"If we could take half of the billion smokers and switch them off a deadly cigarette to a #vape it would change health care systems around the world." @DrMtyndall filtermag.org/mark-tyndall-t…
Thanks for writing this @rights4vapers I just published a book on vaping - marktyndallauthor.com - based on personal experience, science, and principles of harm reduction. I was told I could not be part of the program. #vapingsaveslives #CPHA
"The 2025 Canadian Conference on Tobacco and Nicotine (CCTN25), is being pitched as a space for “dialogue” and “collaboration.” But this is no public health conference." @papaioannoy has some words for the @CPHA_ACSP rights4vapers.com/open-letter-to…
📢 The upcoming TPD revision must be driven by evidence, not fear. Europe's access to safer alternatives is at stake. We call for proportionate, science-based regulation—not blanket bans. #TPD3 #harmreduction #vaping taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/news/european-…
This is peak anti-vaping madness. 100k for a position dedicated to spreading misinformation about the world's most effective smoking cessation tool and tobacco substitute. What else could @UniMelb spend this money on? Teaching? Mental health services? seek.com.au/vaping-jobs/in…
Vaping is undeniably a safer alternative to smoking. cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/c…
Vaping or e-cigarettes can impact your heart, lungs, and other organs. It’s not a recommended method for quitting smoking and is not a healthier alternative to smoking. Find out more about how to quit vaping at: pulse.ly/o3zhgu6jie #QuitVaping #TakeBackControl…
If we DID manage to pinch Gyokeres from under the Gooners' noses, and we also managed to secure a decent keeper, I'd call that a not too shabby transfer window.
If you make it harder to vape, you make it harder to quit smoking. On July 1, Roy Morgan Research released its latest Single Source survey findings on nicotine habits under the headline, “Smoking increases among young Australians since ‘vaping sales ban’ in 2024”.
Great to see news media actually questioning the government line on tobacco/nicotine control. These policies are failing on nearly every meaningful measure.
Exclusive: Roy Morgan data showed rising nicotine use among 18–24-year-olds. Within days, the report was taken down. Critics say it embarrassed the government. Others say it challenged tobacco control orthodoxy. satpa.pe/A1pGifx
Non combustion nicotine saves lives! Sweden is now smoke free thanks to snus and vaping! #VapingSavesLives #AdultsLikeFlavors #VapingIsNotSmoking #TobaccoHarmReduction
Sweden is showing the world that harm reduction works. 🏆 🇸🇪 Today's WVA #tbt is with @JohanNissinen highlighting how Sweden’s progress in the fight against smoking makes it a global role model for effective policies. That’s why Sweden it’s one of our #ChampionsOfChange!
Brilliant article by Fiona Patten ! “When it comes to reducing the harms from smoking, Australia finds itself cast as the global village idiot – clinging to policies that perpetuate harm, empower criminals, and squander opportunities to save lives.” archive.is/2025.07.23-192…
Sweden’s #smoking decline is credited to smokeless #nicotine products, led by researcher Karl Fagerström. #Sweden clearingtheair.eu/en/post/smokel…
🚨 Tobacco kills 8.5M people every year - more than COVID’s entire global toll. And it's rising... It's time for serious tobacco harm reduction. Watch the full #GFN25 panel discussion reflecting on 20 years of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
Lung cancer mortality per 100,000 males, age 40-69 Sweden and USA 1950-2023. What accounts for the difference? Also, amazing US decline post-1985. See also the cool charting interface on the @IARCWHO cancer trends and dataviz site: gco.iarc.fr/overtime/en/da…
Drink Driving Kills. Plan your journey home. Never Ever Drink and Drive.
Despite its aim to reduce global consumption of cigarettes, the impact of the WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on tobacco use has been heavily contested, particularly in relation to low-income countries.
This Gyokeres Gunners saga has an almost Clive Allen feel to it. Say nothing.
Let's hope this is true 🙏🏼 google.com/amp/s/www.mirr…
Can the "broken" peer review system be fixed? @ArielleSelya took to the stage at #GFN25 to analyse the current state of academic publishing in 2025.
Shutting down for a coupla weeks with a few quid in my pocket, seventeen books in the United top 100, 2 number 1's on Amazon, since start of year. Two books launched in Naples, and I'm absolutely shattered! Stay chilled people and don't forget to breathe. x
