The FDA held a meeting about Zyn nicotine pouches this week. Philip Morris wants to say Zyn is safer than regular cigarettes.

FDA regulators seem to agree with the company's marketing request. But experts asked questions about Zyn's health effects and young users.

Zyn contains nicotine powder and comes in ten different flavors. These pouches are popular and sales are growing quickly for the company.

Philip Morris hopes new ads will make more smokers switch to Zyn. They had similar claims for snus, but few US smokers switched then.

Anti-tobacco groups worry Zyn's flavors may attract young people. They also noted social media videos and rewards programs for users.
