NCT ID NCT07095140

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how young adults use oral nicotine pouches (like ZYN) and alcohol together. Researchers want to know if the nicotine strength or flavor of the pouch affects how much alcohol people drink. Twenty participants aged 21-30 who use nicotine pouches daily and drink at least three days a week will wear alcohol-monitoring wristbands and answer surveys. The goal is to gather information that could guide future rules and cancer prevention efforts.
