It's quite possible that all the good work that Mike Bloomberg's philanthropy has done to reduce #smoking & support #harmreduction re illicit drugs will pale beside the harm it's doing by opposing #tobacco harm reduction. MarcGunther gets it right. link.medium.com/aamG3VYxWqb

🚨 “Flavours are not a gimmick — they’re a lifeline.” Leading cardiologist Dr. Farsalinos urges governments to rethink vape policy and embrace harm reduction. 🗣 “Let’s stop vilifying vaping and start saving lives.” clearingtheair.eu/post/vape-flav… #harmreduction

If only someone had pointed out that bans on vape flavours lead to more smoking, more illicit trade, and more risky workarounds. OMG, it seems the activists behind this ban thought prohibition laws make prohibited things disappear… 🫠 🤡

A travel guide advises, "consider leaving vape devices at home if traveling to countries with strict or unclear regulations." Meanwhile, cigarettes are legal in every country in the world. This is on you, tobacco control industry. #WorseThanBigTobacco travelandtourworld.com/news/article/n…

My pitch at Institute of Economic Affairs yesterday… - UKTobacco & Vapes Bill is useless policy, I can’t believe anyone is backing it. - Tobacco Free Generation is a nothing-burger. Solves a problem solved by vapes, pouches well before anyone born after 2009 gets sick from smoking; - No effect on

The EU Commission attack on tobacco harm reduction will harm all European smokers but PARTICULARLY the most vulnerable and socially deprived groups, in whom e-cigarettes were found to be 3-TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE than NRTs in smoking cessation. See: acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/AN…
