Young men, former smokers most likely to try nicotine pouches, new study shows
A study led by epidemiologist Amanda Palmer shows that young men and current tobacco users are most likely to use nicotine pouches, a new product in the tobacco industry. The research, based on data from 2022-23 Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Survey, found this trend among almost 23,000 participants. Published in JAMA Network Open, this is one of the first studies to measure the popularity of nicotine pouches, starting with Wave 7 of the survey which began tracking tobacco use in 2013.
