This sounds like moral panic (not saying that it is). They say things like, “Smith wasn’t aware that using Zyn delivered more nicotine per use than his vape did. In fact, his 6-milligram Zyn has 100 times more nicotine than the 0.06-milligram puff of a vape.” which is a false equivalence, since pouches will stay in your mouth for up to an hour gradually leeching out the nicotine. Then they say things like “it’s just as dangerous as tobacco products”, and then characterise it as a gateway drug. If these pouches are just as bad as tobacco, it needs a much better argument than this article presents. The tone, absurd claims, and lack of information certainly don’t convince me. [Anecdotally I did use Snus (Jacobssons Wintergreen) to quite smoking, and then ultimately quit the Snus. Snus was much easier to quit than cigarettes. The Pavlovian conditioning is so much stronger in cigarettes, as they deliver the nicotine so rapidly that your brain knows that it needs a cigarette.]
