We @TheBDA stand alongside @ASHScotland in support of a measure under the Tobacco and Vapes Act coming into force this week, making it an offence to sell nicotine pouches to people under the age of 18.
Thanks @BBCRadioScot for having me on to discuss oral impacts of the pouches.

Industry leaders accuse government of changing guidance “on a whim.”
Expanding the definition of ‘unhealthy food’ to include foods high in ‘natural’ sugars is entirely the right course.
‘Natural’ or ‘added’, the damage these products can do is the same. @TheBDA
You don't have to figure it from day one.

The reality is reheated austerity here will have a lasting impact for millions struggling to access care.
