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'."

When the video goes live online, I strongly urge everyone involved in advocacy to watch it

Keep an eye out on the #GFN26 YouTube channel https://t.co/xWPml5nOeu

#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.

@HarbTownFC Stop teasing.

@nulasuchet There is no vape/pouch disease and the only cost to the NHS is a negative one due to the savings on treating tobacco-related diseases

@Yesitsrobharvey @RileyTravels They all do that, sir, it’s a cultural norm

@barelytolerabIe Duck for the win

@KateCornell I’m going open source next month, Microsoft have had more than enough of my money

@phil_w888 @jkelovuori @zaruk That’ll be to meet the god who is famously big on billionaires hoarding money?

[Dave @_DaveCross_]

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

Reem’s not wrong

[Arielle Selya @ArielleSelya]

@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

Nobody skewers the insanity in the US better than the Stewart 🤣

Trump’s never-ending Iran peace negotiations have @jonstewart wondering: Is the president really the master negotiator he says he is?
