Compared perceptions of oral nicotine pouches and smokeless tobacco among young adults YoungAdults Nicotine Vaping ElectronicCigarettes Sensoryerception Nicotiana Tobacco PLOSONE YaleMed
By Tarun Sai LomteFeb 5 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in the journal PLoS One, researchers surveyed young individuals in the United States about their awareness/use of and susceptibility to nicotine pouches .
NPs may be attractive to those using smokeless tobacco. However, NPs can be harmful if they get popular among vulnerable populations, including adolescents and young adults. The researchers examined susceptibility to NPs by asking participants who had never used or heard of NPs if they would ever use one in the next year. Additionally, participants indicated if they had ever used e-cigarette devices, hookah, cigars, and smokeless tobacco, among other products. Two sets of independent sample t-tests were performed to determine whether susceptible and non-susceptible individuals should be stratified into distinct categories according to prior NP awareness.
There were no significant differences in product perceptions based on prior NP awareness. Therefore, three mutually exclusive categories of individuals were created to reflect those who were susceptible, non-susceptible, and had used NPs. The mean scores for individual product perceptions between NPs and smokeless tobacco stood at the mid-range of the scale.
