Fact Check: Evaluating Claims About Zen Nicotine Pouches

Zin is not a Sim first Zin going in second Zin third Zin you may have heard of Zin lately it's an increasingly

popular nicotine pouch Z influencers are getting online to sing its Praises all across Tik Tok upper necky Z upper necky

Li pillows fourth one more Zen is like the hand of God reaching down and massaging your central

nervous system hey guys this Dr David Abasi and I'm an orthopedic surgeon who's going to

be talking about Zen nicotine pouches why why is an orthopedic surgeon talk about nicotine pouches because as a

doctor patients are always asking me hey Doc how do I quit smoking and so this may be a solution that may be worth

diving into today not only that but if you undergo an orthopedic surgery we know that if you're a smoker you have a

much higher risk of complications such as delayed or failure of bones to heal uh wound complications higher risks of

infection so it's definitely worth a deep dive on this product to see if it's something that we would

recommend so Zen Nick pouches are actually smokefree tobacc free pouches designed to be placed in your gums and

live for absorptions similar to like dip they actually come in a variety of flavors and strengths that one can

choose from just think about it as like a different delivery system of getting nicotine so previously you know nicotine

is a natural product in tobacco plants and usually you would have to get your nicotine by smoking cigarettes or

chewing tobacco unfortunately that can lead to complications such as like Cancers and stuff of the mouth you know

of the lungs these nicotine pouches however can be delivered without the tobacco so you're

just getting straight up nicotine without the smoke and with potentially without the risk of some of these very

bad cancers so this Zin brand is manufactured by a Stockholm based company called Swedish match so before

the Zen they had offered a product called snoo which was essentially another tobacco pouch that contained the

nicotine but again now we're having that problem of it's being delivered with tobacco the tobacco can lead to cancers

of the mouth or the lungs depending on the way that it's delivered so the advantage of something like Zen is

basically it's nicotine being delivered without the tobacco so it's really kind of cleaning up the market as an

alternative because we can deliver the nicotine now without the tobacco which can lead to these cancers so people

still like to consume nicotine because it gives them that mood enhancement or that stimulant feel that they might get

by using cigarettes or chewing dip it could be potentially an alternative for people that are having trouble smoking

that still need that nicotine kick remember smokers are craving the nicotine not so much the tobacco so this

would be a way to deliver it one way you can still get your nicotine kick without the tobacco products so as of right now

with the current data that we have we don't have long-term data like we do with cigarettes and smoking so we can't

ultimately say that it's necessarily a safe product but for what the research is showing it does look like it's

probably a better alternative to tobacco products like smoking or dip for getting your nicotine so again obviously the

active ingredient is in is the nicotine that is what people are craving nicotine is considered a stimulant it is a drug

um it is addictive and it can cause if it's taken in too high quantities increase in your blood pressure increase

in your heart rate so like any drug we don't want to consume too much so I'm not necessarily saying that I recommend

this however it does potentially seem to be a better alternative than ingesting it with like these tobacco products

right now now there's a lot of talk from people looking to regulate or even outright bands in for its potential

harmful effects well I think that's very interesting because where are these same people when it comes to Banning

cigarettes we know those cause cancers and ruin lives where are you guys why would all of these regulations becoming

for competitors of cigarettes and smoking but not cigarettes and smoking themselves h i wonder so to wrap this up

guys I am not recommending that people start taking Zen or these nicotine pouches however if you are a smoker this

may may be potentially an alternative to getting your nicotine kick without some of the harmful effects of the tobacco

that can cause cancers and ruin lives always remember to consult your own doctor to see if it's a healthy option

for you and I hope you guys enjoyed this video found it helpful if you guys did make sure you guys subscribe to the
