Nicotine gum does have 3mg. But most common? 6mg. The pouches I’ve seen/used are 5mg, available in 3mg.
It’s the exact same thing - switching the way it’s ingested to one of less harm, with the ability to step down the total amount.
I’m really tired of this idea that adults can’t enjoy sweet, fruity, or mint flavors.
Let adults do what they want please. Me consuming a 20mg citrus pouch doesn't hurt anybody.
But of course the nanny state supporters want to ban everything they don't personally use and starts with the D-word...

Facts are people like a nicotine buzz. It goes well with work and the lack of spit or any smell means it is compatible with basically every job, whereas with a vape you'd have to find a moment to inconspicuously hit it and zero the hit if you can't blow it out openly. You can bring a pack of this stuff anywhere you can't smoke or vape normally. It goes well with drinking. It goes well with smoking weed. The biggest advertisement is probably someone next to you throwing back a pouch and asking if you want one. The second biggest advertisement is the pouch you see spat out in the urinal. They really don't have to do much. It sells itself on its own merits. People have been fond of stimulants for thousands of years now. That isn't going to change anytime soon.

It's much easier to control dose and taper off than cigarettes. Doesn't seem that much worse than something like coffee. I think it has some heart risks, but gets rid of the cancer risk of cigarettes and dipping.

I bet tucker carlson's support has converted exactly zero users towards these products. I still think they are sold basically on their own merits and from the fact they are in every gas station and convenience store on the planet at this point, and people really want to use nicotine because again, stimulants have a lot of merits and utility for people.
