U.S., May 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07573319) titled 'The SCAPIS-Snus Study: Atherosclerotic Burden, Metabolic Profiling, and Stress in a Swedish Cohort.' on April 24.
Brief Summary: Historically, snus use in Sweden was very stable, primarily used by about 20% of men and only 4-5% of women. However, the recent introduction of "white snus" (nicotine pouches) has dramatically changed this landscape. Today, women are using snus at nearly the same rate as men, with the sharpest increase seen among young people.
Globally, snus is gaining massive popularity and is heavily marketed by major tobacco companies as a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes. But is it really safe?
