France to Ban Nicotine Pouches

The French government plans to ban nicotine pouches, citing concerns about underage use.

In an interview with Le Parisien published on Oct. 30, Health Minister Genevieve Darrieussecq said that pouches “are dangerous products because they contain high doses of nicotine.”

“The marketing of these products is directly targeted at young people, and I hope that we can protect our young people,” Darrieussecq was quoted as saying. She added that the ban will be announced in the coming weeks.

Nicotine companies have been marketing “modern oral” products as safer alternatives to smoking cigarettes. But according to Darrieussecq, they can be just as dangerous, “especially when they are used not by former smokers but by young people,” she said.

She argued that the pouches risk inducing nicotine addiction and serve as an entry into smoking.

Bígí Linn

Is féidir le galúchán 200 milliún duine a shábháil agus tá ról lárnach ag blasanna maidir le cabhrú le daoine a chaitheann tobac éirí as. Mar sin féin, tá lucht déanta beartas ag iarraidh blasanna a theorannú nó a thoirmeasc, ag déanamh ár n-iarrachta deireadh a chur le básanna a bhaineann le caitheamh tobac i gcontúirt.
