An empty recess in a corridor wall where a vending machine would stand, clean and unoccupied.
Where nicotine vending is prohibited the recess stays empty — unless something that is not nicotine goes in it.

The product

Snus

Prohibited, as in every EU member state other than Sweden.

Nicotine pouches

Prohibited. Decree no. 2025-898 of 5 September 2025 bans oral nicotine products — pouches, pastes, gums, lozenges and comparable forms — excepting medicines and medical devices. It took effect on 1 April 2026. The Conseil d’État partially suspended the decree by order of 22 December 2025, but the prohibition on sale, offer, transfer, acquisition and use was not disturbed.

What you may put in a machine here

The prohibitions on this page are written for tobacco and nicotine. They do not reach a pouch that contains neither.

  • Snus

    No

    Snus may not be sold in France at all.

  • Nicotine pouches

    No

    Nicotine pouches may not be sold in France at all.

  • Nicotine-free pouches

    Yes

    Neither a tobacco nor a nicotine product, so France's prohibitions on this page do not apply. Ordinary food and consumer law does.

  • Caffeine & energy pouches

    Yes

    Neither a tobacco nor a nicotine product, so France's prohibitions on this page do not apply. Ordinary food and consumer law does.

How you may sell it

From a machine

Closed

May it be sold from a machine?

No lawful vending route exists, because the product itself is prohibited. Treat as closed unless the decree is amended or annulled.

On display

Closed

May it be shown — shelves, cases, branded coolers?

Moot — the product is prohibited.

We work with suppliers across every pouch format and the machines and coolers that dispense them. What we can offer in France is set by France’s own rules, above — not by what we stock.

Nicotine is closed in France, as the page above sets out. Caffeine and nicotine-free pouches are not nicotine products, so those prohibitions do not reach them — and that is what we can match you with here. We do not sell, install, stock or service equipment ourselves.
