> “I don’t think they should be sold in youth-appealing sweet, fruity or minty flavors, and they should be limited to what’s authorized for nicotine replacement therapy, no more than 4 mg of nicotine per pouch.”

I’m really tired of this idea that adults can’t enjoy sweet, fruity, or mint flavors.

Has anyone making these claims ever been a proper teenage delinquent? Obviously not. It could taste like bilge water and people would still try to use it because monkey brain wants a buzz.

They do this in Canada, you can only legally get mint, mint, or mint flavours. So people import or buy on the black market, often counterfeit, which tends to burn and taste like crap with who-knows-what-chemicals they put in those.

Let adults do what they want please. Me consuming a 20mg citrus pouch doesn't hurt anybody.
