This manuscript presents findings from a study on awareness and use of nicotine pouches among US middle and high school students using data from the 2021 National Youth Tobacco Survey. The study found that while relatively few students had ever tried nicotine pouches or currently used them, more than one-third had heard of them. Current nicotine pouch users tended to use other tobacco products, particularly e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. The study highlights the importance of continued monitoring of nicotine pouch use behaviors among young people to inform public health and regulatory efforts.
