Republicans are railing against Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) over a warning about young people getting addicted to Zyn nicotine pouches.
New York news outlets covered Schumer at a news conference arguing that Zyn should not be marketed toward children, calling for a federal crackdown on the product, and telling of “Zynfluencers” who make the colorful nicotine pouches part of their online personalities.
“It’s a pouch packed with problems — high levels of nicotine,” Schumer said. “Today, I’m delivering a warning to parents, because these nicotine pouches seem to lock their sights on young kids — teenagers, and even lower — and then use the social media to hook ’em.”
Chuck Schumer is calling for federal action to crack down on Zyn.
The 73-year-old Democrat describes the popular nicotine pouches as a “pouch full of problems.”
