They be banning everything except cigarettes. LOL

We dont think zyn is harmful so we needa ban it. We know cigarettes are harmful but we ain't gonna ban it. Big brain logic.

Zyn helped me kick a six year smoking habit within a week. And subsequently quitting zyn after kicking that habit was easy. Thanks Zyn 🙏

The thing that is most dangerous to big tobacco is that every one I know who replaced their habit with Zyn, never went back to tobacco. Many of them also found it easier to quit the Zyn after the switch than quitting other tobacco products.

We've had over 100,000 OD deaths from fentanyl and such per year for a while now, but I'm relieved governments are focused on the real issues like flavored Zyn.

I switched from cigarettes to e-cigarettes and then to nicotine gum. Then I slowly stopped the gum. Now I'm tobacco-free over 6 months. Quite happy. These alternatives work.

Any politician wanting this off the market is a MAJOR red flag!🚩

Former smoker. I tried vapes, felt worse for my lungs. Tried nicotine gum, didn’t do the trick. Tried dipping, messed up my gums. Tried cold turkey three times, no luck. Zyn? I have a cig maybe once a year and no cravings and am weening myself off no problem. It’s the best alternative out there trust me from someone who’s tried just about everything.

The fact that anyone may think that these are worse than vapes are crazy

Chuck Schumer went after Zyn because they forgot to send him a campaign check.

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! 😎✌🏻💯

Really enjoy a video that makes me turn my volume up and down with every clip change. Why is it so hard to keep a constant audio level during editing

Zyn helped me quit a 30 year smokeless tobacco habit, in 2 days.

I took a trip to Zynbabwe and never wanted to leave

I love that zyn was the ad before the video lol

Theo Von making an appearance on the WSJ UKposts page isn't what I expected when I woke up today

"Zyn is not a sin" is probably my favorite Zyn catchphrase.

I quit zyn about a week ago. My blood pressure became a concern for myself after using zyn for well over 2 years. If you haven’t tried Chantix and struggle with nicotine withdrawal I would highly recommend getting on that medication. It has severely helped me through the struggles of quitting cold turkey.

As someone who has gone from cigarettes to vapes to chewing tobacco having these the last six years, I have felt so much better. My lungs feel better, my mouth feels better and my energy is even better..

The nicotine pouch discourse is annoying to me. Nicotine chewing gum with fruit flavours was never a problem, why are the pouches? And it's obviously not a lobbying problem from big Tobacco, Philip Morris owns Swedish Match, the largest producer of all things Snus & nicotine pouches and Brittish American Tobacco owns the closest competitor to ZYN, VELO.

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.

We have had these in scandinavia, the nordics and the baltics for SO many years now and its just becoming a trend in USA lol.

Tobacco companies know once a smoker uses smokeless nicotine for awhile they rarely return to smoking. I have vaped for awhile. I now find the smell of burning tobacco repulsive. It stinks. Government needs to sit this one out.

I remember 2 years ago buying zyns and using them frequently and getting made fun of because it’s not “real dip” well it’s 10x more healthy and I haven’t smoked in 2 years. Don’t take away zyns

This is a giant Zyn commercial..😉

Thanks for posting this. Very good article. Thank you.

Imagine being mad people aren’t smoking.

As a Swede with a pouch under my lip, I approve this message

How dare you guys show that clip at 3:15, not only did it make me die of laughter but i feel i already know its going to haunt my dreams

These helped me quit smoking. I smoked over a pack a day for 35 yrs! I love zyn!

took long enough for america to get this, been in scandinavia for a generation

I will never understand why people are so worried about what other people choose to do that is legal. It's usually the people that are threatened by it's success and profitability.

Super positive take! Win. I’ve been off vape for almost a year now since switching to ZYN

Used it a few years ago to stop dipping and then because it has different mg strengths i was able to get off nicotine completely. It actually really helped me quit a bad habit. It saved my gums from a lot of damage too

I smoked cigarettes for almost 15 yrs. This helped me stop smoking.

Zyns helped me quit a 7 year vaping addiction. I hate our government. They want to ban everything that is better for us

They care about your health only when it affects their pockets . Why aren’t they this serious with our food

I switched from tobacco to Zyn for about 6 months. This help put some distance between the "tobacco experience" and myself while still supplying me with the nicotine portion. 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.

Slight clarification: swedes have been using different forms of snus since at least 1822 when "Ettan" was introduced. Ettan was the first commercial product but snus has most likely been around for much longer

I’ve tried to quit smoking for years, and recently I tried Zyn. Now I’ve quit smoking. Thanks to whoever the kid was that went viral telling people he quit vaping with Zyn!

Zynn helped me quit smoking. Smoked for 13 years.

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.

Was a smoker for 25 years, these little pouches helped me quit that habit.

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 stockholders appreciate your cooperation for making this video.

im gonna go buy zyn now. thanks WSJ !

I'm near being at the point where I've smoked for half of my life, and switched to these about a month and a half ago and the improvement I've had breathing has been incredible. Using these have made it easier to quit smoking than vaping has.

I’ve been a non smoker for 1185 days. 26397 cigarettes not smoked. All because I bought a can of zyn on impulse just over three years ago. This switch has saved me around 6,000$ also.

Addicts will always find something to get hooked on.

It's amazing that Chuck Schumer is such a proponent of legalized marijuana but has a problem with this.

Just recently quit Zyns last week.. Been doing Zyns for the past 2 years. As a 26 year old male, it was giving me hypertension. For perspective: i’m athletic, 5’8” and 170lb. 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.

Yupp i got a zyn ad perfect

My dentist had me switch to Zynn over my dip. I did that for a couple of years and quit all together in February 2022. Haven't dipped or Zynned since.

Best zyn commercial I’ve seen so far

I was able to quit smoking because of Zyn. It was very easy to quit Zyn after the conversion, I no longer had to fight the mental addiction and the physical addiction simultaneously.

Nicotine patches have been around for literally decades, how do we not have an research about what nicotine alone does to the body? Obviously the burning and presence of actual tobacco leaves is a huge and known carcinogen. But it seems very odd that there isnt more information about the long term affects

Zyns saved my life I’m not gonna lie vaped heavily for 2 almost 3 years and I started to really feel the effect. I decided to switch over to zyns and I literally have just 1 zyn a day or non I’m about to be completely off nicotine. Zyn is the answer

Nice to see it is spreading. Started doing snus at age 14, (scandinavian). 25 years old now, no chance to stop atm, much easier to quit smoking. But here they cost half price of a pack of cigarettes, and are the much healthier option. Wish I never started though :)

Not including Freezer Tarps in helping grow Zyn is criminal

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.

I think Zyn will help prevent vaping in places such as school as vaping is super bad but an addiction to a nicotine pouch isn't as unhealthy

I’ve been debating buying these and now I definitely will

Actually surprised to see they’ve only recently become popular in the US. You won’t find a lot of teens who haven’t tried pouches in Denmark

imagine your parents see a clip of you consuming nic packets on a wsj video for social media attention

Many of my friends have stopped smoking and started using Zyn or product similar to zyn

Doesn't cause cancer, is a new rework of an old product that doesn't cause cancer, has helped me and all my buddies quit vaping/smoking, they're fairly cheap, and they're very easy to quit compaired to vapes and ciggies. Don't hate Zyn, hate vapes and ciggies.

How fkn wierd is that dude singing with dip pouches in his mouth. People are literally sheep. They do anything their friends do or want to do.

As someone with asthma who get awful asthma attacks from being exposed to cigarette smoke, I say please use snus and Zyn. Or really, anything that isn't cigarettes. At least here in Sweden, not that many smokes. It's better for everyone!

Zyn helped me quit vaping and helped not take a smoke break anymore at work.

Crazy how they didn’t really say there’s a difference between zyn and snus, which is tobacco

I have never heard of zyn but now I want to try it

Apparently our Troops LIVE on this stuff when In The Field

Its easy for them to ban these products at the behest of big tobacco when the user base is still small but growing at an alarming rate for cigarette profits and they can easily vilify nicotine users. Happened with vapes in NY, everyone agreed the ban was stupid but happened anyway, will happen again with zyn

"many people see it as a threat" no man more like 4 companies.

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.

Ritalin is way better than Zyn.

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.

Thanks gonna try it!

As a Scandinavian, I've been using Nicotine pouches daily, for YEARS. Can't say I've had any health issues as of yet.

I have stage 4 COPD at 36 years old and switching to Zyn has saved my life. If you want to know if it's good or bad just ask me im living proof that Zyn is a great product. I don't care who if Tucker is using them or the dahli lama it is keeping me from losing years with my family.

bro i took one of these once, almost puked, had to stare at the ground for an hour just to stop the room from spinning. went to bed immediately after.

It helped me to quit smoking!! i still use it!!!

If it gets you off ciggs it must be good .

Zyn is the perfect product. Helps you focus, makes you more eloquent. And doesn't cause cancer. Powerful!

I was able to quit smoking pretty easily using these, feel so much better. Was a pack or more day smoker for years

Man said …OH IT WORKS like it was his first time lol😂

Snus helped me quit smoking, its not healthy. BUT but. It's way safer then smoking. Snus is one of those things i love and appreciate. I couldn't say the same about ciggarettes

"we don't know the long term effects of nicotine" Really we don't? its been in cigarettes forever. Tell me you work for big tobacco without telling me you work for big tobacco.

2:00 bruh is that Windows VISTA

I was dipping every day since I was 15 and was finally able to quit after 11 years by switching to zyn in December. I’m still addicted to nicotine but I’m not in danger of losing my jaw or dying from cancer. At this point it’s almost on the same level as a caffeine addiction.

Zyn is the only product that I’ve seen consistently work to help people quit smoking/vaping. Because the nicotine is ingested rather than inhale, it doesn’t increase addiction and over time can decrease it - this is backed by tons of research for nicotine gum.

zyns helped me quit vaping after 7 years and now i’m leaning off of the zyns too! they’ve been a great thing

I don’t consume anything nicotine related, but if this helps people quit vaping and smoking, I fully support it. It doesn’t smell bad, there is no smoke, absolutely nothing that would bother anyone around the person using it.

I love the added red accents to the thumbnail to subconsciously gather more clicks lol

Every addictive item whether it be marijuana or alcohol, has a safe and socially acceptable alternative for people trying to quit. Except for Cigarettes. Every tobacco alternative has received massive backlash from political groups and the government. The attitude seems to be we hate smoking, but we're not willing to tolerate a compromise that would solve so many problems. It's Cold Turkey or Nothing.

I can’t believe they are just now making a breakdown of this 😂 I have been using zyn pouches since 2015 around 2019 seems like they blew up!

Thanks I didn't know about the stuff until you did an article about it now I want to try it

I quit smoking with vaping, vaping with zyn, if zyn go I’m gonna quit everything all together

I crazy how many people went straight to the comments without actually watching the video 😂
