Nicotine pouches helped me quit vaping – but now I'm addicted
Johnpaul began using nicotine pouches to help him get off vapes – but says it just led to another one stage he was using 15 pouches a day, although the 16-year-old has now cut back to experts say the pouches – small sachets that fit between the top lip and the gum, nicknamed "snus" by some teenagers - are addictive and may have other harmful side are largely unregulated in the UK and there is currently no law to stop children buying campaigners fear that the ban on disposable vapes which comes into effect on 1 June could see more young people turning to the stronger nicotine pouches. Johnpaul started using the pouches as a coping mechanism, and to help him get off vapes."It just led to another addiction," he said. "It's just an instant hit. It makes me forget my surroundings."I'm not going to say I don't enjoy that, I do, but there are still a lot more negatives to it than there are positives."Johnpaul is working with other young people to raise awareness about nicotine pouches as part of a project with the charity Fast Forward and the Skills Training Programme at West Lothian packs contain age restriction warnings, Johnpaul says he has no problem buying them."At the moment, I really don't want to stop, but I definitely want to cut down and cut down the amount of milligrams I'm taking."Just keep it as low as I can, so it'll be a lot easier to quit when I feel that I'm ready to." Lee, 16, says he and most of his friends use nicotine pouches – although he wishes he had never started."Most times people wouldn't know because it's tucked away in your gum and sometimes you can push it up so people really can't see it," he said."I've tried to stop before, but it's something you can get highly addicted to, which is quite a bad thing."If I could go back and not start, I would."Aleksandra, 16, has tried nicotine pouches, but says they're not for her."It was fine for the first five minutes and after you swallow your spit it doesn't taste good."It burns and it makes you feel sick. It wasn't great."She says the products are marketed towards young people on social media and given away at railway stations, where they can easily be given to teenagers who look older. Leigh Ronald from Fast Forward, which offers health and wellbeing support, says young people are increasingly talking about pouches and looking to find out more says it is likely that they will look for alternatives, like nicotine pouches, when the ban on disposable vapes comes into effect across the UK on 1 pouches contain six to 20 milligrams (mg) of nicotine, while some contain 50mg - about five times stronger than an average pouches are often referred to as snus, although that is a different product which contains tobacco and has been banned in the UK and EU since general use of nicotine pouches remains low in Great suggests that about 5% of adults and 3% of under-18s have tried them – but use appears to be increasing and is higher in some groups, particularly young men. One popular brand reported a 121% increase in sales in approached by BBC Scotland said they did not sell nicotine pouches to McLevy is head of manufacturing at VPZ, which sells vapes, pouches and other nicotine says his firm operates a Challenge 25 policy and that its aim is to help people quit said: "If you've not smoked before, if you've not vaped before, there's absolutely no need to buy a pouch. None whatsoever."It's a harm reduction technique and it's for current smokers to find a way to stop using combustible cigarettes." Dr Richard Holliday, senior lecturer at the School of Dental Sciences at Newcastle University, says nicotine pouches are less harmful than cigarettes - but not risk team recently published an article on nicotine pouches in the British Dental Journal that was downloaded more than 250,000 says more research is needed and that there may be an impact on oral health – such as gum recession."The paper has obviously touched a nerve. I think a lot of people are looking for information on this topic," he Zoe Coyle, a lecturer at the Dental Institute in Edinburgh, also warned that repeated use of nicotine pouches can lead to gum recession and other issues with teeth and lips."I would be concerned particularly about young people using nicotine pouches," she says. Sheila Duffy, chief executive of anti-smoking charity Ash Scotland, says teachers have raised concerns about the pouches, which retail at "pocket money prices"."It's very fast absorbed, it can easily be twice the level of nicotine in nicotine replacement therapy. So this is very highly addictive," she said."Addiction to nicotine in any form opens you up to the whole profile of products – industry knows this."So a kid that starts using nicotine pouches, which are easily concealed, which may be highly flavoured and attractive because they've been pushed through social media, that child is much more at risk of ending up as a smoker."UK-wide legislation is being proposed to ban the sale of nicotine products - including pouches - to Tobacco and Vapes Bill would also stop free distribution and give ministers the power to regulate the flavours, packaging and display of all vapes and other nicotine Scotland say it is a step in the right direction, but fears that the introduction of new regulations will take too long.

John Paul II's hospital stays at Gemelli were much longer than Pope Francis' so far. Here's a look
Pope Francis has spent 18 full days at Rome 's Gemelli hospital recovering from double pneumonia. It's by far the longest hospitalization of his 12-year papacy, and there is no indication how long it may still last. But it doesn't come close to approaching the record-long stays of St. John Paul II during his quarter-century pontificate. John Paul spent so much time on the 10th floor papal suite that he referred to Gemelli as 'Vatican III' — a reference that beyond the primary seat of the papacy in Vatican City, the Polish pope also spent considerable time at the papal summer retreat in Castel Gandolfo, hence Vatican II. Francis hasn't used Castel Gandolfo at all or spent any time outside the Vatican on vacation, making Gemelli increasingly his home away from home. He has started signing off documents that he issues from there 'From the Gemelli Polyclinic.' Pope Benedict XVI, for his part, was never hospitalized at Gemelli as pope. Prior to his Feb. 14 admission, Francis had been hospitalized three times at Gemelli: For 10 days from July 4-14, 2021, for abdominal surgery to remove 13 inches (33 centimeters) of his large intestine; three days from March 29-April 1, 2023 for pneumonia; and nine days from June 7-16, 2023 for abdominal surgery to remove scar tissue and repair an abdominal hernia. Gemelli maintains a permanent exhibit in its lobby dedicated to John Paul's hospitalizations, named its chapel after him and erected a statue in his likeness at the entrance — a statue that has now become a pilgrimage destination for people praying for Francis. Here's a look at John Paul's hospitalizations during his 1978-2005 papacy, according to the Gemelli hospital. May 13-June 3, 1981 — 20 days John Paul was hospitalized after the assassination attempt by Mehmet Ali Ağca in St. Peter's Square. The pope was wounded by gunshots in his abdomen and hand. June 20-Aug. 14, 1981 — 55 days In his longest hospitalization, John Paul underwent a minor surgical operation and was then treated for a 'cytomegalovirus' infection. July 15-July 29, 1992 — 14 days John Paul underwent urgent colonic resection for a large benign polyp. July 2, 1993 — A few hours John Paul had a series of routine tests. Nov. 11-Nov. 12, 1993 — 1 day John Paul underwent surgery for a dislocated shoulder after he stumbled and fell in the Hall of Blessings in the Vatican. April 29-May 27, 1994 — 28 days John Paul had surgery to repair his right hip joint after he fractured his right femur in a fall. Oct. 8-Oct. 15, 1996 — 5 days The pope underwent an appendectomy. Feb. 1-Feb. 10, 2005 — 10 days John Paul was initially hospitalized as a precaution. Then, the strong flu he had contracted caused an acute laryngotracheitis with episodes of laryngospasm and respiratory failure. Feb. 24-March 13, 2005 – 18 days Respiratory problems returned after the flu came back. John Paul underwent an 'elective tracheostomy' to ensure adequate ventilation. After 18 days of hospitalization, John Paul returned to the Apostolic Palace on March 13. He died in his apartment there on April 2, 2005 at age 84, following several breathing and swallowing problems during his final days.

Critically ill Pope ‘slept well', Vatican says, as thousands unite in prayer
Pope Francis 's recovery from pneumonia continued Tuesday, marked by a "slight improvement" in his condition and a groundswell of support from the faithful. Doctors have confirmed the 88-year-pontiff remains in critical condition with double pneumonia at Gemelli hospital in Rome. However, the Vatican said he had resumed work from his hospital room, including reaching out to a parish in war-torn Gaza City – a community he has maintained contact with since the outbreak of the conflict. In a typically brief update on Tuesday morning, the Vatican reported that the Pope 'slept well, all night'. On Monday evening, medical professionals noted a positive shift in some of his laboratory results. As night descended, St. Peter's Square became a focal point for collective prayer. Thousands gathered in the rain to recite the Rosary, echoing similar vigils held during the final days of Pope John Paul II. However, the atmosphere was one of hope rather than mourning, with attendees focusing their prayers on Francis's swift recovery. Presiding over the gathering from the Pope's usual platform, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin acknowledged the global outpouring of prayer and support for the ailing pontiff. He described a chorus of well-wishes rising from around the world, a testament to the widespread concern and affection for Pope Francis. 'Starting this evening, we want to unite ourselves publicly to this prayer here, in his house,' Parolin said, praying that Francis 'in this moment of illness and trial' would recover quickly. The Argentine pope had part of one lung removed as a young man after suffering pleurisy – an inflammation of the membranes that surround the lungs and line the chest cavity. He had part of his colon removed in 2021 and underwent intestinal surgery again in 2023. Francis has been hospitalised since February 14 and doctors have said his condition is touch-and-go, given his age, fragility and pre-existing lung disease. But in Monday's update, they said he hadn't had any more respiratory crises since Saturday, and the flow and concentration of supplemental oxygen has been slightly reduced. The slight kidney insufficiency detected on Sunday was not causing alarm at the moment, doctors said, while saying his prognosis remained guarded.
