OPINION: "Zyn, an orally taken ni****ne pouch, has surged in popularity in recent years, being marketed as a sleek and modern alternative to smoking and va**ng. Advertised as a tobacco-free, safer alternative to other forms of ni****ne, it comes in flavors like “Citrus” and “Cool Mint.” Aside from all the advertising and branding is the reality of the situation: Zyn is making ni****ne addiction normal, targeting younger people, and understating the health risks of consuming their product." - Faisal Al Rashid, Cohasset High School Student
