People smoke for nicotine. They die from the smoke.

Oral nicotine pouches contain no tobacco leaf, no smoke, no ash, no tar.

For many smokers, they are a practical way out of deadly cigarettes.

Don’t ban the exit door 🚭 #Nicotine #Smoking

Young people should not use nicotine, and every effort must be made to prevent youth uptake. Smoking kills, but adults who cannot quit nicotine deserve access to safer alternatives that can help save lives #Nicotine #TobaccoControl #HarmReduction #THR

Nicotine is addictive, but it is not the primary cause of smoking-related cancers. The overwhelming harm comes from the toxic chemicals produced by burning tobacco. Evidence-based policies should distinguish between combustible cigarettes and lower-risk nicotine alternatives.

As countries around the world embrace tobacco harm reduction and see smoking rates fall, African policymakers must not be left behind. Science, not fear, should guide regulation 🚭#TobaccoHarmReduction #PublicHealthAfrica

Why do adults need flavours in safer nicotine products?

Many smokers trying to quit don’t want tobacco taste. Flavours help break the link with cigarettes. They’re key to becoming smoke-free

This World No Tobacco Day, the route to a smoke-free future is clear:

Responsible regulation that protects youth while keeping safer alternatives available to adults #WorldNoTobaccoDay #WNTD #WNTD26

On World No Tobacco Day, we need to follow the science.

Safer alternatives are the key to becoming smoke-free. #WorldNoTobaccoDay #WNTD

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

As Africa marks World No Tobacco Day, calls are growing for tobacco control policies that go beyond prohibition and embrace harm reduction, safer nicotine alternatives, and evidence-based public health solutions tailored to African realities.

“Governments can make efforts to decrease youth use and enforce robust age verification systems while still allowing adult smokers access to regulated lower-risk alternatives.This is not a contradiction. It is what evidence-based regulation looks like.”

Nicotine e-cigarettes reduce harmful chemical exposure, help smokers quit https://t.co/LSgBAm6a6V

"The main question isn’t whether smoke-free nicotine products should be regulated-they should. It’s whether regulators will recognise how much safer these options are compared to traditional cigarettes and change their policies to reflect that." https://t.co/T9RWgpFRJM

Quitting smoking becomes easier when smokers have access to safer alternatives like #vapes, #nicotinepouches. Sweden has cut smoking rates to around 3.7%-5%, becoming the world’s leading smoke-free success story, while countries like the UK & Japan have also seen major declines linked to safer alternatives. Harm reduction saves lives. 🚭

[Campaign for Safer Alternatives @GoingSmokefree]

Kenya’s smoking rates remain far higher than Sweden’s because Sweden adopted smarter nicotine policies, separating combustible cigarettes from less harmful nicotine alternatives. Access, affordability, and accurate risk communication helped Sweden become smoke-free. Kenya can learn from this harm reduction approach #Nicotine #Policy #THR

'A new survey among adult smokers in South Africa found strong support for risk-based tobacco regulation, with eight in 10 respondents backing policies that differentiate between cigarettes and less harmful alternatives' #SouthAfrica #SaferAlternatives https://t.co/wq41UEwAT5

“Strengthening collaboration” sounds great until you ignore what’s actually driving illicit trade.

@GoingSmokefree #InternationalHarmReductionDay Katika Siku ya Kimataifa ya Harm Reduction, tunasema wazi: Tobacco Harm Reduction inaokoa maisha.Sayansi, si hofu, ndiyo njia ya kulinda afya ya umma #Tanzania

[Campaign for Safer Alternatives @GoingSmokefree]

On #InternationalHarmReductionDay, we recognize that saving lives must come before ideology.

Tobacco Harm Reduction gives millions of smokers access to safer nicotine alternatives, reducing disease and offering a real pathway away from combustible tobacco.

#THR is not the enemy of public health. It is one of its greatest opportunities. #HarmReductionDay
