New Critique by Haypp Group Warns Seizure Claims About Nicotine Pouches Overstate Animal Study Findings

The animal experiment used kainic acid, a well-known compound that is deliberately used to trigger seizures in mice. Before seizures were induced, researchers exposed them to nicotine pouches or cannabidiol (CBD), reporting changes in seizure severity and brain-related biomarkers.
But a scientific comment published in Nicotine & Tobacco Research argues the findings are overstated and risk misleading the public if taken out of context.
