Nicotine strips

Oral, tobacco-free nicotine products in strip or film form. Their classification is unsettled in several markets, which is why they are tracked separately from pouches rather than assumed to follow them.

Position

Where this stands, in words.

Unregulated No specific act is in force. A legal vacuum, not a permission.

Strips are expected to fall within the definition of a tobacco-free nicotine product under Lag (2022:1257), but this has not been confirmed and the exclusions in § 4 of that act — products acutely toxic in CLP categories 1 to 3 — have not been tested against them. Folkhälsomyndigheten does not issue advance rulings. Until the classification is settled no parameter values are published for this category rather than values being carried over from pouches on an assumption.

Commercial sale Unregulated

Classification unsettled
