The Last Trick of Big Tobacco: What You Are Really Supporting When You Use Zyn
Big Tobacco made its fortune on cigarettes. Marlboro, Camel, Newport. These brands built entire empires on addiction. That era is over. Public health awareness, lawsuits, and taxes gutted the profits. Cigarettes do not bring in what they once did.
Now they have a new cash cow: nicotine pouches like Zyn. They are cheap to produce, free from the taxes and restrictions that hit cigarettes, and engineered to be just as addictive. They are sold as sleek, clean, and socially acceptable. No smoke. No smell. No shame. The truth is nothing has changed. The business model is still addiction dressed up in modern packaging.
When you buy Zyn, you are not choosing progress. You are funding the survival of corporations that hid the truth about cancer for decades. You are keeping alive an industry that profits when you cannot quit.
Physically, nicotine dependence taxes your heart, disrupts your natural dopamine cycles, and ties your focus to a chemical. Mentally, it convinces you that you cannot feel steady or capable without it. On a cultural level, every sale tells Big Tobacco their strategy still works.
There is another way forward. CBD does not trap you in a cycle. It works with the body you were born with, helping you find balance without stealing your autonomy. When you choose something that honors your biology, you take power back.
The question is not if Zyn works. The question is what kind of future you want to keep alive.
