Weighted proportions and 95% confidence intervals for pouch ever and current use among adults over time, and in 2024 among youth and adults overall, by socio-demographics, mental health, tobacco smoking, vaping, past-12-month gambling, cannabis, and alcohol use; for youth also family members\u2019 smoking and vaping.

Among youth, 3.3% (2.7-4.0) reported ever use, including 1.2% (0.8-1.6) reporting current use. Ever use was associated with the use of other addictive products. Among adults, ever use was also more common among younger groups (18-24, 25-34, 35-44 vs. 55+), males, and those in rented accommodation or receiving mental health treatment. Among youth, ever use was also more common among those in London than elsewhere in England.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pouch use in GB is rare with about 1 in 100 youth and adults reporting current use.

It is currently concentrated among those with experience of nicotine use. However, given the higher levels of use among young adults and teenagers, consideration of regulation may be required to minimize uptake among groups that would otherwise not have used nicotine-containing products.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ntr\/ntae295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,3]],"date-time":"2024-12-03T15:28:10Z","timestamp":1733239690000},"page":"213-222","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Prevalence of Nicotine Pouch Use Among Youth and Adults in Great Britain\u2014Analysis of Cross-Sectional, Nationally Representative Surveys"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6503-6854","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leonie","family":"Brose","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"SPECTRUM Consortium ,","place":["UK"]},{"name":"Addictions Department, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King\u2019s College London , London ,\u00a0","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Bunce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Action on Smoking and Health , London,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hazel","family":"Cheeseman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SPECTRUM Consortium ,","place":["UK"]},{"name":"Action on Smoking and Health , London,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026012207222947400_CIT0001","article-title":"Snus: what do nicotine pouches do to your body","volume-title":"Independent","author":"Taylor","year":"2024"},{"key":"2026012207222947400_CIT0002","article-title":"I took \u2018snus\u2019 with my 17-year-old and now I\u2019m warning all parents","author":"Whitehead","year":"2024","journal-title":"Metro"},{"key":"2026012207222947400_CIT0003","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2024","journal-title":"Have you heard of white snus?
