A new flavored nicotine product is increasing in popularity – oral nicotine pouches and lozenges.
This product is placed between the cheek and gum. They do not contain tobacco, but they do contain nicotine, flavorings, sweeteners and plant-based fibers. Some popular brand names include Zyn, On! and Velo, and they come in colorful packaging that looks like mint containers.
Although advertising may make it look convenient and appealing, it’s important to know that these products deliver varying amounts of the addictive chemical nicotine, which can negatively impact your learning, attention span and proneness to addiction.
