Zyns, the nicotine pouches marketed as a "smokeless" alternative to cigarettes, have gained popularity in recent years. However, behind their seemingly harmless facade lurks a range of potential health risks that should raise concern.
Gum and Mouth Issues
Prolonged use of zyns can irritate the gums and mouth tissues, leading to conditions such as:
Health Risk | Source | Evidence |
---|---|---|
Gingivitis | [1] | Increased risk of developing gingivitis compared to non-users. |
Receding Gums | [2] | Nicotine constricts blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the gums. |
Oral Cancers | [3] | Some studies suggest a link between nicotine pouch use and an increased risk of oral cancers. |
Nicotine, the primary substance in zyns, can adversely affect the cardiovascular system:
Health Risk | Source | Evidence |
---|---|---|
Increased Heart Rate | [4] | Nicotine stimulates the release of adrenaline, increasing heart rate and blood pressure. |
Arterial Stiffness | [5] | Long-term zyns use can stiffen the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease. |
Arrhythmias | [6] | Regular zyns use may contribute to irregular heart rhythms, potentially leading to serious health complications. |
