The NZ Vaping Alliance provides commentary on e-cigarette use & vaping community issues.
This tweet from @EricCrampton is spot on. Why did @nzherald run a clearly biased piece of misinformation??? #nzpol #nzmedia
The Otago public health people are doing disinformation, again. The SmokeFree2025 goal was always population average. Easily checked online. Now they're claiming in Herald that it isn't achieved unless achieved for every population subgroup. nzherald.co.nz/nz/why-its-wro…
Another Day Another Vape Study Implies a Causation Where There is None Recent studies highlight how selective reporting and omitted context can distort evidence, fuelling misinformation that undermines life saving harm reduction strategies. Diane Caruana vapingpost.com/2025/07/28/ano…
It’s OK @drleanawen you don’t need to speculate about the “complicated” question of whether ZYN has a public health benefit. The U.S. FDA already answered the question when they authorized the products back in January. They’re appropriate for the protection of public health.
ZYN is the only nicotine pouch authorized by FDA as a better choice than continued smoking. In doing so, the agency findings include evidence that a substantial proportion of legal-age adults who use traditional tobacco products, like cigarettes, completely switched to ZYN. It’s…
These groups do not deserve your money. They are not scientific, not focussed on their mission (lung disease), and mainly focussed on fund raising.

Very good article by Harry Shapiro on @NicotineSP nicotinepolicy.net/authors/harry-…
Excellent commentary by @winstonpeters countering @radionz ongoing hit pieces against NZ First.
Guyon Espiner’s “hot reckons” attack piece this morning is the latest in the long line of what is clearly such an obsession for him - he likely lays awake at night congratulating himself for throwing yet another piece of frivolous mud at New Zealand First. The fact that his…
Spot on comment by @MarewaGlover
NZ MP champions our success at reducing smoking 🚬 among youth, Māori and she didn’t mention but among those with the highest rates — people on the lowest incomes. I hope this is the prelude to reversing the ban on one of the lowest risk alternatives to smoking — oral nicotine…
"Ellie says going back to cigarettes helped her quit vapes in just a few days." Gobsmacking article on the stunning success of tobacco control industry messaging on safer nicotine. #NotAboutHealth #WorseThanBigTobacco #FacePalm refinery29.com/en-gb/vaping-a…
How @BloombergDotOrg opposes e-cigarettes in Brazil. Their grantees are giving iPhones and Apple Watches to young people who submit videos attacking #vaping. It's crazy. direta.org/quem-financia-…
The EU Commission attack on tobacco harm reduction will harm all European smokers but PARTICULARLY the most vulnerable and socially deprived groups, in whom e-cigarettes were found to be 3-TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE than NRTs in smoking cessation. See: acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/AN…

Narcissists attack the things they feel threatened by: -Honest people -Genuine people -Compassionate people -Morally grounded people These qualities expose what the narcissist lacks. Rather than reflect or grow, they react with hostility. To protect their ego, they project their…
