Controversial Factory To Be Built in Colorado, Adding 500 New Jobs

More jobs are coming to Colorado soon. Nearly 100,000 residents are currently looking for a job, and we know finding a job can be difficult. More jobs are coming to Colorado, but some Colorado residents may not feel entirely comfortable working for the new factory coming to Aurora.

Zyn Is Coming to Colorado

Zyn, a nicotine pouch company, has officially announced that they are building a new manufacturing factory in Colorado.

You have probably heard of Zyn. They are by far one of the most popular tobacco-less nicotine companies across the globe. The company made over $35 billion last year and has no plans to slow down or stay complacent.

There was a Zyn shortage famously last year. They plan to avoid that situation by building a new factory in Colorado.

Zyn To Open Colorado Factory

CBS reports that Philip Morris International, the parent company of Zyn, will open a new facility in Aurora.

They plan on investing $600 million in the factory which will create many jobs. To be specific, 500 full-time positions will need to be filled and 1,000 part-time jobs will be available.

This will be extremely beneficial for Colorado's economy. Are Coloradans going to feel good or bad about working for a company that is adding to addiction issues in America?

Zyn, Colorado, and Addiction

Zyn is a tobacco-free product that contains nicotine. It is a safer alternative to chewing tobacco, but it is still extremely addictive.

I view it the same way as vaping. They are still more safe than tobacco, but you are still risking your health.

Harvard took a look and concluded that Zyn pouches can increase cardiovascular disease among users and is still researching the effects of addiction to the product.
