Patterns and Perception of Nicotine Pouches Use Among Adults in Saudi Arabia
Nicotine pouch consumption in Saudi Arabia is prevalent among young current and former smokers, valued for perceived safety, affordability, and cessation support. Stronger strengths and frequent use correlated with greater dependency and motivation to quit. While effective for craving control, reported side effects highlight the need to raise awareness of potential health risks from long-term use.
