Article Synopsis
- Nicotine pouches have gained popularity since their 2016 US debut, raising concerns about their appeal to youth and non-nicotine users, prompting a study on advertising trends from 2021 to 2023.
- The analysis covered 2,147 ads across various platforms and revealed that 84.6% were on social media, with Zyn being the most prominent brand, and most ads promoting flavored products, particularly fruit and mint.

Background: In April 2020, the revised Health Promotion Act and Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance to prevent second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure was fully enforced.

In this study, we report on indoor smoking status before/after the enforcement of the current legislation both regulated and unregulated restaurants and bars.
