Safe forms of nicotine use?

Nicotine pouches are identified as a relatively safer method of nicotine use compared to smoking or vaping. Andrew Huberman explains that nicotine pouches like Zin deliver nicotine into the bloodstream, which can enhance focus and alertness without the carcinogenic risks associated with traditional smoking and other tobacco use methods. However, he notes that there are other risks associated with nicotine pouches, such as addiction, increased blood pressure, and vasoconstriction 1.

These pouches are seen as rising in popularity, especially among younger audiences, which necessitates further scientific study to understand their impacts fully and manage their use responsibly 1.

In summary, while nicotine pouches may reduce some risks of nicotine intake, they still carry significant health risks and potential for addiction.
