Isn't there already nicotine patches at pharmacies
totally different product... the patches you need to measure and cut the amount you want to use by dosage...still very manual.... these pouches are if you need a fix... just pop it in your mouth.... each pouch is pretty much a cigarette....philip morris placed their bets on these pouches as the future of nicotine...

any real cases? at least its open & sniffer dog been trained to detect these
Not sure about real cases on cigarettes laced with drugs, but contraband cigarettes can easily have higher nicotine content and flavours to attract youngsters.

more concerned with lethal drugs iike etomidate. i think etomidate is liquid form so can't be laced on cigarettes

whatever currently vape already difficult to control, so i don't think adding another alternative is a good idea

Nicotine pouch is dry product like cigarettes, so I don’t think can be easily laced.
Compared to cigarettes, nicotine pouch does not create secondhand smoke, the issue that govt cannot solve right now.

Secondhand smoke is a serious issue, people are affected by smoking neighbours, errant smokers are smoking everywhere, if not why they made Orchard Road a non smoking zone? Are you a smoker? I am just suggesting a better alternative to smoking and vaping. Individual nicotine pouch can be marked, regulated and taxed.

Just quit, no need to rely on these alternatives.

It is not as easy as u think, govt needs to build designated smoking points aka yellow box and provide ashtrays and bins for cigarette butts, as well as hiring more enforcement officers to catch errant smokers.

Chewing tobacco can be loose product and cannot be easily regulated and taxed, while individual nicotine pouch can be marked like SDPC, regulated and taxed, just like cigarette stick.

Nicotine pouches are small rectangular pouches to be placed under upper lip to deliver nicotine, there is no secondhand smoke produced.

what do u think?


So place between upper lip and lower lip?
ok. Got iT! Didn't know there's such an innovative way to smoke.

I think it is possible to regulate nicotine pouches and mark the individual pouch like SDPC mark on cigarette sticks, the nicotine content and other additive can be regulated and tax can be collected.

what do u think?
Wah lao.. why make until like sanitary pad... why can't they make it into some kind of candy???
