PHOTO | FRANCIS NDERITUHealth Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe has declared the registration of nicotine pouches, including BAT’s popular product Lyft, illegal and wants them deregistered. According to a directive communicated to the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, he reckons that licencing of nicotine pouches by the agency contravened the law. Mr Gitali had accused the Pharmacy and Poisons Board of allowing the availability of the nicotine products in supermarkets and chemists. BAT announced early this year that it would build a Sh2.5 billion factory in Nairobi to produce the nicotine pouches.
