Nicotine pouches can be marketed as 'lower risk' than cigarettes. Is that dangerous?
📍 The outcome
{ "epilogue": "The Food and Drug Administration authorized four new flavored nicotine pouches, allowing them to be marketed as lower risk than cigarettes. Following the decision, experts, doctors, and the Lung Association raised alarms and warned that the authorization ignored decades of evidence and posed risks to youth health.
The coverage of the federal policy shift subsequently quieted without a definitive resolution." }
