What are the immediate health risks associated with the use of nicotine pouches in France, based on the recent study?

\"A new study reveals that nicotine pouches, popular in France, contain up to 6.5 times more arsenic than a cigarette, along with other heavy metals and toxins. The study, by the INC and CNTC, analyzed seven leading brands readily available online and in stores.\", \"The study also found that nicotine levels in these pouches are far higher than advertised, sometimes reaching ten times the amount in nicotine gum. This discrepancy and high nicotine concentration raise concerns about addiction, especially among youth.\", \"The French government's initial plan to ban these products has been stalled, leaving consumers vulnerable to these harmful products and highlighting the need for stronger regulatory action.\"
