Sweden 🇸🇪 has reduced their smoking prevalence to 5.6%. Their #harmreduction approach explained👇🏾1) #snus 2) allow adults access to a range of risk-reduced alternatives to cigarettes 🚬 eg #vaping 3) trust consumers to choose. #inspiring https://t.co/NyeT25WszT
At midnight vape products with flavours are being effectively removed by the regulated market. I think the Quebec government is dressing up as tobacco executives this Halloween.
👇🏾Could be relevant to NZ because single-use / disposable vapes have been banned AND by stealth, as not consulted on, most pod systems will be banned from March due to applying same restrictions eg must have removable battery - a win for anti-#vaping disinformation (lies)
@BrianTe05976097 @AnneCla70780917 So "protecting hard earned cash" is the new euphemism for "drug charges" then is it? If he hadn't pushed us out into oncoming traffic while we had kids in the car, I might be more forgiving
Just made public🤩our 5min video on barriers & facilitators to switching from 🚬 to vaping for Global Forum on Nicotine, Warsaw @GFNicotine#GFN2023 https://t.co/Eka2c0XPyh
“How can any health professional, policy analyst, or politician sleep at night when such a large preventable cause of death, smoking, is not addressed? Why are we not choosing to reduce the numbers of smoking deaths? It is preventable, and Sweden is an example of this” -Dr. Marewa Glover (@MarewaGlover)
22/06 at 9:30: #GFN23 workshop 'Facilitators and barriers to switching or quitting: context matters' will explore how some of those most at risk from smoking-related harms are so often overlooked in the THR debate https://t.co/5KzQtfo9kd @JoodiG@vaptom 5/5
@carissaduring Concluding the session, Dr Human asks why policy makers worldwide are letting people die needlessly when the lessons from Sweden show how many lives could be saved, and urges attendees to take the report to policy makers in their own countries.
#SmokeFreeSweden
Great input in our workshop: Barriers & Facilitators to Quitting/Switching to low-risk alternatives to smoking 🚬 for eg: Asia; Latin America; women; ppl on low-income @GFNicotine#GFN23 Warsaw
@TahirTturk@VapingAlliance@MarewaGlover@Dow_Uni Don't forget to include everyone on your hit list , including everyone that has ever received government funding in countries where tobacco is taxed .. coz , you know, "blood money"
I am sorry but banning vaping because you are anti nicotine is like banning protection against rape because you believe women shouldn't be out of the kitchen. Deadly ideology by any other name still stinks #vapingsaveslives
Grab the popcorn. @minhealthnz incompetent Vaping Regulatory Authority tells @BATplc to "issue correction". Ohh that got to sting. Better wheel out the KCs - https://t.co/CiIayZ4WsI
@JonathanFoulds@JonFell73@Clive_Bates@devoidofbreath NZ Public Health regulations must address a specific health issue, must be proven to be effective to address that issue and must be the least restrictive measures available to mitigate. The measures in place were already working.
