Snus, nicotine pouches and cardiovascular disease: Evidence, mechanisms, and the challenge of novel nicotine products

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Conventional Swedish snus is used by millions in Scandinavia and increasingly worldwide, yet its cardiovascular effects remain poorly characterized. The emergence of nicotine pouches—commonly referred to as ‘white snus’ in Sweden—that deliver comparable nicotine without tobacco constituents adds complexity to a heterogeneous landscape and ...

Evaluating Harm Reduction Advice From Large Language Models

Drug and Alcohol Review, Volume 45, Issue 7, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Large language models (LLM) and generative Artificial Intelligence are increasingly providing health information. We have applied a novel method to evaluate the harm reduction information generated by popular LLMs. We focused on the filtration of oral medications for injection and the availability of local harm reduction services.
