The Irish Cancer Society is warning the Government here must curb emerging products like nicotine pouches.
A ban on single-use vapes starting in the UK today is being welcomed.
It is estimated that five million disposable vapes are thrown away in the UK every week.
However, The Irish Cancer Society is warning the Government here must curb emerging products like nicotine pouches.
It says the state needs to broaden the definitions of what’s included in its Bill to future-proof its own legislation.
Irish Cancer Society Director of Advocacy Steve Dempsey is concerned more teenagers are using nicotine pouches:
