These pouches made it possible to quit smoking! After 50 years of smoking and 40+ years of trying to quit these things worked!
Exactly... they don't actually want these ppl to quit. They want the tax money.
Saagar wants to ban weed which helps millions of people focus just like zyns do. He’s a fraud and ignorant
lol they don’t want us to be healthy
Translation: Teens are smoking less, and Lobbyist paid me to come out and stop that.
The only people who need that crap to stop smoking are the ones who don't really want to quit in the first place.
Guess zyn’s lobbyists aren’t paying enough.
Bingo
They’re busy paying podcasters in the Rogansphere lol.
@@user-cr1iz8fw6h Hence Schumer's attack on Zen. Just another case of Democrats weaponizing the political system against people and companies that don't out rightly align with their party.
Ding ding ding! Schumers second largest donor is a law firm the represents the competitor of Zyn
Nikki is still awaiting a pay check from. Them.
Why in the world would they ban nicotine pouches they’re the healthiest way for smokers to quit smoking!
And the healthiest way to consume nicotine too, for those who may not want to quit.
Because they get the most tax revenue from cigarettes. Plain and simple
Think of the children!
@@jginda1 Prob a lot of truth to that.
I'm not sure if they are a technically approved form of nicotine replacement therapy though, like nicotine patches or gum. Although it seems like it would be safer than smoking.
First they came for vapes, now they come for your patches. Screw these politicians supporting big tobacco
Pouches
Pouches. And they'll never go for the gum or patches those are pharmaceutical products.
Big tobacco WISHES it could sell the gum
Zyn is a subsidiary of Philip Morris. Big tobacco has nothing to benefit from zyn getting banned.
Then they came for your gas stove 😂
Republicans are the big defenders of the tobacco industry. How can you mix that up?
As a Swede where nicotine pouches or as we call it ”snus” is a big cultural thing, this regulation is ridiculous. If they ban “snus”, they should ban smoking which is way worse in every way. Ridiculous proposition from the Dems. Let people consume what they want. Snus is one of the most innocent “vices”.
I was actually introduced to Zyn by a couple girls from Sweeden visiting the states several years ago; at first every store I would buy from had no idea what I was talking about - I would have to point to them behind the counter lol. TBH I doubt they are completely benign but you are right, people tend to have vices and I doubt Zyn pouches are as bad as cigarettes, cigars, dip, vapes, etc… I check the medical literature periodically but I dont think we will know for many years to come. That said, cheeseburgers are bad but the government shouldn’t outlaw them. I’ll take 70 years of freedom over 100 years of tyranny any day.
Well see if that opinion holds in my 60’s lol
Snus is love,snus is life.
Actually it has been studied for many many years in Sweden. Its definitely proven to be less harmful than smoking.
I am old enough to remember when all the Swedes I knew had literal holes in their gums where they placed little balls of tobacco. I guess the slow release bags were promoted to save a nations gums :)
Here in the US, about 10 years ago, Camel Snus (they were labeled that way) when they came out! I tried them, but 17 year old me preferred smoking. Cause that’s what my grandpa, dad & 3 older brothers did! But a lot of my buddies and I knew Snus before Zyns, had no idea where the name came from
sounds like the tabacco lobby gave him a call
Phillip Morris owns Zyn
And BP has a ton of environmental programs.
@@Jeff_Edwards Thanks for mentioning this - was curious myself who owned Zyn but was too lazy to look it up lol. Think it’s safe to say this isn’t a tobacco lobby thing now
@@steven5781read the comment above yours. 😅
I represent the Tabasco lobby 🔥 🌶
I didn’t know about ZYN until Chuck Schumer brought it up. Thanks for the recommendation , Chuck! I’ll have to look into it.
Same! Gonna buy some!
😂😂same. Just bought one coffee flavored, what a package deal
I quit smoking after 34 years thanks to those pouches.
ZYN is the best pouch available in the us imo. It’s inconvenient but you can order some Swedish zyns or other brands from a few different cites, they’re better but again pretty inconvenient. As far as us zyn goes, I’d recommend spearmint and the non-flavored ones. “Non-flavored” is kind of a misnomer because they definitely have a flavor,they just don’t use artificial sweeteners
@@kylen4701Hell yea. I'll take 2✌ Seriously though, I've heard Tucker Carlson did an add for Zyn. Wonder if that has anything to do with this.
Zyn ain't a sin!
If you VOTED, that's your sin.. 😂😂😂
My body my choice right now?
That's antivax propaganda
@@Anaught-tbrk08🤡
Dems: "we support bodily autonomy and freedom of choice!"
Repubs: "so you are against mandates for experimental vaccines too, right"
Dems: "Noooo, not like that".
@@shanechilson3717 how long have you studied immunology for?
@@nzuckmanhow long have you studied being a worthless snarky internet commenter that adds nothing to a discussion? your whole life?
2 packs of camels a day for 20 years was stopped because of Zyn. Thank you Zyn for saving my life. Haven’t had a cigarette in 2.5 years.
Zyn is basically a "safer" alternative to using dip pouches since they really only contain nicotine and flavoring instead of tobacco, and thats why they want to ban them!
How dare you doubt your masters?? 😂😂😂
Lets have a conversation about targeted advertising of caffeine products towards kids. The amount of teenagers I see at the gym taking large doses of pre-work or highly caffeinated energy drinks is way more than kids using zyn.
Talk about the conjunction of gamer culture and Mt Dew and kids.
@@ssarabug1982sb Dew is sort of in the little leagues compared to Monster and Prime these days... and I'm also guilty of switching out my coffee cup for a can or bottle of energy drink these days. One thing i can't really get however is the amount of sweeteners, syrups, creamers etc. Americans use in their coffee, at some point it must cease to be coffee right? I grew up drinking it black like pretty much everyone else over here in Sweden.
Both are dangerous, I'm not sure why you'd make a arbitrary comparison of two things that are horrible for teenagers.
Or marketing any sugar based product to children. Consuming sugar is habit forming, brain altering, and addictive.
@@qwery486Sure, large amounts of caffeine can be dangerous, but it is not accurate to say "caffeine is dangerous". It has very clear benefits to humans.
This is ridiculous! The government has a lot of other things to work on than infringing on our personal freedoms.
💯 Thank you
Yes, but it is done to distract people. After all they are covering it here wasting time.
Actually that's the government's primary occupation. Other than infringing on the freedoms of people in other countries and boosting Raytheon stock
Our government is committed to banning things so we can fill our prisons and keep the many lobbies super rich
Exactly
The late Ruth Bader Zynsburg would never stand for this
Top comment. Everyone, come like this.
Really.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Osama Zyn Ladin died for this.
Then she shoild have resigned so Obama could appoint a justice like her instead of selfishly choosing to die in offive.
Tucker is beating the war drums as we speak. This calls for a hero. Zynladin here we come 🙌
You guys will rally behind any war drum cuz someone on tv tells you to get angry about it.
Daddy government telling me what I can and cannot do.
ihtler did not drink, use tobacco or eat meat. These are not coincidences
@@sdrc92126he was a tweaking meth head though lol

Yeah this will really curry favor within the young Democratic voters 😂
I doubt smokers are a key demographic for Dems. Even if they are young
LMAO you know how many smokers there are in America@@insanittiez4860
@@insanittiez4860even if they were, it's not like they'd go out and vote anyway.
@@Batmans_Pet_Goldfish yeah. The smoker community. I doubt those people vote. I even doubt they know about this entire thing.
So cigarettes are the healthier choice? Thanks Chuck for caring
I cant imagine being old and trying to force young people to live the way I did because I know whats best for everyone.
Look at Saagar bringing back Reefer Madness!!!
He said that the has more of risk of causing a physcotic break than Meth. He's lost his mind 😂
I AM SO SICK OF THESE PEOPLE TAKING EVERYTHING away little by little....first it was Menthol, then Cigs, then vape, then Zyn....what next?!
It’s nice to see Ryan so comfortable in his skin. It’s taken a couple of years, but he seems to have grown into this role. Breaking points is lucky to have him.
why is "my body my choice" for only ONE THING with these idiots
So how many times did you VOTE?? 😂😂
Would they still be "safe" if they had more arsenic and tar added into the pouch? This is ridiculous.
He’s clearly getting paid by a Zyn competitor; maybe the MJ or alcohol industry.
So you didn't know Chucky can extort people?? 😂😂
They always use kids as an excuse to take people's rights.
Sure, until you realize that 12.6% of high schoolers and 6.6% of middle schoolers ACTIVELY use tobacco products, the most popular being flavored e-vapes. These can and do fall into the hands of the younger generation, ZYN included.
@qwery486 ok? So how are they getting them illegally. They can't purchase them. It's already against the law.
@@kerbal8691 These companies actively market to children, removing flavored versions (bubble gum, grape, strawberry) that younger people are attracted to while leaving some of the less desirable flavors (menthol) for legitimate adult users is the best option.
@@qwery486 its still illegal to sell to minors, so how are they getting them? You are not answering the question.
also i know plenty of adults that like those flavors too. its not just children. Its already illegal to sell to children.
"Civil War?" Why would you put that there.
Exactly. Leading Propaganda
Or they’re kidding lol
Because there is disagreement within the party over it
Literally 😂
It isn't a news show. Just a propaganda piece to keep you within a lane the elites are comfortable with
When cannabis is still a schedule 1 drug makes it hard to have a real conversation because everyone is scared of being banned again if you acknowledge the bad stuff.
If you think Marijuana has a higher risk of causing drug induced physcotic breaks than any other drug, you are absolutely off your rocker.
That's meth
Sagar: Let me list all of the benefits of cigarettes
Also Saagar: I’m not promoting cigarettes
Perfect!
Saagar is braindead. 3:23 "Saagar you are absolutely right about weed!" He openly wanted to keep weed banned but now that he's addicted to Zynns he wants to keep them legal lol. I even agree that we shoudln't ban them but its almost funny how intellectually daft he is.
You're misrepresenting him. He's talking about the benefits of nicotine, not of smoking.
Saagar hates 'weed' but never mentions alcohol in the same breath. It's pretty obvious that he's biased on the entire issue.
@@gracehetfield5331 everyone has seen huberman go on and on about how great nicotine. We also see people use that as an excuse to abuse Zyns and Vapes 24/7.
I'm white as a picket fence and I smoke menthols. It's not about kids or health, it's about control and what corporation is making "campaign contributions" this month.
Usually it's about preventing menthol from masking the tobacco since it's much easier for people to start smoking menthol cigarettes without feeling like they ate an ashtray
simple....legal weed gets taxed to hell..... cigarettes get taxed to hell..... all about that cheddar
But how many times did you VOTE?? 😂😂😂
@@jonathan7249 did you ever see C.H.U.D.?
"Zyn is not a sin" - Tucker Carlson.
I didn’t even know about Zyn. Thanks for the tip Chuckles
What I’ve learned is that any time a politician comes out against a product, it’s because that product is hurting the market share of another product owned by a company that is their corporate donor.
Menthol is a local anesthetic. It makes it easier to smoke more than you would without it. Which inherently makes it worse for you. If you dont know about something don't talk about it on a news show
"Smoking makes you cool and a rocket scientist" - that's what I got from Saagar 😂 cigars just made me an engineer...
Lol Saagar's hypocrisy on weed is hilarious 😂
Trust me on this smoking weed had carcinogenic effects. The research is coming. This is coming from a fellow traveller, don’t trust the propaganda on either side.
What the fuck. These are how I stopped smoking.
Weed downsides have been extremely exaggerated for years and it hasn’t been able to be studied due to its scheduling
False. There have been dozens of studies showing the negative side effects of THC on people under the age of 25.
Whilst I realize Sagar was hopped up on cups of coffee and nicotine pouches in gums, RYAN STICK UP FOR US STONERS! 5k every day and productive I am. Get feisty Ryan! 😂😂 love you guys!! Watch you guys enthusiastically !
these are the same people that think you need to learn about strappyMcStrap- ons when you are 8, and don't mind cross sechs hormones
Saagar hates weed but loves nicotine because he is a boomer of the mind.
Soooo true lol he even spews refer madness all because he doesn’t want to smell it, but a cigarette? Hes all for its hypocrisy at its finest. That doesnt feel very libertarian to me… literally just like my dad he’s all for freedoms he likes.
With the rise of this and vaping, the amount of money that can be collected from tobacco companies through the Master Settlement Agreement goes down. It’s that simple.
yes, this is why they go after products that help get people off tobacco. Remember...it was all about the dangers of tobacco and tar and whatnot...now that products only contain the addictive product of nicotine and no tobacco or tar they are complaining that too many people are not smoking the product that generates the revenue dispersed to not only the states but orgs like the American Lung Association. imagine the ALA complaining that not enough people are abusing their lungs because they use zyn pouches and they get starved of that revenue.
I am happy that he is taking on the most important issues...true public servant
Zyn up
In Sweden we call it Snus and it’s VERY POPULAR here 😊
Snus has been around forever and that's not what Zyn is. Snus is tobacco pouches. Zyn is synthetic nicotene pouches.
Who cares what a racist country like Sweden thinks?
@@technigenericProduct like zyn (synthetic nicotene pouches) are called white snus, atleast in here Europe.
Preach saagar. As a black man and menthol smoker I feel like they are targeting us.
White, don’t smoke menthols, and I think you’re right.
Nicotine is freakin fine.
Smoking carcinogens is not.
Nicotine itself is a net positive for your cognitive health.
Source?
@@nzuckmanright
@@nzuckmantrust me bro, I'm a smoker
@@nzuckman me. I'm the source. I'm a certified medical professional.
Zeneration G won't stand for this
Saagar would totally be a vaping frat boy😅
I smoke a gram of marijuana every day and I wish I could stop but I’m a very angry person without marijuana
Saggar just remember cannabis is different things to different people. We are not all just lazy stoners. We are people who enjoy the culture and who are passionate about it like anything else. It can even be compared to traditional asian style of tea drinking. It’s an experience of aroma, taste and the different affects it provides mentally. It can smell sweet, funky, gassy, earthy, citrus lemon or organge and yes can be skunky which some of us love and all smells in between. It can taste like all of these wonderful smells as well, all naturally occurring from the plant. And the effects can all be different as well. Feelings of euphoria, relaxation, calmness or feelings of creativity or thoughts of self reflection and different perspectives of yourself. It’s not just getting messed up and even though some choose to smoke daily that doesn’t mean they are lazy. Some of us work hard labor jobs and are daily smokers.
lmao bro get out of your high school bob marley phase
@@DoctorDeuceon the contrary, valuing richer experiences tends to come later with age and mental development, whether it's tasting wine or weed or whatever else
@@NJ-wb1cz no those aren't "rich experiences" they are doing drugs and using some pretentious excuse to feel important while doing it... you're not a weed sommelier, you're smoking GMO freak weed grown by Juan and his pesticide backpack and typing this stupid shit out on UA-cam.
@@DoctorDeuce I learned lobbying and how to pass laws at a state level in the cannabis industry. Have you ever passed a new law in your state?
Maybe if you had a more open mind and boosted creativity you'd have legislative wins to boast about too. Alcohol certainly makes achieving such goals less likely.
@@lizardjoelbut I like me alcohol too.
Sagaar: “It’s crazy. They have weed in drinks now, lollipops…”
Also Sagaar: “inhaling smoke in your lungs is still bad for you.”
And...? Zyn involves no smoke inhalation. It's objectively healthier. The hypocrisy is Chuck Schumer supporting weed, and wanting to ban Zyn.
Should’ve done the story on Ted Lieu wanting to preserve rodents by getting rid of rat trap glue.
Huh? In the world of corruption, wars and other forms of chaos, you mean to tell me they are concentrating on this, 🤦🏽♂️. They deserve to be voted out of office.
I am probably the odd one here. Started with a one here and there and have gone to 3-4 per day. Tried quitting, went for a week and had brain fog the entire week. I am a non smoker, non vaper who started it because of memes.
I am not advocating for a ban here but if you do use zyn/on/velo try moderating your consumption because the tolerance creeps up quickly.
I got up to 12mg zeos and then went down to 9mgs because the 12s are just too strong. You simply havent gone far enough. Zeos are cheaper and last longer as well
@@wtice46329 mg of nicotine?.. How many do you consume per day?
No, you are not odd at all. Nicotine is highly addictive and you went through withdrawal. Banning zyn is wrong but people have to be careful when promoting it, especially to the young / uninitiated
I've used cannabis on an off regularly throughout my adult life. I can safely say I'm a better, more productive citizen and family member when I use cannabis every day 🤷🏼♂️
"the people of the great state of vermont will not apologize for their cheese" thank you for smoking
Many doctors that I've worked with have said "nicotine itself isn't very harmful or toxic, but the method of consumption and other ingredients consumed with it is", such as the tar in smoking tobacco, metals/chemicals in vaping. Zyn is just pure nicotine.
I switched to ZYN over 2 years ago, and haven't smoked tobacco or used a vape since. I'm clearly addicted to it, but it's much better than the alternatives and my choice.
Tucker Carlson Oakley talks about Zen that’s probably the problem
So saagar is addicted to caffeine and nicotine, both which are way worse than marijuanna but he's crying about weed? Common
Caffeine and nicotine are simple chemicals, you can't compare them to weed. A product with nicotine or caffeine can be both safer and more dangerous than weed since the dosages can be arbitrary
Weed is a much more serious drug, be honest...it puts you in a different world. You can't function in an intellectual role while high...and hey, I love the stuff...I spend my entire college experience high all day long...but let's be honest, it's very strong, and is a huge change in consciousness. It's not a little energy boost like caffeine and nicotine are.
Maybe you are associating nicotine with cigarettes. Nicotine alone is not dangerous. It is addictive...ya know, like coffee.
@@geometerfpv2804 that's also not really correct. You may perceive a change in consciousness better when you're on weed, but nicotine and caffeine literally change your thoughts and feelings as well. Just because they don't add awareness and so you retain illusion of "control" doesn't mean that you actually do
@@geometerfpv2804 no one dies from smoking pots. Millions dies from cigarette. yes, there is a lethal dose for even nicotine.
Caffeine isn’t worse than weed- give me a freaking break (btw I am in favor of legalization and high taxation of drugs)
Saagar is pretty crazy. He does a good job of seeming normal till he really goes off.
Yeah the Apollo 13 reference was pretty funny though
Bud smells great if you are a smoker and can actually smell the botanicals 😂 but I get it for those that don’t smoke.
I personally dont like getting hit in the face with a cloud of skunk smell out of the blue.
I don't smoke weed but I kinda like the smell. I use the legal THC drinks 🇨🇦 occasionally and smkoe cigars. I do even like the smell of dilute, fresh cigarette smoke.
Ha ha😂 why? Cause of Tucker Carlson?
I will literally vote republican rest of my life
Tribalism makes people stoopid.
@@THEGlassIED and can also save their life.
@@charlietuna1971Nah, it's just stupid.
@@THEGlassIED"vote blue no matter who"
@@wtice4632 Yeah, that's stupid too.
5:00 next they'll be banning Hennessey!
Cigarette companies gotta be lobbying for this
Zyn was developed by Philip Morris, in response to RJ Reynolds developing Velo.
I agree with Saagar's reasoning for why he uses nicotine. I don't, outside of a social context like a hookah bar. But I use cannabis for the same professional reasons: it boosts my creativity. It helps me think better. And my job is mostly thinking and creativity. I wish he could come around on weed because he already seems to understand this with nicotine.
Saagar is right about people not acknowledging the hazards of cannabis. A lot of people will describe it as medicine. Also, cannabis addiction is often made fun of by other smokers, meaning there is stigma for people trying to quit or get help quiting.
Ok boomer
But it is a medicine for some people. It's been proven to have medicinal value even if our stupid government doesn't want to acknowledge all the studies. Personally, I know several people who were able to stop using opiates (which are far more dangerous and addictive than cannabis) by using cannabis with high THC levels. I'd much rather my friends be addicted to cannabis than opiates.
Cant pass a budget bill, but want to ban something extremely helpful to me. GFY...
This is quite a free-wheeling segment 😂. I kind of love it if I’m honest
What the Hell is Saagar talking about with his drug takes? Holy crap it’s completely illogical.
My father in law complained that he never got sick when he was smoking and was constantly sick after he quit, so he picked it back up after 5 years. Just a counterpoint...
😂
The only way I could see this is if he was using cigarettes to relieve stress as we know stress can make you more susceptible to sickness
One anecdote is not empirical scientific evidence. This is bologna.
Off to buy my Marlboro Golds now. Thanks, Chuck!
I’m literally buying a powdered wig and a musket
Forgive me father, for I have Zyned 🙏
Sagar is so bitter about weed smokers as he defends nicotine which is 110000x worse health wise than weed
That is not true. Whay are you lying? Nicotine on its own isnt bad at all, its not psychoqative like weed so ot cant be worse. So why are you a liar?
Nicotine itself isn't that unhealthy. It's a nootropic and has some health benefits like decreasing chance for Parkinson.
Leave our damn nicotine alone! How about the other drugs on the street in our county that you refuse to do anything about.
Without cigarettes never would have made it to the moon. Got it 😂
Sounds like a nicotine ad
Vape shops exist in British hospitals, think about that.
i wish zyn didnt use plastic pouch
Lmao when he called Rogan a "marijuana fiend" 😂😂😂
My friend and his wife get stoned every night. Sit in front of the tv, immobile. If they were drinking, there'd be an intervention.
im watching this from my desk covered in zyn cans
This is what they prioritize on what needs to be cracked down on???
Don't like something?
Politicians: Ban it
"Cancer sticks" got grandfathered in I guess. This universe has f#cked up lore, man.
Legalize weed and ban Nicotine Pouches... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love watching saagar talk about weed cuz he always gets so... tense 😅😅
Smells great Saagar! You’re trippen sir. Lol
What's next? Nicorette gum because it is attractive to the youth? Cry me a river. Zyn is the only relatively harmless popular tobacco alternative. Screw this guy
The folks who make Zyn clearly isn't giving Chuckie a big enough kick back.
There are downsides to everything. That isn't a reason to ban everything.
Leave it to an old jew to try and ruin the fun
Tucker Carlson is a big Zyn advocate. That’s what this is about.Pissing Tucker off. Can’t wait to hear what he has to say about it
If zyn tasted like prunes and stale oatmeal maybe schumer would like it. Hell, they could even make a flavor called "young kid hair" for Biden.
This is like trying to ban AR-15 and leaving every other rifle that shoots the same caliber alone.
The thing about the menthol cigarette ban is that there is another rule that covers regular cigarettes. It just hasnt been released, so that is why it doesn't make sense.
I smoke the ganj. It definitely helps with my anxiety/focus and allows me to be more productive when doing certain types of tasks. Am I addicted? Not physically. There are no physical withdrawals when I don't smoke, but it is hard to go without it mentally.
I think in moderation, not as bad on the lungs as cigs since there isn't the same amount needing to be inhaled, and less chemicals. Still detrimental to respiratory system to some degree.
Saagar, the smell is NOT terrible. VERY GOOD SMELL! Thank you for supporting my freedom to smell VERY GOOD.
