‘I'd rather have worse gums than worse lungs’: Young people's views of nicotine pouches in the UK
Young people in Scotland appear to have high awareness and knowledge of nicotine pouches, and experimental use and adverse effects are common. More established use is reported among older boys than other students, who are able to use these products discreetly in schools. School staff appear to be aware of pupils vaping but largely unaware of pouch use.
