We can't have kids getting addicted to these stupid pouches. We need to get these kids back on cigarettes, like real men.

Yeah, for the past couple of years there were tons of flavours. Now this year all flavours except like "painful peppermint" and other minty things are the only "flavour" allowed on them.

In Finland. forgot to write that

Dk what the "black market variant" is i was too lazy to read.

Yeah, one could assume so, if there are still countries where it's easy to import them from but idk. We probably just default back to regular snus since Sweden is so near and we can get snus from cruises that sail between Swe and Fi

Nic pouches have been around for a decade or so now.

The surge in nicotine pouch popularity has led to a documented public health crisis involving pediatric poisonings. As of March 2026, the data reveals a sharp upward trend in accidental ingestions, primarily driven by the product's candy-like branding and discrete nature.
