Scientific and Medical Findings

Oral Health Damage: Prolonged use can cause gum recession, inflammation, and lesions in the mouth
No FDA Approval for Quitting: These products are not approved by the FDA as smoking cessation tools, despite being marketed as “cleaner” alternatives
Ongoing Legal Actions
Nicotine pouches—sold under brand names like Zyn®, Velo®, and On!®—are marketed as “tobacco-free” alternatives to smoking and vaping. However, despite their discreet appearance and appealing flavors, these products carry significant health risks and are under increasing legal scrutiny.
Health Risks
- Highly Addictive: Nicotine is a potent addictive substance. Its use can lead to dependency, and in adolescents, it can disrupt brain development, affecting attention, learning, and mood regulation.
- Cardiovascular Concerns: Nicotine can elevate heart rate and blood pressure, potentially increasing the risk of heart disease, especially in individuals not previously exposed to nicotine.
- Oral Health Issues: Users have reported gum irritation, mouth sores, and other oral health problems associated with nicotine pouch use.
- Uncertain Long-Term Effects: The long-term health impacts of nicotine pouches remain unclear. Ongoing studies are investigating potential cellular changes in the mouth resulting from prolonged exposure.
Ongoing Legal Actions
- Marketing to Minors: Baltimore has filed a lawsuit against the manufacturers of Zyn, alleging that the company targeted children with flavored products and deceptive marketing practices
- Class Action Lawsuits: Multiple lawsuits have been initiated against Zyn’s manufacturers, accusing them of failing to warn consumers about health risks and employing marketing strategies aimed at minors
- Regulatory Settlements: Philip Morris International agreed to a $1.2 million settlement over violations of flavored tobacco bans, highlighting the regulatory challenges facing nicotine pouch manufacturers
Youth Usage Trends
Nicotine pouch use among U.S. middle and high school students was reported at 1.8% in 2024. Among these users, 85.6% preferred flavored products, with mint, fruit, and menthol being the most popular.
