Description
The Czech Republic looks set to become the main EU advocate of tobacco harm-reduction policy thanks to a change in philosophy among its leaders, with a new decree expected soon that will regulate nicotine pouches. It is likely that if the country successfully incorporates harm reduction into its policy that it could promote tobacco alternatives such as modern oral products. Although snus is illegal in the country (as it is everywhere in the EU except Sweden) chewing tobacco is legal and regulated.
