South Australia has banned the sale of nicotine pouches, the first such ban of its kind in Australia which will remove the highly addictive product from tobacco stores statewide. From January 30, nicotine pouches — which were rising in popularity across South Australia — will fall under the same controls as illegal tobacco and e-cigarettes. Anyone caught selling the now illegal nicotine products will face stiff penalties including seizure of the products and fines up to $1.5 million.
“From today, nicotine pouches are banned in South Australia as part of our ongoing fight against the illicit tobacco and vape trade,” he said. “This is about stopping the next dangerous nicotine trend taking hold of our kids. “Big tobacco has been using vapes to try to get kids hooked, and their new weapon is nicotine pouches. We won’t allow it. “We’re not going to let them use other new products like nicotine pouches to get kids addicted.
