Minimum age 18. It applies however the sale happens, so an unattended machine must verify age itself.

The product

Snus

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

Nicotine pouches

Lawful to sell in shops to over-18s, with advertising and promotion prohibited. A government draft law would ban single-use e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches outright, and further restrictions would confine permitted flavourings to tobacco.

How you may sell it

From a machine

Closed

May it be sold from a machine?

Closed. Nicotine pouches may not be sold from vending machines, from self-service systems, or over the internet. The prohibition is specific to the sales channel and applies regardless of any age-verification capability the machine may have. Note this is drawn from legal commentary on the tobacco act rather than from the statute text directly — confirm with GIS before committing, but plan on the market being shut.

On display

Closed

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

Closed for branded fixtures. Advertising and promotion of nicotine pouches are prohibited, which reaches branded equipment placed at point of sale. Note the inversion against vending: Poland prohibits machines and permits shelf sale, Denmark does the opposite.

We can’t help you here — and we’d rather say so.

What you would want to do is prohibited in Poland, so an introduction to a supplier would be worth nothing to you. The detail above is sourced and current — start with Główny Inspektorat Sanitarny.
