Dr. Joe Nemeth on ZYN: An Insightful Review

Hi, I'm Dr. Joe Nemeth, a periodontist in Southfield, Michigan. Have you heard about this product called ZYN? It’s a smokeless nicotine product—not tobacco—but it does contain nicotine salts. I want to discuss the potential benefits and risks associated with ZYN.

Product Overview

  • Strengths: Available in two strengths: 3 mg and 6 mg.
  • Popularity: It appears to be very popular among users, especially younger individuals.

Personal Experience

I tried a 3 mg pouch yesterday and felt like a Lozenge for about half an hour. The effect was extremely strong for me. However, many younger users report feeling sharper and more aware after using it, finding it preferable to nicotine gum. It works more effectively and faster.

Usage and Risks

  • Application: You place the pouch between your lip and gum.
  • Irritation: If used in the same spot repeatedly, it can irritate gum tissue. I've seen cases where tobacco use in similar ways led to mouth cancer. While I’m not saying that will happen with ZYN, consistent use in the same location could cause irritation and be harmful to tissue.

Addictive Potential

ZYN can be habit-forming and addictive, posing risks especially for those prone to addiction. The nicotine is absorbed quickly, going directly into the bloodstream from the gum tissue, leading to fast-acting effects.

Comparison to Other Products

  • Safer than Smoking: It’s better than smoking since you’re not inhaling vapors.
  • Better than Vaping: Similarly, it’s also better than vaping for the same reason.

Concerns About Gum Health

  • Gum Recession: Using ZYN in the same spot could irritate tissue and potentially lead to gum recession, which can cause bone recession—a negative outcome.
  • Gum Disease: Someone asked if it contributes to gum disease. I don’t believe it does, as I haven’t seen evidence of that.

Conclusion

While I choose not to use ZYN, many people are, and its popularity is growing. Make sure your mouth is healthy—if it’s not, you shouldn’t be using it.
