Nicotine: Products
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when age of sale restrictions will be brought into force for nicotine pouches.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The Tobacco and Vapes Bill will stop vapes and nicotine products from being deliberately promoted and advertised to children, to stop the next generation from becoming hooked on nicotine.
The bill includes a range of new regulation-making powers for the Government. Proposed regulations will be consulted on and subsequently laid. They will be implemented as soon as possible after the Tobacco and Vapes Bill has received Royal Assent.
The new age of sale restrictions for nicotine pouches will come into force six months after Royal Assent.
