Despite dozens of smokeless ni****ne pouch brands hitting the market, only two brands, Zyn & on!, are FDA approved. Remember, some brands are fitting the equivalent of 4-5 ci******es into one pouch. There's no evidence that these pouches are effective at helping you quit, just another tactic to maintain your ni****ne dependency. Get the facts.

When harm touches most people at some point, it’s no longer about individual hurt—it’s a shared reality.

Gambling-related harm shows up in different ways, at different moments, across our communities. That’s why stigma and assumptions get in the way of real support.

Understanding the scope helps us respond with empathy instead of judgment. Awareness changes how we respond. How we respond shapes our communities’ future.

If you or someone you know needs help with gambling-related harm, call 1-888-789-7777 or visit ccpg.org.
