#tobacco control public health communication may manipulate headlines and lack evidence. A #Health eNews article questioned the safety of nicotine pouches without proper support. daily-pouch.com/media-watch-pr…

France’s national #health agency ANSES has concluded that vaping is significantly less harmful than #smoking after reviewing a large body of scientific evidence. #France filtermag.org/france-vaping-…

Germany is considering a ban on flavored e-liquids with cooling agents - including menthol vapes - potentially taking effect later this year. For many former smokers, especially those who switched after the menthol cigarette ban in 2020, these flavors play a key role. If passed, the regulation could increase smoking prevalence.

Well, considering surveys show that "medical experts" are ignorant about nicotine and that their "Merchants of Doubt" tactics towards safer products are arguably worse than when Big Tobacco did the same in the past, their praise proves the govt is wrong. euractiv.com/news/polish-cr…

PLANNED DENIAL | FDA’s Shifting Standards for Vape Authorization *Guest: Dr. Ian Fearon, independent scientist @imaracingmom @NannyFreeState @ChaunceyGardner @alli_vapes @INNCOorg @GFNicotine @GrimmGreen @LegionVaping regwat.ch/N61rXR

Today in GFN News, we speak with @godfreywill of Filter about Germany’s plan to ban flavoured e-liquids with cooling agents. Supporters say menthol and “iced” vapes may be easier to inhale and could increase nicotine intake, especially among youth. youtu.be/9ROp0l2r0qw

"It’s something we already knew," reports @KiranSidhu41. "Yet when misinformation obscures this basic fact from millions of people who smoke—and from over 90 percent of the French population—official acknowledgement by another major nation matters." filtermag.org/france-vaping-…

“Sadly the organized media disinformation campaign, and the clickbait tendency, reduced the potential effects of the positive messages from this report” filtermag.org/france-vaping-…

Research shows flavored vapes help people quit smoking. Yet current FDA policy is pushing consumers towards unregulated illegal products. Policymakers should end this failed ban on flavors that only benefits illegal Chinese sellers. thefp.com/p/the-kids-are…

"Adults are free to choose to consume all kinds of harmful substances, including some in a sweeter variety. There’s no reason vaping should be any different." A very wise editorial from the @wapo - sadly, the comments are chock full of ignorance. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

20 million people have died from smoking-related diseases in the EU since the 1992 EU snus prohibition. Imagine if the EU had encouraged switching to snus, incentivised pouch innovation, and gone all in to migrate nicotine use to low-risk products? EU still has 94m smokers, FFS.

Dr Konstantinos Farsalinos has produced a major review which finds that nicotine pouches could be safest alternative to tobacco use yet for smokers planetofthevapes.co.uk/news/vaping-ne… @FarsalinosK @SmokeFreeSweden #vape #vapingnews #safernicotine #nicotinepouches #HarmReduction

Rethinking Nicotine: @KatMurti moderates a discussion on the failures of prohibition, with discussion by @Tim_Andrews @ReemAmirIbrahim @SofieHamilton comparing Swedens success in reducing smoking (with snus) vs how Australia's overly restrictive approach backfired.

FDA regulation effectively wiped out 99% of e-cigarette companies, leaving only big tobacco brands. This pushed legal businesses into the unregulated dark, creating a potential disaster. @michelleminton #FDARegulation #VapeIndustry

Belgium has banned disposable vapes and considers further restrictions on flavored e-cigarettes. However, a #study reveals that such bans can fuel the black market and increase youth access to unregulated products. worldvapersalliance.com/belgium-is-abo…

Vapes acting as a "gateway" to smoking for young people is a persistent claim, writes Martin Cullip. "But the gap between the claim and observable reality keeps growing wider." The new US National Youth Tobacco Survey is a case in point: filtermag.org/youth-smoking-… @NannyFreeState

I've written at @Filtermag_org on the new US National Youth Tobacco Survey data which show smoking amongst youth has all but disappeared. The 'gateway' theory is nothing but fiction. Why does no-one want to talk about such great news? filtermag.org/youth-smoking-…
