    What's the story

    Baker Mayfield, the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is in the news after using a ZYN nicotine pouch on the sideline during an MNF game.

    This incident sparked controversy due to the NFL's regulations against tobacco products.

    However, the league has announced that Mayfield will not face any fines or disciplinary action for his actions.

    We decode the controversy and his stats.

    Controversy explained

    What are ZYN nicotine pouches and what's the NFL's policy?

    ZYN is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch similar to Snus, requiring no spitting or smoking.

    It gained popularity through social media, notably influenced by Joe Rogan.

    The NFL's tobacco policy prohibits alcohol, tobacco, and smokeless nicotine pouches like ZYN in team areas.

    According to reports, Mayfield could have faced suspension, instead, the league will send a letter to Mayfield reminding him of the policy.
