More and more children aware of nicotine pouches, charity warns
A charity warns of increasing awareness and use of nicotine pouches among youngsters, lacking clear health effects. A survey reveals rising teen exposure, with 4% having tried them. Usage is up among adults aged 18-34, driven by aggressive marketing. Though less harmful than smoking, no regulations exist on nicotine strength or marketing. Parliament is considering the Tobacco and Vapes Bill to ban advertising and sales to under-18s. Concerns about tobacco industry tactics targeting youth have sparked calls for urgent government action. The Bill aims to protect minors and regulate product promotion, flavors, and packaging.
