What happened
The Cabinet Office is pushing the Nicotine Products Bill 2026 to regulate the sale of nicotine products. The legislation includes plans to ban single-use vapes and flavoured vapes, and introduces tighter restrictions on nicotine products for those under 18. The Bill, which aims to prohibit the sale of items including nicotine pouches, passed the House of Keys but was halted before the Legislative Council.

Why it matters
The legislation seeks to close regulatory loopholes concerning nicotine pouches, which currently fall outside existing controls for age restrictions and tobacco products. The new rules could significantly change the market for nicotine products and vaping devices.
