    "body": "<p>Maandag 26 oktober 2026 - Kleurrijke doosjes. Aantrekkelijke smaken. Tjokvol nicotine. Nicotinezakjes, beter bekend als snus, mogen in ons land niet verkocht worden, maar zijn populair onder jongeren. Experten slaan alarm. &lsquo;Er is een nieuwe generatie zeer verslaafd aan het worden, net nu sigaretten stilaan verdwijnen&rsquo;, zegt professor Filip Lardon (UAntwerpen).</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">VRT NWS Pano en Knack slaan de handen in elkaar en onderzoeken hoe de tabaksindustrie ondermeer nicotinezakjes promoot. Want &hellip; de industrie verkoopt een heel andere boodschap: deze zakjes helpen rokers van hun sigaretten af.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Zweden geldt daarbij als het grote voorbeeld, bijna niemand rookt nog, maar snus is er legaal op de markt, &eacute;n alomtegenwoordig. Maar hoe krijgt de tabaksindustrie (of is het de nicotine-industrie?) die boodschap tot bij politici en het grote publiek? VRT NWS Pano en Knack onderzoeken ook de lobby achter de zakjes, net nu Europa de regels dreigt aan te scherpen.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Reportage: Wim
