The education secretary has issued a health warning after ITV News uncovered a huge rise in illicit nicotine pouches flooding the UK. Nicotine pouches - a product growing in popularity among teenagers - are legal and originally designed to help people quit smoking. However, Trading Standards has been seizing tens of thousands of them - often super strength - because they do not meet the legal requirements around labelling or safety warnings. The products are unregulated, meaning there is no limit to their nicotine content, and it’s entirely legal for children to buy them.
