Politics

The National Coalition Party of Finland (Finnish: Kansallinen Kokoomus, Swedish: Samlingspartiet), the liberal-conservative party in Finland, recently decided at its party congress to work towards making the sale of snus legal in Finland.

As Pouch Patrol reported earlier this year, the British government commissioned an independent review of smoking-related health disparities in February. The independent study, led by Javed Khan, was published last week and the recommendations align with harm reduction strategies.

The finish politicians are taking new measures in the battle against smoking. This spring, the political parties will agree on the next Government Platform. We need your help in ensuring that nicotine pouches will be a part of the upcoming discussions.

Nicotine pouches are a less harmful alternative to smoking. Switching from cigarettes to nicotine pouches could save hundreds of thousands of European lives every year. But how should these products be regulated? Will the EU ban nicotine pouches as is the case for Swedish snus?
