The smoking part is definitely worss imo, but I was thinking about nicotine pouches that you can buy.

If you are talking about snus, they aren't harm free but would be considered a form of harm reduction. Last I ready,can still potentially lead to various oral cancers, but at reduced risk.

No, I'm talking about just nicotine pouches. They're always on sale at 7-11 lol. They're a form of Salt Nic.

Interesting, I'm not familiar with this product. Looks to be relatively new and little is known about them. So, no data on efficacy or comparative nicotine delivery to other nicotine products. For now, seems relatively harmless compared to cigs, but gum irritation seems to be a potential issue.

The labels here read a cancer warning, I don’t know why

If you're in California, your microwave probably has a Prop 65 cancer warning on it because eating the plastic would be carcinogenic or something. Where I live, tobacco-free nicotine products only have addiction warnings
