Denmark has proposed capping the nicotine levels of nicotine pouches at nine milligrams per pouch in what critics have called a \u201cmisguided\u201d attempt to curb nicotine consumption by young people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s simply misguided,\u201d says Patrik Str\u00f6mer, Secretary General of the Association of Swedish Snus Manufacturers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Danish government has, along with support from several opposition parties, agreed on several measures<\/a> designed to reduce young people’s use of tobacco and nicotine. Among them is a proposed cap on the amount of nicotine allowed in nicotine pouches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicotine cap just below the popular choice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the proposal, nicotine pouches sold in Denmark can contain no more than nine milligrams per pouch. Denmark currently lacks a mandated upper limit for nicotine pouches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pouches currently available in Denmark have strengths ranging from a few milligrams to up to 35 milligrams per pouch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the most popular variety among young people is said to be those that contain 10 milligrams per pouch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number pulled out of thin air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Str\u00f6mer, the proposal smacks of desperation fueled by moral panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSweden already has a legally regulated product and lower smoking than Denmark. Why not propose rules inspired by Swedish legislation? It\u2019s a misguided proposal that hurts public health,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does the proposed nicotine cap lack any scientific basis, the Danish proposal also conflicts with the basic principles of free movement governing the EU\u2019s internal market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweden as a role model for the EU<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Str\u00f6mer fears that proposals like Denmark’s could create a harmful “wild west scenario” for nicotine regulation across the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt would be better if countries like Denmark stopped tossing around proposals and instead strive for a common regulatory framework for the entire EU based on what we have in Sweden – the country that\u2019s demonstrated the most success when it comes to effective regulation of nicotine products,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t the first time that Denmark has dropped a bomb when it comes to tobacco and nicotine policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, a bill was introduced<\/a> mandating that anyone born 2010 or later never be allowed to buy any nicotine products. In 2023, a hike in the tax on nicotine products caused the price of a container to rise by 12 kronor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSweden is the only country in the EU that makes reasonable decisions in nicotine policy,\u201d says Str\u00f6mer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnfortunately, our Scandinavian neighbors have chosen to look in the other direction and follow the wave of moral panic washing over Europe’s politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
