Nicorette Targeted at Children

The Nicorette is targeted at children.

That’s the implication of public health group claims such as ASH that the e-cigarette, safe chewing tobacco such as SNUS and other ‘tobacco candy’ appeal to children.

Safe alternatives to cigarettes – e-cigarettes, smoking tobacco and others – have been repeatedly attacked on the basis that their flavours make them more attractive to children.

(In response, NJOY have stopped selling these flavours.)

Yet, as the commerical below shows, the Nicorette inhaler also uses flavours – Fruit Chill.

The same public health groups are unlikely to attack the nicorette inhaler, though.

The reason? Because pharmaceutical groups like GlaxoSmithKline pay them money, whereas the manufacturers of other safe alternatives like the electronic cigarette do not.
