One year after the UK’s disposable vape ban, the ban has had unintended negative consequences:
"35% say they purchased a disposable vape since the ban, indicating an active black market.
For those who have quit, they have replaced disposable vapes with:
Traditional cigarettes (41%)
Nicotine pouches or snus (44%)
Refillable vapes (17%)
Chewing tobacco (12%)"

"Australia’s flourishing tobacco black market has been called a 'total failure of policy'."

#GFN26 session on the impacts of prohibition of reduced harm nicotine products was 50% fascinating and 50% frightening.
The tales from Mexico were truly shocking. Governments are handing over public health to organised crime - with diabolical consequences.
You’ve got to hand it to @O2 - they’re happy to take £90 a month off me for a barely functioning service…and then offer me a £3 satellite top-up to enable me to actually use my phone to make calls.
Piss takers.
Three months and I’m off to a decent provider.
@WHO_Europe This tweet is the product of insanity - evidence ignoring, dogma driven insanity that places lives at greater risk by deterring switching to reduced harm products
WHO is no longer fit for purpose, it’s nothing more than a media arm for a bigoted, ignorant billionaire
@ReemAmirIbrahim on prohibition: "Either the legal market will supply nicotine products, or the illicit market will. There is no third option where nobody supplies it -- because demand still exists." #GFN26
