New nicotine product being used by Gen Z as alternative to vapes

Gen Z faces a ban on disposable vapes in the UK but has turned to nicotine pouches as an alternative. The ban, effective June 1, targets single-use vape products to decrease litter. The rise in nicotine pouch popularity offers a new way to consume nicotine, favored by young adults. With higher nicotine content and discreet use, pouches are becoming a replacement. However, possible health risks include gastrointestinal issues and cardiovascular effects. Additionally, concerns arise over unregulated and potentially dangerous nicotine pouches being sold, posing risks, especially to youth. Restrictions and the rise of alternative products are changing young adults' nicotine consumption habits.
