This trend could soon become popular in the UK as well.<\/p>\n<p>The marketing and the appeal to young people is clear. Just like with snus, the pouch is placed in the mouth between the top gum and lip so it is discreet and hidden. The aim is to give a quick energy boost which clearly appeals to students but experts fear it could be easy to consume too much, leading to unpleasant side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text  formatted-text--padding-remove-top\">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>Risks and Consequences<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Rob van Dam from George Washington University expressed concern because a single pouch contains as much caffeine as two cups of coffee. <\/p>\n<p>The health impacts of over-caffeination are severe, potentially leading to rapid heart rates, abnormal heart rhythms and seizures. <\/p>\n<p>Moreover, as caffeine is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, overconsumption could lead to symptoms such as nausea, uneasiness, and irritability. <\/p>\n<p>Pregnant women, children, and teenagers are particularly susceptible to these risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text  formatted-text--padding-remove-top\">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>Advice from Experts<\/h2>\n<p>Bini Suresh, Head of Dietetics at the Cleveland Center, London, and a spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association, highlights how these pouches could serve to normalise stimulant use in younger individuals, leading to patterns of dependency.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text  formatted-text--padding-remove-top\">\n\t<div
