History has taught me to wait on the science of newer products that are consumed.

  Seriously. How many times in your life have you seen "ok ok, yah that thing was bad, sorry everyone. but this new one isn't :)"

    I’m taking a low dose (and spread out beyond 1 week) of mounjaro. I realize the risk as GLP long term use is untested, but in my case it’s that; or deal with inevitable health problems from high BP and being only moderately overweight. I don’t see a good reason for nicotine products.

      I didn't mean to say don't take novel but mainstream medications you have a health reason for and are under the guidance of a doctor about. I'm saying nicotine pouches are the tobacco industry's successor to vapes in the way vapes were their successor to cigarettes and some conservatism is warranted in light of that. Or like how every 10-15 years the evidence of health effects of some ubiquitous plastic grows too heavy and 3M comes out with a new one to replace it and the cycle repeats.

        Right. I’m just saying the nicotine pouches have no real reason for being, other than the industry itself pushing it.
