We have asked the Committee on Toxicity (COT) to consider the toxicological risks from tobacco-free oral nicotine pouches. The COT held an initial discussion around the paper ‘A summary of data on the bioavailability of nicotine and other ingredients from the use of oral nicotine pouches and assessment of risk to users of the topic (TOX/2021/22)’ at its meeting on 4 May 2021, in which the Department participated.
