Not all its policy prescriptions are workable, yet a rare #WNTD2026 article that identifies India's real problem (toxic SLT) than parrot WHO's agenda.

@WHOPakistan @nhsrcofficial @WHO @WHOEMRO @GovtofPakistan @UNinPak Corrected version below. Suggest @WHO sticks to the science! @SamratTHR

A new study led by researchers from Penn State College of Medicine found that switching to a pod-based salt-nicotine e-cigarette could improve the odds of quitting smoking while meaningfully lowering exposure to harmful chemicals. @mohfw_India

@swimdaily Absolutely, Derek! It’s sad to see the apathy towards the SLT users in India, dominantly economically backward, ignorant and sidelined population groups. They have no opportunity to seek help which has, as I myself notice, sharply declined. Fewer NGOs work in this domain now!

Happy #WorldVapeDay! The evidence is impossible to ignore: countries that embrace safer nicotine alternatives are driving smoking rates to historic lows. If the goal is to reduce smoking-related disease and death, tobacco harm reduction must be part of the solution🚭 #WNTD #WorldNoTobaccoDay #UnmaskTheAppeal

[AVI @vapeindia]

We wish #WorldVapeDay to 100mn switchers for beating the cigarette trap and hope many more will make safer choices in future.

हम #WorldVapeDay की शुभकामनाएँ उन 10 करोड़ लोगों को देते हैं जिन्होंने सिगरेट के जाल को हराया और आशा करते हैं भविष्य में और कम हानिकारक विकल्प चुनेंगे।

This nicotine pouch has been medicinally licensed as a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) product for smoking cessation in Finland since 2016.

It's sold to adults (18+) over the counter in all convenience stores, supermarkets, gas stations, pharmacies etc.

@down2earthindia @pranaylal It is not difficult to verify vapes are not included in UK's life ban. In fact, UK remains the most pro-THR nation in world. Why peddle misinformation like this?

[AVI @vapeindia]

Cheap attempt to mislead Indians by Pranay Lal of @theunion_tblh, a Bloomberg grantee, and this publication. Vapes are NOT included in UK's life ban.

Totally agree with these experts. India can't keep smokers/SLT users trapped through ban on safer alternatives and then also restricting access to NRTs.

Dismantling of USAID along with shrinking western aid is allowing private donors to capture health policy agendas across Global South, which must resist this new form of colonialism masked as welfare.

Argentina has repealed its vape ban. A rare case of a govt admitting bans only fuel black markets. Time India reversed course too.

RR captain Riyan Parag was seen vaping in dressing room. Clarification: PECA bans sale of vapes, but use is not illegal.

This story by @_maqtub claiming vape use is banned is incorrect. Health min 'opinion' isn't law. #riyan

A balanced outcome policy needed for nicotine alternatives #Nicotine #Policy

[Smoke Free Sweden @SmokeFreeSweden]

🚨A new study in @Nature says the world can turn smoke-free by 2040, BUT only if safer nicotine alternatives are embraced.
The research warns progress will stall without harm reduction.
🇸🇪Sweden proves safer alternatives help smokers quit.
🇪🇺EU restrictions risk delaying the end of smoking by decades.
