"We present a case of a 21-year-old male with acute nicotine toxicity through repeated administration of nicotine pouches. Over the course of 12 hours, he consumed 15 extra-strength nicotine pouches (10.9 mg per pouch) as a study tool to prepare for the next-day exams. He presented to the emergency department with bizarre behavior requiring admission for persistent confusion and nausea which resolved after 24 hours."
I know theres nicotine pouch brands with up to 200mg per pouch. Idk how this person ended up in this state but i would guess they werent a regular nicotine user before.
I use nicotine pouches myself, not trying to defend it, its obviously bad. Compared to inhaling the giga cancer smoke from ciggarettes i do still believe it is better though. Although idk which crazy people go for the "end my life instantly" strengths.
