If you want to stop vaping, it is easy. Pick up a refillable device, and liquid in the strength you need, then at your own pace lower nicotine to zero over time, then stop. Cigarettes don’t have that option. Plus 1200% more harmful than vaping. Please ask them to try that.
And here are some of our stories!! aliveadvocacymovement.com/blog/categorie… No longer will we be ignored!!
I found my reason to quit smoking, I found a pathway off smoking with vaping! Many millions have! All sorts of people! So when the @Lungfoundation or any other big quit racket NGO distracts you from the facts about vaping, tell them to stop spreading their cancerous…
It's always worthwhile to read @opinion_joe's words on this topic. thefp.com/p/time-to-clea…
🔍 Most teens who try vaping quit within a year, says a new U.S. study. Over 50% stopped in 12 months, and just 5.6% became regular users. It’s time public health focused on high-frequency use—not brief experimentation. 📖 Read more: bit.ly/45ccaxs #HarmReduction |…
Nietzsche said "Be careful who you choose as your enemy because that’s who you become most like". I've never seen a more fitting example 👇 tabaknee.nl/news/item/3295…
Sweden didn’t slash smoking rates by banning nicotine. It did it by offering safer nicotine. As Karl Fagerström puts it: “Smokeless nicotine is at the heart of Sweden’s smoking decline.” #HarmReduction #Snus #NicotinePouches clearingtheair.eu/en/post/smokel…
Common sense in Sweden! Nicotine abstinence-only NGOs must adopt THR or risk losing government funding. "Moralism in a storm – A Non Smoking Generation is threatened by withdrawn support" Google Translate is your friend: snuset.se/snuskuriren/mo… Cc @cjsnowdon

MUST READ Well-referenced review of research on therapeutic benefits of caffeine, nicotine, cannabinoids and psilocybin. It's time to de-demonize these substances... over the screaming objections of people who suffer from Prohibition Use Disorder (PUD). smw.ch/index.php/smw/…
Finally, a decent article on the long overdue @JuulLabsInc marketing authorisation, which is excellent news - but only a start by @FDATobacco thefp.com/p/time-to-clea… It’s Time to Clear the Air on Juul - by Joe Nocera With quote from me:
This same small suburb (pop. 23,369) had another firebombing only 4 days ago: archive.vn/oWXHy Cc @LivePippas
A tobacco retailer in Mernda has been firebombed overnight. Car into shop around 3am. @3AW693
Australia isn’t just behind – it’s actively running in the wrong direction. This piece by @FionaHPatten nails it while the rest of the world reduces smoking deaths through harm reduction, we’re busy criminalising smokers trying to quit and handing the entire market over to…

Made the switch in 2010 and likewise, I am so so much healthier- I can breathe for one thing! I think the most important thing for me is that I don’t miss smoking at all. In fact you couldn’t pay me to smoke. Amazing.

My statement on the next #MFF ⤵️
The EU Health Commissioner acknowledges that the EU plans to ignore science & common sense that non-combustible nicotine products CANNOT be as harmful to smoking. 95% risk reduction (or more, see: rcp.ac.uk/improving-care…) is mispresented by the EU as "comparable health risks"
3/4 #MFF For the first time ever, we acknowledge that new #tobacco and nicotine products pose health risks comparable to traditional ones. With new market developments and the need to protect future generations, rates should be further assessed.
BEER: Water, hops, barley, yeast, alcohol VAPE: Coil, wick, battery, liquid (PG, VG, flavor, nicotine) More teens drink than vape. More binge drink than vape nicotine frequently. US teen binge drinking kills 4,000 every year. If @US_FDA regulated beer... (1/2) 👇
