A recent study published in the JAMA Network revealed a nearly doubling of nicotine pouch use among teens from 2023 to 2024, highlighting a shift in teenage nicotine consumption habits away from e-cigarettes. Researchers surveyed over 10,000 high school students and noted that while pouch usage surged, traditional vape use had decreased. The study's author, Adam M. Leventhal, expressed surprise at the sharp rise, attributing the appeal of pouches to their discreet nature, allowing teens to use them without detection in various environments, contributing to ongoing health risks associated with nicotine use among this demographic.
"We noticed that nicotine pouch use nearly doubled from 2023 to 2024 among teens, while e-cigarette use is declining, indicating a significant shift in preferences."
"Surprisingly, teens are increasingly turning to products like Zyn for nicotine; their discreet nature allows continuous use without detection by parents or teachers."
