Just a friendly reminder:
„There is high‐certainty evidence that nicotine Electronic Cigarettes increase quit rates compared to NRT, and moderate‐certainty evidence that they probably increase quit rates compared to EC without nicotine.“

La combustión genera miles de sustancias tóxicas. Es la responsable de miles de muertes evitables cada año.
Los productos sin combustión no son lo mismo. La ciencia lo dice. La regulación debería reconocerlo. 🔬

Many people mistakenly believe that e-cigarettes are as harmful as cigarettes, which can slow the end of smoking. Our grantee Movimiento Pro-Vecino is researching these perceptions and their impact: https://t.co/kIZqw35hXh
🇸🇪 Mientras otros prohíben, Suecia demuestra que permitir alternativas como el vapeo y el snus salva vidas. Tienen la tasa de tabaquismo más baja de Europa
Smoke Free Sweden has submitted our five-point plan for a smoke-free Europe in response to the European Commission’s call for evidence on the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD)!
💡In the five points, we urge the EU policymakers to:
1️⃣ Adopt a harm-reduction approach.
2️⃣ Allow access to lower-risk nicotine alternatives, like in Sweden.
3️⃣ Regulating products based on their actual health risks.
4️⃣ Strengthening measures to prevent youth access.
5️⃣ Create a consistent EU framework that supports harm reduction and minimises risks such as increased smoking and illegal trade.

The Local Government Association wants vapes to be treated like cigarettes and for bans on smoking and vaping to be extended to cover more areas such as national parks https://t.co/y02fizQgIQ @LGAcomms#vape#vapingnews#vapeban#smokefree
Rural communities often face greater barriers to #quitting#smoking from limited healthcare access to higher stress, stigma and fewer cessation support options.

CBC Marina has been busy doing the dirty work of tobacco control We don't have the resources that she has. Since she doesn't believe in balanced reporting, we decided this requires a bit of citizen journalism. Watch on our @tiktok_us

Identity theft doesn't just steal your money; it can shatter your life. Imagine your reputation ruined, your career destroyed, and being perceived as a threat, all because someone else stole your identity.

4,300 American youth die from alcohol each year but not one from vaping nicotine eliquid. Eliquid flavors help smokers quit and stay quit yet governments ban them in vaping but not in alcohol. Demand science-based policies. Learn more: https://t.co/8rgZglGCMd #VAEP#HarmReduction
Read that again. Mental anguish. Forced to perform extra exercise. Because she ate too much Pirate’s Booty. That’s who we are dealing with. That’s the person who is the most-quoted voice on nicotine policy in the news media.
Harm reduction should meet people where they are, including adults who smoke.

🔬⚠️ Eine viel zitierte Studie, die einen Zusammenhang zwischen E-Zigaretten und Lungenerkrankungen herstellen wollte, wurde zurückgezogen.
Ein wesentlicher Kritikpunkt: Die untersuchten Dampfer waren überwiegend ehemalige oder aktuelle Raucher mit teils langjähriger Tabakkarriere. Treten in dieser Gruppe Lungenerkrankungen auf, ist es naheliegend, dass diese durch das Rauchen verursacht wurden – nicht durch das spätere Dampfen.
Genau solche methodischen Schwächen können zu irreführenden Ergebnissen führen. Die aktuelle Rücknahme zeigt: Peer Review ist wichtig, aber keine Garantie für fehlerfreie Forschung.
❗ Schlechte Studien verzerren die öffentliche Debatte.
❗ Alarmierende Schlagzeilen bleiben oft hängen – selbst wenn die Forschung später korrigiert wird.
❗ Gerade bei E-Zigaretten braucht es eine sachliche Diskussion auf Basis belastbarer Wissenschaft.
