Are Things as Bad as They Seem?
Fellow Zyn users… We are beset on all sides by enemy forces. With Zyn.com stopping sales due to lawmaker interference, and Zyn USA experiencing a pouch shortage, it may be harder now than ever to find your favorite pouches and throw in an upper-decky.
But don’t worry, we’ve got your back with 6 top Zyn alternatives, to get you through these hard times, until the Zyn USA factory is cranking out more Zyns than ever and your favorite flavors are (hopefully) available once again.
