Your smokeless nicotine habit could pay off with tickets to see country concert thanks to some rewards.

Zyn is offering a rewards-only concert with Dierks Bentley on Oct. 12. You cannot purchase tickets to the show, which is going down at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl. Instead, you must redeem 3,000 Zyn reward points to get inside. The venue has closed off the date on their website calling it a “private event.”

Before we go any further, it’s important to note that according to the American Lung Association, smokeless tobacco use can cause gum disease, tooth decay, tooth loss and the formation of white or gray patches inside the mouth called leukoplakia that can lead to cancer.

to get into the private show you can earn points by scanning the QR code that comes on the underside of the package. An over the counter Zyn package is worth 15 points, so if you want to cram the shopping cart full of 200 of these babies, you are good to go.

Obviously assuming that you are the legal purchasing age of 21, the same age you need to be in order to cash in the reward points.

This isn’t anything new to the tobacco world, my father was a Camel man, and we had plenty of Joe Camel stuff. Have you seen what that stuff is worth now? Was I the only kid who went to school with a cigarette backpack?

Of course, if you are unfamiliar, Zyn are a nicotine pouch that users put between the lip and gum, absorbing the nicotine through the mouth.

Zyn nicotine packets have become increasingly more popular over the years. In fact in 2018 the United States imported 6 million cans of Zyn. Compare that to 2023 when the United States brought in 334 million cans. Needless to say the usage numbers are skyrocketing.

So if you love Zyn and Dierks, why not turn that habit into a night on the town with Dierks?
