NCT ID NCT07573319

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study uses data from over 30,000 Swedish adults to see if using snus (including newer white nicotine pouches) is linked to heart disease, metabolic problems, and poor mental health, independent of smoking. Researchers will compare current, former, and never-users using advanced imaging and blood tests. The goal is to clarify the mixed evidence on snus safety.
