Convenience store firms that operate thousands of outlets across Canada are taking the federal government to court to overturn regulations that restrict the sale of nicotine pouches to pharmacies.
Mac’s Convenience Stores Inc. and Couche-Tard Inc., both subsidiaries of Quebec-based Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., claim in an application in Federal Court that Health Canada's rules restricting the sale of nicotine pouches to pharmacies are unfair and unconstitutional.
The pouch is a small bag that contains nicotine used in the mouth and Health Canada says Zonnic is a form of nicotine replacement therapy, which can help a person quit smoking by temporarily relieving cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Health Canada declined to make anyone available for an interview due to "the complexity of the file."
Quebec and British Columbia both restricted the sales of Zonnic pouches before Holland's order, allowing sales only at pharmacies behind the counter.Eric Gagnon, the company's vice-president of corporate and regulatory affairs, said it was an "extreme abuse of power" to impose the rules on the company's Zonnic pouches.
