Nicotine pouches
Date: 25 Oct 2024
We are aware of some reports in the South West of nicotine pouches being an issue within school. There is no official position statement on this but Public Health do not recommend nicotine pouches for either recreational use or as a quit aid for at any age, this is a non-medical product and only regulated under general consumer product safety regulations not within regulations for either tobacco or e-cigarettes.
In summary we should not recommend nicotine pouches and stick with NICE guidelines of NRT, medication and or nicotine vapes.
