Abstract

INTRODUCTION Nicotine pouches are a new type of nicotine-containing product that have been marketed in many countries worldwide, generating growing acceptance among consumers. The aim of this study was to assess factors associated with public awareness and use of nicotine pouches among adults in Poland. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 1080 adults in Poland (February 2024). Awareness of nicotine pouches, history of use, current (past 30-day) use of nicotine pouches, as well as perception of harm was assessed using a purpose-designed questionnaire. RESULTS Awareness of nicotine pouches was reported by 24% of the sample, while 9.2% reported ever having used a nicotine pouch product, and 4.3% using a nicotine pouch in the past 30 days. Among all respondents, 60.7% perceived nicotine pouches as harmful as combustible cigarettes, 28.2% perceived nicotine pouches as less harmful, and 11% as more harmful than combustible cigarettes. In multivariable logistic regression model, women (adjusted odds ratio, AOR=1.40; 95% CI: 1.03-1.91; p<0.05), individuals aged <60 years (p<0.05), current tobacco smokers (AOR=2.59; 95% CI: 1.75-3.82; p<0.001), former tobacco smokers (AOR=1.53; 95% CI: 1.01-2.32; p<0.05) and ever users of e-cigarette or heated tobacco (AOR=2.90; 95% CI: 2.07-4.05; p<0.001) were more likely to declare that had ever heard of nicotine pouches. Moreover, individuals aged <60 years (p<0.05), occupationally active individuals (AOR=1.82; 95% CI: 1.01-3.31; p<0.05), current tobacco smokers (AOR=2.71; 95% CI: 1.48-4.97; p<0.01), and ever users of e-cigarette or heated tobacco (AOR=5.29; 95% CI: 2.96-9.44; p<0.001) were more likely to declare ever use of nicotine pouches. CONCLUSIONS This study provides the first national data on public awareness and use (ever and current) of nicotine pouches in Poland. Young adults, current smokers, and ever e-cigarette and heated tobacco users are at higher risk of ever use of nicotine pouches, so policy interventions are needed to protect young people from nicotine pouch marketing and nicotine initiation.

波兰全国成年人对尼古丁袋的认识和使用情况。

导言尼古丁袋是一种新型的含尼古丁产品，已在全球许多国家上市，越来越多的消费者开始接受这种产品。本研究旨在评估与波兰成年人对尼古丁烟嘴的公众认知和使用相关的因素。结果24%的样本表示了解尼古丁袋，9.2%的样本表示曾经使用过尼古丁袋产品，4.3%的样本表示在过去30天内使用过尼古丁袋。在所有受访者中，60.7%认为尼古丁袋与可燃卷烟一样有害，28.2%认为尼古丁袋危害较小，11%认为尼古丁袋比可燃卷烟危害更大。在多变量逻辑回归模型中，女性（调整后的几率比，AOR=1.40；95% CI：1.03-1.91；p<0.05）、年龄小于 60 岁者（p<0.05）、目前吸烟者（AOR=2.59；95% CI：1.75-3.82；p<0.001）、曾经吸烟者（AOR=1.53；95% CI：1.01-2.32；p<0.05）和曾经使用电子烟或加热烟草者（AOR=2.90；95% CI：2.07-4.05；p<0.001）更有可能声称听说过尼古丁袋。此外，年龄小于 60 岁（p<0.05）、职业活跃者（AOR=1.82；95% CI：1.01-3.31；p<0.05）、目前吸烟者（AOR=2.71；95% CI：1.48-4.97；p<0.01）、曾经使用电子烟或加热烟草者（AOR=5.结论本研究首次提供了波兰公众对尼古丁袋的认知和使用（曾经使用和目前使用）的全国性数据。年轻成年人、当前吸烟者、电子烟和加热烟草使用者曾经使用尼古丁袋的风险较高，因此需要采取政策干预措施，保护年轻人免受尼古丁袋营销和尼古丁启蒙的影响。

期刊介绍： Tobacco Induced Diseases encompasses all aspects of research related to the prevention and control of tobacco use at a global level. Preventing diseases attributable to tobacco is only one aspect of the journal, whose overall scope is to provide a forum for the publication of research articles that can contribute to reducing the burden of tobacco induced diseases globally. To address this epidemic we believe that there must be an avenue for the publication of research/policy activities on tobacco control initiatives that may be very important at a regional and national level. This approach provides a very important "hands on" service to the tobacco control community at a global scale - as common problems have common solutions. Hence, we see ourselves as "connectors" within this global community. The journal hence encourages the submission of articles from all medical, biological and psychosocial disciplines, ranging from medical and dental clinicians, through health professionals to basic biomedical and clinical scientists.
