Abstract
The use of nicotine pouches among children and adolescents has unfortunately become a very common phenomenon in the last few years. Until now, children and teenagers could even purchase nicotine pouches themselves without legal restrictions.
Their use is very inconspicuous and difficult for parents, teachers and doctors to identify, which further contributed to their spread. Below I want to demonstrate two different case studies that show opposite sides of the spectrum: Most cases do not proceed as dramatically as the first case study describes, nor as smoothly as in the second case study.
