It comes after schools warn of increase in students using them
A bill banning the sale of nicotine pouches to under 18s on the Isle of Man is expected to get Royal Assent next month (November).
The Nicotine Products Bill 2026 was rushed through at the end of the last administration to close a 'loophole' meaning they could be sold to children.
Two of the Island's schools have written to parents this month warning of the increase in students using the pouches, which are considered to be highly addictive.
The small sachets are placed under the upper lip, releasing nicotine into the body.
Consultant at Public Health Isle of Man Dr Ross Keat says they're expecting the Bill to be progressed very soon:
Welbeck Hotel owner 'overwhelmed' by response to closure
Douglas Council wants residents from all backgrounds to stand in by-election
Motorists warned of debris on Island's roads
