Tobacco-free movement takes aim at access to nicotine pouches

Local governments are focusing on regulating the growing market of nicotine pouches, targeting their appeal to young people. Restrictions include bans on flavored products and selling pouches in adult-only stores. Concerns about addiction and youth exposure led to these regulations, with various cities considering similar moves. Despite the rise in nicotine pouch sales, a study shows low adult usage, with the majority also smoking cigarettes. While e-cigarette use among teens is decreasing, nicotine pouch use remains steady. Some criticize the restrictions for favoring adult-only stores and disrupting convenience store sales of nicotine products.
