Hello Johan. Thank you for reading. Yes, flavour and pouch bans are regulatory risks that my write-up didn't address.
My view is that nicotine pouch bans are an incorrect, knee-jerk reaction from legislators. The reality is that nicotine pouches are vastly less harmful than cigarettes. I can understand governments not wanting non-smokers to take up nicotine products, but preventing current smokers from transitioning to reduced-risk products will literally result in losses of life.
My hope is that as these products become more popular and more well understood, governments will regulate them in a more sensible way, rather than banning them. There should be governmental and societal support for their adoption, within reason, once their enhanced safety profile is better understood.
Hope you enjoyed the write-up and thank you again for reading.
Thanks for the write-up. Thoughts on nicotine pouch bans? Think they have started in Benelux.
