Liberal Leader Mark Carney is out to prove he’s a centrist, says Jay Goldberg .

Goldberg : Carney should take a hard look at the previous Liberal government's approach to nicotine pouches.

The U.S. Federal Drug Administration sensibly took the opposite approach and approved 20 flavours of nicotine.

Goldberg says it's important to remember that combusting tobacco, not nicotine, is having such a damaging impact on Canadians ' health.
