Pharmacies only?
My choice is being put out.
By restricting nicotine pouch sales to pharmacies only, federal regulations have created an unnecessary barrier for those seeking to reduce the risks associated with smoking or to quit altogether. This decision does not reflect real consumer behaviour: smokers and former smokers look for alternatives where they already buy their cigarettes—namely in convenience stores, tobacconists, and other neighbourhood retailers.

The Liberal government has suppressed our right to choose our nicotine product of choice, has caused financial harm to plenty of small businesses in my area because of these restrictions, while vapes and cigarettes are completely available everywhere. It does not make sense.

Living in a remote community, I am forced to use “grey market” options for pouches, often receiving Chinese knockoffs that contain unknown contents. The nearest three pharmacies don't wish to stock the pouches, so I am left without other options. I was able to quit smoking the day I received some in the mail from two packs a day to zero instantly. Far safer than vapes or other alternatives. I would like the freedom to choose safely from a variety of options.

Nicotine pouches were the sole reason I was able to quit smoking and vaping and get my addiction under control. They allowed me to better regulate my nicotine intake and avoid damage to my lungs.

Only thing that helps me quit vaping. Everyone already orders it online, but that shipping time delay causes me to revert back to vaping, which is a terrible delivery mechanism for nicotine for health and for quitting, while pouches offer a clean, cancer-free, easy way to take nicotine and also stop nicotine by gradual reduction.

I need pouches to quit smoking!!!!!!!
- Noah Daigle
Pouches have saved my life. I had a zero success rate quitting tobacco. The first time I tried nicotine pouches, I didn’t know if they were for me, but I continued & now I’m 8 months smoke-free. The hardest part I find is getting them over the weekends. When I finish my work shift, medical offices are closed for the day. Leaving me to hope I don’t walk next door to a convenience store for cigarettes.

Chewed tobacco for 17 years; these pouches allowed me to stop. Only being available at the pharmacy hinders availability, and now pharmacies try to lecture about abuse, yet no one gets lectured about cigarettes, weed or alcohol. Makes zero sense.

I find it asinine knowing that nicotine gum and patches are on the shelf, but the pouches that actually work are behind the pharmacy counter with, in most cases, a pharmacist who can arbitrarily say you can only buy one can at a time, and yet other pharmacists will sell a whole roll/box/log of them.
