🚨BREAKING: After my repeated demands to the FDA, Zyn is now officially #authorized pic.twitter.com/C8IojhuwKU

Zyn is one of the leading causes of joy in America.
They aren’t getting any joy from other people and they sure aren’t getting it from these shitty streaming shows.
If you combine Zyn and Path of Exile 2, that composes over 80% of joy in America.
As far as what the FDA was approving, it’s not really even clear to me. You could already buy Zyn. I guess they were considering whether or not to ban it and they decided not to. Or maybe they were just deciding if it was good or not?
AP:
Federal health officials on Thursday backed the public health benefits of nicotine pouches, authorizing Philip Morris International’s Zyn to help adult smokers cut back or quit cigarettes.
The Food and Drug Administration OK’d 10 Zyn flavors, including coffee, mint and menthol. It’s the first time regulators have authorized sales of nicotine pouches, which are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. tobacco market.
The pouches have been available for more than a decade as FDA reviewed company data intended to show the products can serve as an alternative to cigarettes and other traditional tobacco products. The decision doesn’t mean that Zyn is safe, just less harmful than older alternatives.
To remain on the market, companies generally must show that their products will reduce disease among adult tobacco users without attracting teens and adolescents.
…
For decades, tobacco companies have tried to develop alternative products to replace dwindling sales of cigarettes, as smoking levels in the U.S. and worldwide continue to fall. E-cigarettes became popular more than a decade ago, but faced a backlash after they triggered a multiyear spike in underage vaping.
Who gives a shit?
Why is the government everyone’s mommy?
In recent months, antismoking groups have warned that nicotine pouches could follow a similar path, pointing to videos of young people popping Zyn and other pouches that have racked up millions of views on social media platforms. Following Thursday’s announcement, advocates quickly criticized the FDA for permitting sales of flavors like citrus, peppermint and wintergreen.
…
In late January, Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer, of New York, called on regulators to investigate Zyn, citing its appeal to teens. Several House Republicans then warned constituents that “Big Brother” intended to “ban nicotine.” Tucker Carlson and other conservative commentators are among the public figures who have embraced Zyn.
Tucker Carlson no longer embraces Zyn. Because he is completely obsessed with turning his hundreds of millions of dollars into billions of dollars, he’s launched his own pouch company and is accusing Zyn of being in league with Joe Biden.
Although David Lynch chain-smoked and lived to be 79, cigarette smoking can get hard on your gym routine once you get into your 30s, so I personally support all of these alternatives. I support Zyn even though Tucker Carlson claims they are working with Joe Biden to do woke against the American people.
This stuff with the government being everyone’s mommy has to stop. It’s gay and retarded. If people are so childlike that they will die if the government doesn’t monitor their every move and make all their decisions for them, they should just be allowed to die.
