Philip Morris International is trading at $180.17, down 1.48% on the session despi

U.S. officials are allowing Zyn to market itself as being less harmful than traditional cigarettes, making the product the first nicotine pouch on the market to be granted such a distinction. The Food and Drug Administration announced that 20 different Zyn nicotine pouches—including flavors ranging from cool mint to cinnamon—can carry language stating that using the pouches instead of smoking cigarettes puts users at a lower risk of mouth cancer, stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Zyn nicotine pouches, a product of Swedish Match USA, which is owned by Philip Morris International are the most popular in the U.S. They were granted permission to stay on the market in early 2025, the first pouch to receive the authorization.
