00:02U.S. officials authorized Zinn to market itself as less harmful than traditional cigarettes,
00:08making it the first nicotine pouch to receive that distinction, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:13The FDA said,
00:1520 Zinn nicotine pouches can state that switching from cigarettes to the pouches
00:19lowers the risk of mouth cancer, stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, emphysema, and chronic
00:26bronchitis. Zinn is made by Swedish Match USA, which is owned by Philip Morris International.
00:33The tobacco-free pouches were granted permission to stay on the market in early 2025.
00:37Philip Morris said the decision gives legal-age nicotine consumers access to FDA-authorized
00:43information. Zinn has become an important revenue driver for Philip Morris, though shipments fell
00:49roughly 24% in the most recent quarter. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
