Nicotine Pouches Exposed: Are They Truly Safe? 🚨 | UNTOLD Channel 4 Docs

Strong language.

Tir Dhondy investigates the rising popularity of nicotine pouches in the UK, to find out if they are really as harmless as they appear.

The number of adult pouch users has tripled in the last four years. Delivering a powerful hit of nicotine via the gums, these pouches, often called Snus, can contain up to ten times as much nicotine as a cigarette, are highly addictive, and can legally be bought by children. And Tir quickly discovers that an illegal, more harmful tobacco version is being bought and sold on the high street too. With exclusive access to the Professional Footballers’ Association’s first ever study into pouch use in the sport, Tir reveals the scale of the habit and the impact it is having on players.
