Denmark’s new limit on nicotine pouch strength to start in July
Denmark will enforce a new law in July limiting the sale of nicotine pouches to a maximum of 9mg. The government aims to protect youth from addiction but faces opposition from vape advocates and harm reduction experts who argue that the restriction may push smokers towards more harmful products. Critics suggest setting a higher limit or focusing on quality standards instead. Smoke Free Sweden supports the harm reduction benefits of oral nicotine pouches over cigarettes, emphasizing the risk of users turning to illegal or unsafe alternatives due to the restriction.
14.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 678,547 current smokers in Denmark.
