A higher proportion of the Roma group exhibited moderate to high nicotine dependence compared to the non-Roma group, with 27.8% having moderate and 24.1% having high nicotine dependence (p=0.029). The study also found that Roma women are less likely to have structured healthcare support (17.2% had monitoring from a specific doctor compared to 78.9% of non-Roma, p=0.020) and more likely to engage midwives in discussions about smoking cessation (56.5% vs 48.7%, p=0.024).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The findings emphasize the need for culturally informed healthcare interventions that enhance the training of midwives in smoking cessation techniques.

Identified trademarks 'Metatine', 'Nixotine', 'Imotine' were used to search for US-marketed products. Ingredient information was compared to US market-leading products, and safety warnings and regulatory statements were assessed in context with US state and federal regulations. Two US-based oral pouch brands, 'MG' and 'Hippotine' pouches, were identified in August 2024, advertised to contain 'Imotine'-trademarked 6MN. MG Pouches are marketed in four flavors, and 'Hippotine'-branded pouches are marketed in two flavors, likely representing banned flavor characterization in US state jurisdictions such as California. 6MN contents range 8-25 mg. Otherwise, the ingredient lists were almost identical across both product lines. Products list extensive addiction and health warnings, including warnings not to operate vehicles. Vendors state that these are not tobacco products, which implies that federal and state tobacco regulations do not apply. The spread of nicotine analogs to additional product categories, such as oral pouches, is concerning, especially given the high declared 6MN contents exceeding nicotine in popular US-marketed oral nicotine pouch products.
