Nicotine Pouches: What's in the Tin, What the Milligrams Mean, and the Catch
Those little round tins by the register: Jerry opens up nicotine pouches. What's actually in the pouch (and what "tobacco-free" really means), where they came from, what FDA "authorized" does and doesn't mean, how to read the milligrams on the lid (per pouch vs. per gram, and why the strength dots don't travel between brands), red flags on a tin, the two catches — how easily the habit creeps and how kids end up with them — plus nicotine tests, quitting resources, and the flavor fight. Legal check as of October 2026, including the hemp dates (Nov 12 and Dec 11).
