Rapid Spread of "Nicotine Bags" in Gulf Countries Raises Health Concerns
The Gulf countries are experiencing a rapid rise in the use of high-concentration nicotine pouches, which are increasingly popular among young people and teenagers, raising significant health concerns. These nicotine pouches are placed under the lip to be absorbed through the gums; some varieties contain doses that surpass those found in traditional cigarettes, with the potential to cause addiction, high blood pressure, and an accelerated heartbeat. Although they do not produce smoke, their use can cause gum irritation and long-term damage that is not yet fully understood. Medical professionals warn that the long-term health effects remain unclear, emphasizing that the best approach is to rely on approved therapeutic nicotine alternatives to quit smoking permanently.
