FDA Approves Zyn Nicotine Pouches While TikTok Ban Deadline Looms

The FDA grants regulatory approval to 20 Zyn products, while the Biden administration signals it will not enforce a TikTok ban set to take effect Sunday.

The FDA has approved 20 Zyn nicotine pouch products, marking a significant step in regulating alternatives to traditional tobacco products.
Zyn products, produced by Philip Morris subsidiary Swedish Match, are now officially legal for sale nationwide, pending local restrictions.
The approval follows years of regulatory delays under the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which requires pre-market authorization for new tobacco products.
The Biden administration announced it will not enforce the impending TikTok ban on its final day in office, leaving the app's future uncertain as President-elect Trump considers delaying enforcement further.
The Supreme Court may soon issue a ruling on TikTok's challenge to the forced divestiture of its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, as Senate Democrats push for a deadline extension.
