In this episode of ListenPRN, Amy and Belmina dive into the world of ZYN nicotine pouches and the growing trend of "smoke-free" products. They explore how Big Tobacco, led by Philip Morris International, is repackaging addiction with sleek marketing, trendy flavors, and a “tobacco-free” pitch. From the explosive rise of ZYN sales to the health risks lurking behind the scenes, the hosts break down what makes these nicotine pouches so appealing—and so concerning. Tune in for a mix of laughs, facts, and an honest conversation about harm reduction, youth marketing, and whether Big Tobacco has really changed its ways.
