It's tough. It even touches on it in the article. On the one hand it's not great in a vacuum that new, more invisible and accessible and socially acceptable nicotine products are out there (especially those more appealing to children). But on the other hand it's actually good to have less harmful alternatives to vapes, pouches and (especially) cigarettes for the purposes of helping addicts quit.

Yeah well I used to smoke cigs so I’ll take the pouches so I don’t smoke. Cigs are fucking evil and disgusting

These have been around forever as a smoking cessation aid, I really don't see the new concern.

Can't wait to try the new nicotine tablets.
