In Pakistan, there is limited regulation regarding the sale and use of nicotine pouches. These products are often sold without proper labeling, and there is a lack of awareness about their potential health risks. The absence of government oversight and education on the dangers of nicotine use contributes to the growing use of these products among the population, particularly youngsters.
Currently, nicotine pouches are not explicitly banned in Pakistan, but there is a need for stronger regulations and public health campaigns to raise awareness about their risks. The government must work alongside health organisations to educate the public, particularly young people, about the dangers of nicotine addiction and ensure that nicotine products are properly regulated.
