Nicotine pouches can easily be concealed in these containers
Caffeine pouches provide a buzz, and the user feels the caffeine after about 10 minutes.
Each pouch has approximately 56 milligrams of caffeine, about a cup of coffee.
There is no age restriction to buy these products.
Prolonged exposure to these products may lead to similar oral ulcerations found with the use of smokeless tobacco.
Caffeine alone induces a significant increase in blood pressure associated with a decrease in heart rate.
Caffeine could potentially carry negative side effects, such as more heart palpitations and less sleep.
Will stain teeth with prolonged use.
Zyn is an oral pouch that contains nicotine powder and flavorings like mint, coffee and citrus. The pouches are the fastest-growing segment of the tobacco industry.
Nicotine is addictive and can be very hard to quit.
Consuming too much nicotine can cause nicotine poisoning, which will require medical attention.
Nicotine reduces blood flow and oxygen levels and impairs healing in the gums, leading to cell death.
Using nicotine pouches increases the user’s odds of gum disease, gum recession, leukoplakia, decay, bad breath, dry mouth, and bruxism.
Regular use may result in severe gum disease, oral cancer, or leukoplakia.
Nicotine use during adolescence can disrupt the formation of brain circuits that control attention, learning, and susceptibility to addiction.
