regulation
Ireland's new bill puts nicotine pouches under rules for the first timeIreland has never had specific rules for nicotine pouches. A bill now moving through parliament would ban their sale to under-18s, prohibit advertising and point-of-sale display, and "future-proof" the law to cover any new nicotine product. It cleared the Dáil in late June 2026 and is in the Seanad — not yet law.
