New packaging, same poison.

Whether it’s a pouch, a vape, the industry’s goal is the same: to hook a new generation. Don't let the industry fool you—nicotine is designed to create lifelong users.

SEATCA has published a new commentary in the Philippine Journal of Health Research and Development exposing the “less harmful” narrative of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products.

“Harm reduction is about keeping people safe and not replacing one harm with another harm,” SEATCA executive director Ulysses Dorotheo said in a statement for World No Tobacco Day 2026.

[GGTC @TheGGTC]

Ahead of #WorldNoTobaccoDay2026, a group of @GYV_movement members who participated in GGTC-supported AI Advocacy Bootcamp came together to raise their voices against the tobacco industry's latest playbook.

From colourful packaging and appealing flavours to influencer marketing and misleading "harm reduction" narratives, new nicotine products are being designed and promoted to attract a new generation of users.

Using the advocacy, policy, and digital storytelling skills, these young advocates developed this collective message to expose the tactics behind the appeal and call for stronger action to protect youth from nicotine addiction.

The message is clear: addiction isn't accidental. It's engineered.

Young people are demanding that governments place a comprehensive ban on all tobacco and nicotine products and reject industry tactics designed to normalize addiction among future generations.

Algorithms are used to follow you across platforms, making sure you see nicotine products over and over.

We are calling for greater accountability from digital platforms to protect youth spaces.

Gift products and sponsored trips are calculated tactics to normalize nicotine use.

They think they’re being low-key, but we see through the dirty tactics.

[Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance (SEATCA) @SEATCAdotOrg]

If used as intended, tobacco kills up to two-thirds of its users.

This World No Tobacco Day, we expose these tactics and stand with youth to break the cycle.

Flavors in nicotine products make it easier to start and harder to quit. What seems harmless often fuels addiction. Governments must act: ban flavored nicotine products and protect young people.

Spot the hidden ad.

Tobacco and nicotine companies are photobombing our feed with hidden ads to repackage addiction as a lifestyle.

My “For You” page is for me, not for industry manipulation. It’s time to unmask the appeal.

#UnmaskTheAppeal #WNTD2026 #ProtectOurYouth

[GGTC @TheGGTC]

Lobbying and policy manipulation are among the tobacco industry’s most persistent tactics to protect profits and resist stronger regulation.

From funding research that creates doubt, to using front groups to shape public opinion, to pressuring governments through legal and political tactics, tobacco industry interference continues to undermine effective public health action around the world.

These strategies are designed to delay safeguards, weaken tobacco control measures, and keep harmful products on the market for as long as possible.

This #WorldNoTobaccoDay2026, exposing tobacco industry interference means recognizing how influence is built behind closed doors — and why protecting public health requires stronger safeguards against industry manipulation.

Cigarettes remain the leading cause of harm, while other nicotine products are used to recruit new users.

This is not about one product versus another.
This is about ending the epidemic completely.
