Doctors warn about dangers of using Zyn, your favorite celeb's favorite nicotine READ MORE: Dieters say Zyn acts like weight loss drug helping them drop 30lbs By MAIYA FOCHT HEALTH REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 18:29 GMT, 24 November 2024 | Updated: 18:29 GMT, 24 November 2024 e-mail View comments People fill fridges with it, stack it four feet tall and even sleep with it in their mouth. It's the internet's newest obsession: Zyn. Sold in small pouches, Zyn is the brand name for a synthetic nicotine product that's dominating the market . It is similar to chewing tobacco, though it doesn't contain tobacco, in that users place it between their lips and gums to get a nicotine fix and light high. The product is sold as a way to get people off tobacco, but a new generation of users are skipping the middle man and diving straight into Zyn - and quickly becoming addicted. According to the American Lung Association, there has been a 641 percent increase in sales of nicotine pouches of all brands between 2019 and 2022 - a trend which shows an 'alarming rate of youth use.' Earlier this year Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer issued a warning against the products, claiming Zyn is marketed to teenagers through social media, getting kids hooked young - similar to what vapes and e-cigarettes have been accused of. However, no matter a person's age, the products come with risks, including tooth decay, heart problems and addiction. And Dr Stacy Sylvie, an internist and preventative medicine physician based in Alabama told DailyMail.com Zyn's are not FDA approved, which means they may contain 'contaminants or unsafe additives.' Zyns contain a crystallized nicotine powder, which when placed in the mouth, gets absorbed into the blood stream Tucker Carlson used to be an enthusiastic promoter of Zyn nicotine pouches. He is seen with one at the Republican National Convention in July Your browser does not support iframes. While there are many different brands of nicotine pouches, Zyn is among the most popular and is often seen in the hands of celebrities. Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson said in October 2022 that he enjoyed Zyn and the product could work as a 'male enhancer,' though there is no evidence of this. Carlson has since said this comment was a joke. Read More Fans claim NFL quarterback was caught taking a ZYN during a game He has now publicly come out against the company and started his own brand of nicotine pouches called Alp. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was reprimanded by the NFL for putting a Zyn in his mouth while on the sidelines of a game. Actor Josh Brolin has shared he's so addicted to an unspecified brand of nicotine pouches he sleeps with them in his mouth. Zyn is sold at gas stations, convenience stores and smoke shops around the country - in most places one could find tobacco products. A pack of 15 pouches sells for around $5, though the price varies based on location and vendor. According to their website, you must be at least 21 years old to purchase Zyn. The company said: 'We take the issue of underage usage extremely seriously, which is why we require all new visitors to go through a strict age verification process before entering our website. If you do not currently use nicotine, ZYN is not for you.' Online, users share videos of them creating what appear to be nearly four foot tall towers out of the empty cannisters. There are also videos of people filling whole fridges with the containers While Zyn has become the leading brand, others include Sesh, Black Buffalo and Carlson's Alp. About three percent of American adults reported having used a nicotine pouch in a 2024 - according to a study from USC Keck School of Medicine - representing roughly 7.5million people. Each pouch contains crystallized nicotine and is placed between your gums and lip. Over about 30 minutes, the nicotine dissolves and is passed through the tissue of the mouth, entering the blood stream. This can cause tingling, energy and a head high, which users have described as helping them have increased attention and heart rate. However, in other users, the potent hit of nicotine can cause gum irritation, dizziness and vomiting. Zyn sells packs ranging from 1.5 mg to nine mg of nicotine per pouch. An average cigarette contains 10 to 12 mg of nicotine, but only a fraction of that gets inhaled - accounting for about 1 mg to 2 mg per cigarette. In a smokeless tobacco product, however, all the nicotine is delivered from the product directly into the body, which means it may be overwhelming for some people. Baker Mayfield appeared to put one of these pouches in his mouth while on the sidelines of an October 2024 regular season game against the Baltimore Ravens Dr Syvlie said: 'Zyn, in particular, delivers higher concentrations of nicotine compared to most other nicotine products. This amplifies the risk of physical and mental dependence.' Unlike snuff or dip, users don't have to spit when using the product, and it doesn't produce an odor or smoke, making it a more discreet option than traditional products. Still, some research has found the tobaccoless products contain some of the same chemicals found in cigarettes. A 2022 study from the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, which tested 44 different nicotine pouch products from 20 unnamed companies, found nearly 60 percent contained cancer-causing chemicals called tobacco-specific nitrosamines. This includes ammonia, chromium and formaldehyde - the chemical used in embalming fluids. These are the same chemicals that make cigarettes and other tobacco products carcinogenic. So even though Zyn doesn't contain tobacco itself, it may be made from some of the same substances. Dr David Hendricks, the assistant medical director at Mountainside Treatment Center told DailyMail.com: 'While the risks of Zyn pouches specifically contributing to oral cancer remain unclear, older nicotine products have been identified as a cancer risks.' Josh Brolin said that he used to use nicotine lozenges for his fix, but switched to nicotine pouches. He sometimes sleeps with the products in, and said it's so second nature for him that his wife has seen him place one in his mouth while he's asleep Experts say long term studies are needed before they can conclude if there are any lasting health impacts from the pouches. Doctors do know about some of the short term harms, however, Dr Hendricks said. These include problems with oral health, like mouth sores, gum irritation, inflammation, and reduced saliva - which can lead to tooth decay. Also, many people experience nausea, vomit and mouth ulcers. Also, Dr Mike McGrath, a certified psychiatrist and chief clinical officer told DailyMail.com these products can be dangerous for people with heart or other cardiovascular conditions since they raise blood pressure and heart rate. However, Dr Sylvie noted these pouches could be part of the reasons that tobacco use on the whole has been decreasing. Gallup polls in 2024 found cigarette smoking hit an 80-year low this year - with just 11 percent of US adults smoking cigarettes. However, Zyn isn't regulated by the FDA as a nicotine replacement product, so it is difficult to know how many people use it and how many containers are bought. This also means while the products aren't illegal, they aren't reviewed for safety before they're put on shelves. Dr Sylvie said: 'Zyn and other alternative nicotine products sometimes fall into a regulatory gray area with limited oversight.' She concluded: 'So, while I think we've made progress in terms of reducing the harms associated with traditional tobacco products, risks of the trendy nicotine alternatives like Zyn shouldn't be ignored.'

Hezbollah fires about 250 rockets and other projectiles into Israel in heaviest barrage in weeks BEIRUT (AP) — Hezbollah has fired about 250 rockets and other projectiles into Israel, wounding seven people in one of the militant group’s heaviest barrages in months. Sunday's attacks in northern and central Israel came in response to deadly Israeli strikes in central Beirut on Saturday. Israel struck southern Beirut on Sunday. Meanwhile, negotiators press on with cease-fire efforts to halt the all-out war. And Lebanon's military says an Israeli strike on a Lebanese army center in the southwest killed one soldier and wounded 18 others. Israel's military has expressed regret and said its operations are directed solely against the militants. Israel cracks down on Palestinian citizens who speak out against the war in Gaza UMM AL-FAHM, Israel (AP) — In the year since the war in Gaza broke out, Israel's government has been cracking down on dissent among its Palestinian citizens. Authorities have charged Palestinians with “supporting terrorism” because of posts online or for demonstrating against the war. Activists and rights watchdogs say Palestinians have also lost jobs, been suspended from schools and faced police interrogations. Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel's population. Many feel forced to self-censor out of fear of being jailed and further marginalized in society. Others still find ways to dissent, but carefully. Israel's National Security Ministry counters that, “Freedom of speech is not the freedom to incite.” Somalia says 24 people have died after 2 boats capsized in the Indian Ocean MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somalia's government says 24 people died after two boats capsized off the Madagascar coast in the Indian Ocean. Somalia’s Foreign Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi said 46 people were rescued. Most of the passengers were young Somalis, and their intended destination remains unclear. Many young Somalis embark every year on dangerous journeys in search of better opportunities abroad. A delegation led by the Somali ambassador to Ethiopia is scheduled to travel to Madagascar on Monday to investigate the incident and coordinate efforts to help survivors. Forecasts warn of possible winter storms across US during Thanksgiving week WINDSOR, Calif. (AP) — Forecasters in the U.S. have warned of another round of winter weather that could complicate travel leading up to Thanksgiving. California is bracing for more snow and rain while still grappling with some flooding and small landslides from a previous storm. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for California's Sierra Nevada through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at high elevations. Thousands remained without power in the Seattle area on Sunday after a “bomb cyclone” storm system hit the West Coast last week, killing two people. Republicans lash out at Democrats' claims that Trump intelligence pick Gabbard is 'compromised' FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Republican lawmakers are pushing back against criticism from some Democrats that President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead U.S. intelligence services is “compromised” by her comments supportive of Russia and a meeting with an ally of that country. The accusation came from Sen. Tammy Duckworth. The Illinois Democrat says she has concerns about the pro-Russian views expressed by Tulsi Gabbard, who was tapped for the post of director of national intelligence. Duckworth’s comments on Sunday drew immediate backlash from Republicans. The rising price of paying the national debt is a risk for Trump's promises on growth and inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has big plans for the economy. He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. Moscow offers debt forgiveness to new recruits and AP sees wreckage of a new Russian missile KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law granting debt forgiveness to new army recruits who enlist to fight in Ukraine. The measure, whose final version appeared on a government website Saturday, underscores Russia’s needs for military personnel in the nearly 3-year-old war, even as it fired last week a new intermediate-range ballistic missile. Russia has ramped up military recruitment by offering increasing financial incentives to those willing to fight in Ukraine. Ukraine’s Security Service on Sunday showed The Associated Press wreckage of the new intermediate-range ballistic missile that struck a factory in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday. After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizers ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump's victory has dismayed many politically engaged Black women, and they're reassessing their enthusiasm for politics and organizing. Black women often carry much of the work of getting out the vote, and they had vigorously supported the historic candidacy of Kamala Harris. AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters, found that 6 in 10 Black women said the future of democracy was the single most important factor for their vote this year, a higher share than for other demographic groups. But now, some Black women are renewing calls to emphasize rest, focus on mental health and become more selective about what fight they lend their organizing power to. Heavy rains in Bolivia send mud crashing into the capital, leaving 1 missing and destroying homes LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Authorities say that a landslide caused by heavy rains has flooded dozens of homes in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. It swept away a young girl, spurred evacuations and left parts of the city without electricity. Torrential rain on Saturday caused a river to spill its banks Sunday, dislodging mud from a southwestern La Paz neighborhood where low-slung, shoddily built dwellings dot the hillside. The torrent of debris and soil surged down a narrow ravine early Sunday, wrecking some two dozen homes and flooding another 40. Hours after the rain subsided, rescuers were still searching for the missing 5-year-old girl. Emergency workers saved six residents suffering from hypothermia. 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator' make gravity-defying theater debuts NEW YORK (AP) — “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” have debuted in theaters with a combined $270 million in ticket sales. Their worldwide performance breathed fresh life into global box office results that have struggled lately. Together the films turned the moviegoing weekend into one of the busiest of the year. Jon M. Chu’s lavish big-budget musical “Wicked,” starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, debuted with $114 million domestically and $164.2 million globally. Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator II” is a sequel to his 2000 best picture-winning original and launched with $55.5 million in ticket sales. “Moana 2” is being released Wednesday, so it looks like Hollywood might be looking at historic sales over the Thanksgiving holiday.

The holidays encourage many of us to try new recipes. Social media right now is flooded with recipes for appetizers, side dishes and desserts. Anyone making from TikTok? While we might not get to share a Thanksgiving feast with Swift — is your name Blake Lively? — or other celebrities beloved by Kansas City, we can eat like them. So here’s the recipe for that casserole Swift loved so much, and favorite family side dish recipes from Donna Kelce and Eric Stonestreet. Enjoy. Travis Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce, seen here last year at her son's music festival, dined on a cheesesteak made by actor Bradley Cooper at QVC festivities in Las Vegas this week. (Emily Curiel/Kansas City Star/TNS) If we tried to guess Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, have scarfed over the years, would it be in the hundreds? Thousands? Their mom has spoken often about the batches of holiday crescent rolls she has baked over the years. Based on the recipe that won the 1969 Pillsbury Bake-Off, , they’re now known as Mama Kelce’s Dinner Rolls. They blend the crescent roll pastry with marshmallows, cinnamon and sugar. We bet they didn’t last long enough in front of Travis and Jason for that debate. •1/4 cup granulated sugar •2 tablespoons Pillsbury Best all-purpose flour •1 teaspoon ground cinnamon •2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) •16 large marshmallows •1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted •1/2 cup powdered sugar •1/2 teaspoon vanilla •2-3 teaspoons milk •1/4 cup chopped nuts Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 16 medium muffin cups with nonstick baking spray. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, flour and cinnamon. Separate the dough into 16 triangles. For each roll, dip 1 marshmallow into melted butter; roll in the sugar mixture. Place marshmallow on the shortest side of a triangle. Roll up, starting at shortest side and rolling to opposite point. Completely cover the marshmallow with the dough; firmly pinch edges to seal. Dip 1 end in remaining butter; place butter side down in muffin cup. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. When done, remove from the oven and let the puffs cool in the pan for 1 minute. Remove rolls from muffin cups; place on cooling racks set over waxed paper. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls. Sprinkle with nuts. Serve warm.
