The rate of the number of young children who accidentally swallow nicotine pouches has soared in recent years, according to a new study. The study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, found reports of children under 6 years old ingesting nicotine pouches increased from less than 1 per 100,000 in 2020 to more than 4 per 100,000 in 2023 — a 763% increase.
