NCT ID NCT05730439
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examined how nicotine pouches (like ZYN and Rogue) affect people who use smokeless tobacco in rural Ohio and Appalachia. Researchers measured nicotine levels in the blood and asked participants about their intentions to use these products. The goal was to understand whether nicotine pouches might become a popular alternative to traditional smokeless tobacco and what that could mean for public health.

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could help public health officials understand whether nicotine pouches might help people switch from smokeless tobacco or lead to new nicotine addiction.
