The consumer tobacco marketplace is rapidly evolving. In the last 10 years alone, the popularity of e-cigarettes has risen and multiple new products have been introduced, including non-combusted (heat-not-burn) cigarettes and tobacco-less nicotine pouch products. Little is known about how these new products affect long-term health effects for individuals and the public.
