THL criticises government's proposed nicotine pouch law

The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) expressed concern that the proposed legal limit for nicotine content in nicotine pouches, set at 16.6 mg per gram in the latest government proposal, is too high. THL's Senior Specialist, Otto Ruokolainen, highlighted that other Nordic countries, like Sweden, are considering stricter limits, with Sweden proposing a cap of 12 mg per gram.
