First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how nicotine pouches affect the body and cravings in adult smokers. About 55 healthy smokers will try nine different nicotine pouches, cigarettes, nicotine gum, and a comparator pouch. Researchers will measure nicotine levels in the blood, heart rate, blood pressure, and how much participants like each product. The goal is to understand if these pouches could be a less harmful option for smokers.
