In an article with Yahoo LIfe, Dr. Michael Ong discusses Zyn nicotine pouches:
So what exactly is Zyn?
It's a form of smokeless nicotine. "Zyn is an oral nicotine pouch that is similar to oral smokeless tobacco products but does not contain tobacco leaf," Dr. Michael Ong, professor in residence of Medicine and Health Policy and Management at UCLA, tells Yahoo Life. "Snuff differs from Zyn in that it contains tobacco leaf."
