Canada's health minister plans to regulate the advertising and sale of flavoured nicotine pouches after Health Canada approved their sale with no restrictions. Concerns have been raised that these products may be targeting young people.

Canada's health minister says he'll act quickly to shut down a 'loophole' after Health Canada approved the sale of flavoured nicotine pouches with no restrictions on how the product is advertised or sold.

Multiple health groups are warning Zonnic, which hit Canadian shelves in October, could be targeting young people. There are no age restrictions on who can purchase the flavoured nicotine pouches.
