Mac’s Convenience Stores Inc. and 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.

Parkland Corp. claims in its own court application that the limit to pharmacy-only sales will increase demand for illegal products “that youth already have access to, and will continue to have access through the contraband market”.
