ZYN, Snus, and the “Productive Addict” Era (Nicotine Pouches, FDA, and the Soft Trap)

ZYN, Snus, and the “Productive Addict” Era (Nicotine Pouches, FDA, and the Soft Trap)

Remember ZYN and nicotine pouches? Today we talk about what they actually are, why they blew up, and how much of the “this helps you quit” story is real vs cope.

We hit: how pouches work, why quitting nicotine is brutal, Big Tobacco’s pivot, the Master Settlement Agreement, FDA authorization for ZYN products, and why “quiet addiction” is still addiction. Then I give the clean, workable path if you’re trying to get off nicotine for real.
