Considerate Pouchers responds to health ministers' call to ban nicotine pouches
A call to ban nicotine pouches treats absence as a solution. In practice, it can remove a smoke-free option from adults who want nicotine without returning to cigarettes, while pushing demand into less accountable channels. The more serious question is not whether pouches should exist, but how they should be regulated: age limits, product standards, clear labelling and honest information about relative risk. Public health should control the market, not pretend it can make consumer demand disappear.
