FETTERMAN OPPOSES SCHUMER’S ZYN NICOTINE POUCH CRACKDOWN FOR SAME ‘FREEDOM’
REASONS HE BACKS MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION
Published

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) says he doesn’t support Senate Majority Leader Chuck
Schumer’s (D-NY) call for a crackdown on the nicotine product Zyn because it’s a
matter of “freedom and personal choices,” drawing parallels to his reasons for
supporting marijuana legalization.
Schumer said earlier this week that he’s asking the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate the health impacts and
marketing of the nicotine pouches that have been popularized on social media in
a way that he says appeals to youth.
“It’s a pouch packed with problems—high levels of nicotine,” the majority leader
said. “I’m delivering a warning to parents, because these nicotine pouches seem
to lock their sights on young kids—teenagers, and even lower—and then use the
social media to hook ’em.”
Cannabis café bill gets reintroduced
Cannabis café bill gets reintroduced
California Assemblymember Matt Haney has reintroduced a bill to create
Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes in the state. Governor Newsom vetoed a similar
bill last year, which would have allowed cannabis dispensaries to sell food and
host live concerts. Assemblymember Haney joined us on 'The Nine' to talk about
how it could reshape the cannabis landscape across California.

Asked about Schumer’s remarks on Thursday, Fetterman said that, like alcohol and
conventional tobacco products, Zyn “should be kept away from minors, of course.”
But he’s not convinced that the pouches warrant special scrutiny or enforcement
action.
“When I am going to have a decision, I’m going to err on the side of more
freedom and personal choices and those kinds of things,” he said. “And I made
that same argument when I wanted to legalize marijuana.”
He said that thousands of people die each year from the use of alcohol and
cigarettes, and so he believes there are “bigger issues to address than” Zyn.
“I don’t support it—and I would never support snuff or chewing tobacco, but it’s
available,” he said. “We all have these kinds of things and we should have
adults having the choices to make these things available.”
The senator has long advocated for cannabis reform, including during his time as
Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor. In November, he criticized GOP lawmakers in
the state for holding up legalization as neighboring states like Ohio moved
forward with the policy change.
“It just makes it more silly. It’s just so simple and so easy—just give people
what they want. And again, make it safe, make it pure and make jobs,” he said.
“All the benefits are going to the cartels, but now, it should be going to the
state.”
Schumer, for his part, also supports cannabis legalization—though much of his
focus around the issue this session has been on a bipartisan marijuana banking
bill that moved through a Senate committee in September and is now pending floor
action.
He said last month that lawmakers will “hit the ground running” in 2024, aiming
to build on bipartisan progress on several key issues, including the marijuana
banking reform—though he noted it “won’t be easy.”
