Youth4Change Wants Your Help: Sign E-Petition to Take Action on Nicotine Pouches Targeting Kids!
Please join us in protecting Canadian youth from the harmful effects of nicotine products by signing this E-Petition to take action on nicotine pouches. Available in a variety of enticing flavours including berry frost, chill mint, and tropical breeze, nicotine pouches are currently legally able to be sold to children of any age in easy-to-access locations such as gas stations and convenience stores. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug that can interfere with healthy brain development in youth. Together, we can urge the Government of Canada to protect youth by:
-
Requiring nicotine pouches to be sold on a prescription-only basis or temporarily suspending the legal sale of nicotine pouches until proper regulations are formed
-
Ensuring no other new nicotine products are approved by Health Canada (except on a prescription-only basis) until adequate regulations are in place
Help make a meaningful difference in protecting the health and future of our youth by signing this petition today!
