HEAD’S UP ON ZYN

Social media is fueling the popularity of these ni****ne pouches as an easy, quick, and easily accessible buzz for relaxation or focus, and teens and young adults are jumping on the bandwagon at an alarming rate. About the size of a piece of Chiclet® gum, they come in a variety of flavors and release ni****ne, which is highly addictive, into the bloodstream through the lining of the mouth. While to***co use among youth is down, this trend toward ni****ne pouches available without limits at convenience stores and other outlets is concerning. B-PEN urges you to have a conversation about ZYN with your adolescent. Here’s an excellent fact sheet to get you started: https://extension.usu.edu/heart/research/what-to-know-about-zyn-ni****ne-pouches.

How does HPV spread?

HPV spreads through intimate skin-to-skin contact, including non-penetrative activities like oral s*x or ge***al touching, and rarely through shared items like towels or razors.

This underscores the importance of vaccination and routine screenings, regardless of one's s*xual history.
