Although I haven’t quit smoking completely, I really feel confident that I will eventually be able to with the help of ZYN nicotine pouches. Take care and I hope y’all have a wonderful day!

    Long time Zyn user here that recently quit. I did vape for a year or so then quit. Hopped on Zyn after a couple of years and got hooked pretty badly on them. I only used three a day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with some occasional extras on the weekend if I was feeling it.
    It was and still is very hard to stay off of them. The cravings only recently went away after multiple relapses. While I totally agree that these are amazing for people that smoke or just wanna quit altogether don’t be fooled into thinking these are not addicting as well. It seems easy at first but man, I see people with those and wanna pop one in or I want to buy a can so much. Mint pouches help me stay off but it’s almost a necessity to prevent me from buying a can of Zyn.
    The worst part of it all is I just don’t inherently think it’s bad. But there’s just a deep thought inside that can’t imagine it’s GOOD for you as well long term.
    My advice if you’re a person that has never really messed with nicotine, just stay away. It’s not worth it, the money you waste for a maybe 2 minute buzz just isn’t worth it. Eventually you’ll just get used to it and get like a 5-10 second buzz then you’ll want more and boom, you’re dropping hundreds just to feel something. Lucky for me I limited myself, but I know friends that go through a can a day easily.
    For those folks that smoke/wanna quit. Do these but wind yourself down from 6s to 3s and quit altogether. They’re very easy, helpful, and I think have a positive impact as long as you QUIT. But that’s a lot easier said than done.
    Stay safe out there everyone. Careful with these things. I’m still gonna be strong as best as I can.

    • @BegonGuerra

      Nicotine pouches like Zyn are EXTREMELY addictive, almost to the point where if you use a few packs you might not quit for years.
      The harmfull effects however are potential and marginal at best, apart from gum damage and the cost ofcourse.
      I can understand Schumers view of trying to prevent the next generation from ever having a relationship with nicotine, but id be very surprised if america went for an all-out preventive ban of a product with few proven negative health effects.
      I use about 24 pouches per day and have no plans to ever quit. It has very little effect on my economy so i dont really see a reasom to kick the habit unless new research results are released.

      I used to have a friend who was a huge supporter of tobacco. I thought he was nuts. But as I got older, I realized that he was right. If you're addicted to nicotine, you can use that as a tool to help build positive behavior by rewarding yourself with a Zyn. For example, having a Zyn after a workout will help build a positive correlation in your brain to working out. My point is, with Zyns, you can really help alleviate the downsides of traditional tobacco and use it as a tool as well. Below is an abstract from the National Library of Medicine.
      Beneficial effects of nicotine
      M E Jarvik 1
      Abstract
      Nicotine in tobacco brings illness and death to millions of people. Yet nicotine in its pure form has the potential to be a valuable pharmaceutical agent. Nicotine fairly specifically binds to the cholinergic nicotinic gating site on cationic ion channels in receptors throughout the body. This action stimulates the release of a variety of neurotransmitters including especially catecholamines and serotonin. When chronically taken, nicotine may result in: (1) positive reinforcement, (2) negative reinforcement, (3) reduction of body weight, (4) enhancement of performance, and protection against; (5) Parkinson's disease (6) Tourette's disease (7) Alzheimers disease, (8) ulcerative colitis and (9) sleep apnea. The reliability of these effects varies greatly but justifies the search for more therapeutic applications for this interesting compound.

    Nicotine increases my resting heart rate by 20-30 bpm and takes my blood pressure to its healthy limits. I live an active life and regularly track these things, it’s remarkable how immediate the spike shows on the data. Emotionally, the nicotine numbs the peaks of my emotions, so I’m never really able to feel happiness, sadness etc to the extents that I know I’m capable of - I just feel kinda muted and always thirsty for more nicotine.
    Living with that level of compulsive desire can overlap into some of my other decision making and has given me challenges when trying to use good judgement.
    When quitting nicotine, which I’ve endured maybe a dozen times over the last two decades, I experience 1-2 months of brain fog and tiredness. when I think I’ve finally cut the habit, someone could smoke or vape in front of me and the compulsive desire to ask to partake is still quite strong. I believe fully that once the space for nicotine addiction has been made inside yourself, it never fully heals, so better to just not go there in the first place.

      You’re still at a high risk for stroke and heart attack. Nicotine all by itself is a POTENT vasoconstrictor, meaning it reduces blood supply all over your body following ingestion. Over time, that adds up and will lead to cell death and vaso diseases like heart attack and stroke.

Obviously, nicotine is addictive, but an equal part of the addiction is the habit and the routines we have with it. For example, cigarettes and your morning coffee. After I got rid of my routines, I was able to just stop using Zyn and I've been nicotine free for 5 months now.

When i was doing the 6mg my resting heart rate would be around 30bpm higher than normal. Sometimes, during physical activity, my heart rate would hit 160-170bpm. I knew it wasn’t sustainable. After quitting I’ve had insomnia for the past week but it’s worth knowing i won’t be giving myself a heart disease i could’ve avoided. Better than smoking? Yes. Good to do? No.

    As a finnish person, i quit smoking pretty quickly and easily with the help of nicotine pouches, they hit much better and faster and you often forget that you need nicotine at all since you can do anything and everything while holding it in your upper lip. It doesn’t make you feel the need to go outside to have a smoke which makes it a hard to quit routine in the long run.

    The Zyn you get in Sweden is very different from what is sold in the US.
    Their pouches are moist and burn slightly when you first put one in, and there is also a disposal tray built into the top of the can. When I came back from Stockholm last year and bought Zyn here in the US I thought I had gotten a bad can.

    22, I was doing zyns for a year and a half after vaping for 4 years, i quit a month ago. I do think that they are much better than other forms of tobacco but there are still potential risks involved.
    I was just recently diagnosed with an unrecoverable tooth and had it pulled. I had a traumatic injury to it 8 years ago that required a root canal. I only recently discovered that my tooth was in the later stages of resorption (my body was rejecting it from the inside out and bone mass was decreasing) and the tooth that was effected was the place where my zyn usually went.
    looking back at the x-rays from a year ago it was clear that there was something wrong but resorption is a rare case so the dentist missed it. I do not know if zyns were the cause of my issue but i know that they were not helping my case if anything they were speeding up the process of resorption.

    Nicotine pouches and the derived versions of it have been around in Sweden for a long time. Great alternative to cigarrettes. You get what you actually want (nicotine) without inhaling anything. Lots of Swedish research has been done on tobacco Snus too, not really finding any strong links to the types of diseases that you can develop from smoking. Nicotine itself hasn't been proven harmful either (in normal doses). What is problematic is quite simple, we know that inhaling anything that is not good clean air is bad for you, it's as simple as that. Having this as an alternative for smoking is fantastic and can greatly help reduce the rates of lung cancer and other problematic diseases.

      It gets you off cigs and on to Zyn. It won't help you drop smoking, the nicotine addiction is something you have to overcome through willpower, not hoping another nicotine product will do that for you.
      If anything, it will make your addiction worse, as this is straight up nicotine, that's being advertised as "safer" than cigarettes, which means people will consume way more nicotine through Zyn, like they do through heating tobacco sticks, like Heets and such.
      Zyn is not a solution to anything, it's another product that makes you addicted to it, so that Philip Morris makes money off of you.
      And consuming high doses of nicotine over prolonged periods of time have VERY bad consequences.

    My friends were really into these and I never really got the appeal, my problem with nicotine addiction is I also just love the sensation of smoking. I'm currently 3 months clean off all nicotine and smoking anything but I'm definitely still addicted and a few slip ups could get me back to near daily use.
    I mean it's probably better than cigs or vapes? When I started vaping non-socially (i.e personal use, not just with friends), I started getting chest tightness and aches even though I wasn't really coughing and decided I really have to fight this. I've been smoking on and off since 13, but getting off vaping at 24 was the first time I actually dealt with addiction withdrawal from nicotine for 3+ weeks until it calmed down.
    Nicotine is just dangerous, I don't fully regret it but I definitely got burnt playing with fire and I'll have to deal with whatever issues come from it and the forever mental battle of addiction. Just like alcohol and some of the food they let us have - just bc it's legal doesn't mean it's good for you.
    I'll add to anyone on the fence - it definitely is noticeable to be off nicotine. Within a month my chest ache/tightness almost completely went away and my mood and energy levels are generally improved. It almost feels like shedding a very thin lair of skin and being a slightly better version of yourself once the major cravings and symptoms go away. It's worth the fight. My life's not magically better and I still deal with cravings sometimes and tough decisions to say no bc my friends still smoke - but it's not making things worse.

It may be habit forming in the way that coffee is habit forming and I'm sure there is the rare individual with some sort of problem with it but I am very sure that going without marijuana doesn't do anything near what going without nicotine did to me every time I tried to quit. Nicotine makes your body physically dependent on it. I don't think that marijuana, mushrooms, LSD, psychedelics in general create physical dependency.
