Resources from our Student Assistance Counselor
Please be on the lookout for a rise in nicotine pouches, commonly known as “Zyn”, that is gaining popularity amongst adolescents in the United States. This article outlines what to look for, the dangers of use, and other commonly known names for nicotine pouches. We encourage parents to stay abreast of current trends so they are aware of what to educate their children about and have candid conversations at home. This article highlights the gain in popularity of Zyn for Major League Baseball players, which can influence students who view them as role models, particularly student-athletes.
