PRODUCT WATCH ROUNDUP We’ve added new information to ASH Wales Product Watch about nicotine products that may be less familiar. Pouchless nicotine pods have a UK-facing retail listing: these small oral portions have no outer pouch and are not designed to melt. We’ve also added international examples of ultra-thin and semi-gel nicotine pouches, and updated our page on gels, creams, sprays and nasal inhalers. UK or Welsh availability has not been established for those international examples. These updates explain what the products are, what is verified and what remains uncertain. They do not establish how widely any product is used in Wales.
Tell us what you need. We’ll help you find the right route.
Questions about ASH Wales, tobacco control, our campaigns, research, resources, partnerships or professional networks are all welcome.
If your message is about quitting smoking, we will point you to the appropriate stop smoking support rather than offering a clinical service ourselves.
