Tobacco-free Nicotine Pouches

I've successfully quit smoking thanks to high strength nicotine pouches, but there isn't much research on the manufacture and chemistry thereof. Are nicotine salts alone carcinogenic?

Wikipedia says that: "Nicotine can form carcinogenic Tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) through a nitrosation reaction. This occurs mostly in the curing and processing of tobacco. However, nicotine in the mouth and stomach can react to form N-Nitrosonornicotine, a known type 1 carcinogen, suggesting that consumption of non-tobacco forms of nicotine may still play a role in carcinogenesis."

So what's the deal? I'm not going to get lung cancer using pic related, but I might get some other kind of cancer?
