While the use of caffeine pouches among teenagers remains relatively rare, experts and educators are concerned that may be about to change.
Marketing aimed at teenagers of such products is spreading on social media. A school resource officer for the Boise County Sheriff’s Office in Idaho, David Gomez, began noticing the use of caffeine pouches last spring, according to NBC News. The pouches can contain more than 200 milligrams of caffeine, and students have been using them along with nicotine pouches such as Zyn.
