Investigating oral nicotine pouch use among adults in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: prevalence, awareness, susceptibility, and associated symptoms
Given that 95.8% of ONP users in this study were smokers, these findings suggest a potential future role for ONPs as a harm reduction strategy within the context of smoking cessation in Saudi population in Riyadh. However, continuous surveillance and targeted public health interventions are crucial to mitigate the potential negative consequences associated with ONP use.
