CAPHRA Urges Governments To Regulate Nicotine Pouches, Not Prohibit Them
CAPHRA advocates for regulating oral nicotine products to safeguard youth, establish product standards, and maintain enforceable regulations. They recommend creating a separate legal category for nicotine pouches to enhance visibility and control, ensuring compliance through measures like strict age verification and limited marketing. CAPHRA emphasizes that regulation, not prohibition, is key for effective youth protection and control over product quality in South Asia and the Asia-Pacific region. Regulatory frameworks enable authorities to monitor distribution, enforce standards, and deter violations effectively, promoting public health by offering lower-risk alternatives with stringent safeguards.
