In recent news, South Africa’s new tobacco bill has sparked nationwide debate about how best to protect public health and reduce the harms of smoking. This evolving conversation is also shining a light on the urgent need for alternatives that respect both individual choice and the wellbeing of the broader community.
Against this backdrop, Philip Morris South Africa (PMSA) is encouraging adult smokers to switch to better smoke-free alternatives to smoking. Philip Morris South Africa has made a bold commitment to drastically reduce cigarette production by 2030. As a result, smoke-free alternatives like ZYN, are emerging as stronger option for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke.
Intended for adults who would otherwise smoke or use nicotine products, ZYN offers a cleaner convenient way to enjoy nicotine products without smoke, vapor, or ash.
Jonanthan Kwak, Smoke-Free Products Director at PMSA, highlights ZYN’s convenience: “Whether you’re at work, travelling, or out with friends, you can enjoy ZYN without bothering those around you,” he says. The pouches fit easily into your pocket or bag. It makes it possible for adult users of nicotine products to stay in the moment without missing out, and to enjoy their nicotine moment without smoke or smell on fingers or clothes.
“With over a billion people still smoking worldwide, smoke-free alternatives like ZYN are giving adult smokers better choices to enjoy nicotine without the smoke, ash and other hassle”, adds Kwak.
ZYN is available in a variety of flavours – such as Black Cherry, Cool Mint, Bellini and Espressino – and two nicotine strengths (3mg and 6mg), to cater for adult consumers preferences. Additionally, ZYN now introduces 1.5mg (x-low) strength with a Spearmint flavor while expanding the flavour line of its 6mg offer with Apple Mint and Citrus.
The availability of ZYN nicotine pouches in South Africa is another significant step in PMSA’s mission to accelerate the end of cigarette smoking in South Africa.
ZYN is intended for adult nicotine users only. The best option for health is to quit tobacco and nicotine products altogether. For those who don’t, ZYN offers a better alternative to continued smoking.
