San Francisco Targets Online Sales Of Flavored Zyn Nicotine Pouches In Lawsuit
A new lawsuit targets a handful of online retailers
And then they came for the upper-decky lip pillows.
San Francisco is clamping down on the online sale of flavored Zyn pouches — a nicotine product that gives users a hit of the addictive substance in the form of a small pouch placed between the lip and gum.
A new lawsuit targets a handful of online retailers that the city says are violating its prohibition on flavored tobacco products, a law intended to prevent children from getting hooked. Unflavored versions of the product, which are sold at corner stores and tobacco shops in the city, will remain available for online purchase.
“The tobacco industry has gone to tremendous lengths to reinvent their products to addict young people,” said City Attorney David Chiu. “We aren’t going to allow these companies to disregard the law and unravel decades of progress on preventing youth from using tobacco.”
The Standard obtained a draft of the complaint, which was filed Tuesday in San Francisco County Superior Court. The suit alleges that Northerner Scandinavia, Lucy Goods, Rogue Holdings, and Swisher International sell flavored Zyn products online to San Franciscans despite the ban.
