The decisions entry into force would mean that the letting out of nicotine pouches containing 20 mg nicotine a pouch or more would be forbidden. The decision is made due to a modified interpretation of the legislation on medicine which has led to a deregulation of nicotine pouches.A change of the legislation on tobacco, with the purpose of regulating nicotine pouches, is in progress on Finland. However, it is unclear when that legislation can come into force.
