Kellie Whitehead’s experience with nicotine pouches highlights the troubling rise of their use among teenagers, particularly as they gain popularity through social media. After trying a pouch herself, she experienced severe side effects, leading her to realize the potential dangers for young users. Research shows usage among high school students nearly doubled, with many viewing these pouches as a safer smoking alternative. However, they pose serious health risks, including addiction and negative impacts on brain development. Experts urge for increased awareness and regulation as this trend grows in popularity among Gen Z.
