Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Frumist is a small, closed pod system that holds liquid with nicotine. Nicotine is a strong chemical that can be harmful if it touches your skin or if you swallow it.

What's happening? The pods do not come with clear instructions on how to use them safely. Without this, people might not know how to avoid getting nicotine on their skin or in their mouth.

Does this affect me? If you or someone you know uses Frumist in Ireland, you could be at risk. Children or pets might also be in danger if they touch or swallow the liquid.

What should I do? Stop using the product and ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice before using it again.
