I am really worried about the increase in the number of young people using these products, especially between the ages of 16 and 24. In 2022, it was less than 1%; by 2024 it was up to 3.6%. I can see these figures going up and up. If we look to other jurisdictions—we have had a briefing saying that we need to be careful with direct comparisons—we see that in Sweden, 25% of 16 to 29 year-olds are snus users. That is incredibly worrying. The pouches are easily available online and in supermarkets and corner shops. They cost £5 for a pack of 20. I am sure there will be a lot more debate on the different flavours there are.
