Last summer, health agencies across the United States issued a similar plea on social media — children are being sickened by nicotine pouches at an alarming rate.
The health department of Multnomah County, Oregon, for example, warned parents to “keep nicotine pouches away from young children.” Similarly, a network of poison control centers in Florida urged them to “stay informed and vigilant.” The North Texas Poison Center posted on Facebook, “We’re seeing a sharp rise in young children accidentally swallowing nicotine pouches — and even a small amount can cause serious harm.”
