France has banned the possession, import and use of non-medically approved nicotine pouches, including products like Zyn and Velo.

If you’re traveling to France, do not bring these products with you. The nationwide ban, which took effect on April 1, applies to personal possession and use, not just manufacturing or distribution.

Violations can carry steep penalties, including fines starting at 15,000 euros and possible prison time. In some cases, fines can reach 375,000 euros.

Anyone heading to France should leave these products behind and make sure friends and family traveling with them know about the law too.
