⚠️ Think Zyn, and others alike, are “harmless”? Think again.

Zyn and other ni****ne pouches are smokeless, but that doesn’t make them safe.
🧠 Ni****ne = addiction – It changes how your brain works, especially for youth under 25.
🦷 Oral health risks – Gum damage, mouth sores, and tooth decay are common.
❤️ Long-term health risks – Ni****ne raises blood pressure and can harm your heart.

Don’t let “smokeless” fool you! Ni****ne pouches can be just as addictive and harmful as ci******es.

🚭 Did you know?
Many people still think you can buy to***co at 18. but the legal age is 21!
🧠 Why it matters: Using to***co before 21 can harm brain development and make it harder to quit later.
💡 Awareness saves lives: When teens know about To***co 21, it reduces access, discourages use, and promotes a to***co-free future.

Let’s spread the word and help youth make healthy choices! 🌟
