New survey shows over 1/3 of young people report seeing alcohol-related content from businesses and influencers online. 🚫 If a product is harmful enough not to be sold to children, it should not be marketed to them, online or anywhere else. Marketing regulations to protect children are needed.

Recent evidence shows that young people’s awareness of nicotine pouches is on the rise, while adults are still worryingly unaware of the risks. Big tobacco unfortunately seems to always be one step ahead of legislation! @fastforwardscot.bsky.social #nicotinepouches #health #BBC #youngpeople
