Vaping Switch

📄By transitioning from combustible cigarettes to non-combustible nicotine delivery systems like #ecigs, heated tobacco, snus, or #nicotinepouches, smokers can substantially reduce their exposure to harmful constituents. 📌Combustion-free products have been consistently shown to…

"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…

Our RCT published today in @AnnalsofIM found #vaping is THREE TIMES more effective than NRT in disadvantaged smokers (n=1045) After 6m ➡️28.4% of the vaping group had quit vs ➡️9.6% in the NRT group (continuous abstinence, CO verified) More ⤵️ colinmendelsohn.com.au/NVPs @clive_bates

If safer alternatives to smoking are made more expensive, less appealing and less available, the goal of a tobacco-free Europe by 2040 will not be reached. Every year, 700,000 people lose their lives to smoking-related diseases in Europe. ethra.co/news/171-scien…

In France, tourists risk getting a £320,000 fine and five years in prison for carrying #nicotinepouches, but lighting up a regular cigarette is perfectly fine. Tobacco control without #harmreduction makes no sense. thesun.co.uk/health/3513655…

🚨Imagine a person who may have switched to #vaping or another nicotine alternative to quit sees all this!! Media should be factual and objective; otherwise, it causes harm.

Disposable vapes aren't tempting lifelong non-smokers (just 1.5%), but they ARE helping people break free: 19% of recent quitters and 16% of smokers rely on them. Smart policy keeps the quit tools that work. #20YearsofFacts #worldvapeday worldvapeday.eu/get-involved/

A new wave of scientific evidence is challenging outdated narratives and urging public health leaders to catch up. At the heart of this conversation is the role of safer nicotine alternatives, like #ecigarettes and #NicotinePouches 👇👇 vapingpost.com/2025/05/16/fla…

6 EU countries push back on #Spain’s pouch ban. Spain’s government is also facing opposition from the country’s competition authority, the CMC, which has demanded more scientific evidence before it will clear the proposal. clearingtheair.eu/en/post/eu-nei… #thr

11) Conclusions: This shows e-cigs' potential for adults to switch away from smoking, esp. those w/ low RTSS who wouldn't access traditional cessation methods. E-cigs' possible impact on changing RTSS is consistent with best-practices for cessation (doi.org/10.1111/add.12…)

New Study Fails to Show that Youth #Vaping Causes Future Smoking: 👉 umass.edu/news/article/n…

It is regrettable that France is choosing this path. Banning one of the few products that actually has the potential to take over market share from cigarettes is the wrong way forward. Ahead of us now lies the battle over how the EU legislation regarding this will look like.…

Massive review of 126 studies finds NO evidence that vaping leads to smoking. 🚭 In fact, youth smoking declines as vaping rises. #VapingWorks #HarmReduction buff.ly/4k9TAvz

Less restrictive regulation on vaping could improve #publichealth outcomes. 👇👇 🟢 "The larger decline in smoking in New Zealand closely mirrors #vaping rates: in 2023, 9.7% of New Zealand adults vaped daily, compared to only 3.5% of Australian adults." 🟢 "While Australia has…

#Vaping helps more people quit than NRT or non-nicotine ECs.
