'They are nearly impossible to detect' - schools issue warning on 'snus' nicotine pouch trend
Briefly

Principals have reported that the strength of some unregulated "nicopods" may cause irritability among students, making it difficult to ascertain the extent of their use across schools.
The unregulated nature of these pouches poses significant challenges, as they are marketed outside existing laws governing tobacco products, leading to rising concerns among school administrators.
The notice to parents from the Dublin school emphasized the stealthy nature of these products, being odourless and small, making detection nearly impossible within school environments.
Schools are increasingly vigilant about the presence of these pouches, noting that while traditional smoking rates among teens are low, nicotine addiction issues persist due to accessible alternatives like vapes and pouches.
