UK Govt is apparently going through with banning sale of tobacco products to future adults. Current adults will still be able to buy cigarettes. The new NZ Govt repealed this policy before it could take effect.

Counselling can increase quit rates, but ecigs also help smokers with no intention to quit (accidental quitters) as it's just better way to get nicotine. #endvapeban

Researchers from the Center of Excellence for the Acceleration of Harm Reduction (CoEHAR), along with colleagues from six global regions (Africa and the Middle East, North America, Latin America and South America, Asia-Pacific area, Western and Eastern Europe), have recruited (on its first wave) a unique cohort of 500 people who vape without an established smoking history, and 260 people as controls, to monitor the respiratory effects of nicotine vaping.

Sweden’s smoking prevalence is down to 5.6%. New Zealand’s smoking prevalence at 22/23 was 6.8%. This is a huge public health achievement. Could NZ catch up to Sweden? – at Auckland, New Zealand
By giving smokers a choice of genuine alternatives, alongside education and tobacco control measures, Sweden is on the cusp of becoming smoke free.

Important blog from THRSP Scholar @amodibecky
"There are no current thematic strategies that seek to help women & girls who #smoke. I believe listening to voices of women & girls who smoke is the first step to solving this #publichealth crisis."

In my country Uganda, women and girls who smoke are considered outcasts, this means that they will face more difficulty in accessing information, accessing safer nicotine alternatives and will be more likely to consume illicit tobacco products. thethr.blog/the-unheard-voic…

Tobacco industry's involvement in e-cigarette trade doesn't cancel the benefits of risk reduction/vaping for 1bn people who smoke. Don't make them victims of TI hate. #HelpSmokers #COP10 @FCTCofficial

It is not a good look for the @WHO, who is bound by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to spend an inordinate amount of time denigrating and slandering consumer advocates when it comes to their #RightToHealth. #THRworks @FCTCOfficial #COP10FCTC

Despite WHO-fuelled paranoia, the pool of nations with vape bans is shrinking (from 42 in 2019 to 33 at present). Now mostly in LMICs, where risk reduction is most crucial, can save most lives.

Robust scientific evidence supporting efficacy of #vaping nicotine as a stop smoking aid just keeps getting stronger. – at Auckland, New Zealand
“The results of this randomized clinical trial found that when all treatments were provided with minimal behavior support, the efficacy of Electronic Cigarettes was noninferior to varenicline and superior to nicotine chewing gum.”
