Extra-strong nicotine pouches designed to appeal to children are openly sold in shops, including products mimicking familiar sweet brands. A BBC Scotland investigation revealed a sales clerk in Glasgow sold pouches described as containing 100mg of nicotine, although tests later indicated a level of 17mg. Concerns have been raised by Trading Standards about the attractive packaging and flavors targeting children, with no legal age restriction for purchase. Although less harmful than cigarettes, these nicotine pouches are not recommended by health officials for use.
