    This is a Snus vending machine within a Swedish grocery store, I took the picture last week. Good that they are smoke-free, but they are not at all nicotine-free

      Yep, and what’s wrong with that? If adults want to take a substance, especially one that has significantly fewer health risks than many other legal substances, who am I to stop them?

      And what’s the difference between tobacco-free snus and products that have been approved as “smoking cessation products” for so many years? Absolutely nothing, and you can buy them OTC, just usually a bit more expensive than nicotine pouches.

      If countries truly cared about their citizens health, they’d be banning much more dangerous substances instead of nicotine pouches.
