Assessing the gastrointestinal and psychological impacts of nicotine pouch use among adults in Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study
The study found that many users of nicotine pouches report gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms. The symptoms seem more common among individuals with lower socioeconomic status. Although the findings do not imply direct effects, they indicate that there should be greater awareness and more research, especially long-term research, to establish how nicotine pouch use can be attributed to health problems.
