Nicotine pouch study reveals how much gets into your blood
NCT ID NCT05452278
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested four different nicotine pouches (tobacco-free and tobacco-containing) in 27 healthy adults who regularly use snus or nicotine pouches. Researchers measured how much nicotine entered the bloodstream and how much was left in the pouch after 20 minutes of use. The goal was to compare nicotine delivery between products, not to treat any disease.
