Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batavia, NY — With students back in school this month, public health leaders from Tobacco-Free Genesee, Orleans and Wyoming counties (TF-GOW) say it’s important to be aware of the risks of vaping, as well as a new nicotine product called nicotine pouches. Many users say they\u2019re a safer way to use nicotine, but that is not the case.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working with schools and communities the last several years cracking down on vaping, but there\u2019s another addictive nicotine product gaining popularity among teens: oral nicotine pouches,\u201d says Brittany Bozzer, Reality Check Youth Outreach Coordinator for Tobacco-Free GOW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Bozzer, the pouches are smokeless, and teens tuck them into their upper lips\u2014making them harder to detect. They are sold in small containers under different brand names, including Zyn, Velo, Rogue and On!, and come in a variety of youth-friendly flavors including mint, fruit, menthol, coffee, and cinnamon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
