SA becomes first state to ban nicotine pouches

Nicotine pouches, also known as Zyn or snus, are banned in South Australia due to their popularity, especially among young people. The pouches, marketed as alternatives to vapes and tobacco, are now subject to strict controls and fines of up to $1.5 million for sellers. These small pouches deliver nicotine quickly into the bloodstream and come in various flavors, often targeting children and young adults. The State Government is taking action under new legislation to combat illicit tobacco and vaping markets.
