NCT ID NCT06315881
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether oral nicotine pouches (like ZYN) can be a good substitute for cigarettes or smokeless tobacco. Researchers will test different nicotine levels and forms to see which ones reduce cravings and appeal to users. 160 adult tobacco users will try the pouches and report their experiences. The goal is to find product features that help people switch to a lower-risk nicotine product.

Nicotine Oral Pouch (ZYN)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that certain nicotine pouches are a satisfying substitute for cigarettes or smokeless tobacco, helping people switch to a lower-risk option.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study focused on product characteristics, not long-term health outcomes. The pouches still contain nicotine and may not help everyone quit or switch.
