“If health bodies are serious about lowering smoking rates, vaping should be part of this personalisation, too.”

Armenia’s smoking rate has stagnated despite the standard tobacco-control playbook. The country is also sidelining vaping and pouches.

Young people in four Latin American countries are seriously confused about the relative risks of nicotine pouches, vapes and cigarettes.
“Only 5.4% and 6.6% correctly stated that cigarettes and vapes, respectively, were more harmful than pouches.”

Ireland’s Budget is raising vaping costs again, narrowing the incentive to switch from cigarettes while illicit tobacco remains cheap.
“Vapes don’t cost the healthcare service money. If anything, they help reduce costs.”

The WSJ sees a wellness-driven rehabilitation of nicotine. Media Watch asks whether the evidence really supports that story.
“Without more specific examples, I’m not sure this is solid proof of a wellness pivot toward nicotine.”

Martin Cullip says the RCP’s new vaping stance contradicts its own 2016 warning: restrictions that make e-cigarettes less accessible or effective can “cause harm by perpetuating smoking.” @NannyFreeState

A new global tobacco harm-reduction paper shows how marketing, access and misinformation can accelerate—or stall—progress away from smoking.
“Governments do not need to actively promote vaping for harm reduction to occur.”

Stuff says young Kiwis are quitting vapes by taking up smoking. The numbers point in another direction.
“Stuff’s claim that there is widespread or generational substitution of cigarettes for vapes is not supported by data.”

Adults at adult-only festivals can make their own choices. Ireland’s nicotine-pouch debate needs more proportion than panic.
“Protecting minors from these kinds of promotions is good policy, but advertising and sales bans for adults are excessive.”

Follow The Money claims Big Tobacco kept Brussels soft on vaping. Its evidence establishes lobbying, not policy capture.
“Just because Big Tobacco says that vaping is safer than cigarettes doesn’t make it false.”

Canada may finally reconsider the pharmacy-only rule that sends adult nicotine-pouch demand toward the illicit market.
“...the authorised product is confined to pharmacies, while products that are unlawful to sell may still be more visible.”

Public-health messaging has blurred the difference between smoking and vaping — and trust in reliable evidence is paying the price.
From @NannyFreeState

SCI News says teen nicotine use is “tied to” anxiety and depression—but the studies themselves cannot establish cause and effect.
“As always, correlation is not causation.”

Truth Initiative wants dating apps to nudge smokers and vapers into quit programmes. That is odd enough before the privacy angle kicks in.
“To me, that seems like the sort of exploitative marketing that even Big Tobacco wouldn’t stoop to.”

The Telegraph’s latest vaping scare piece looks evidence-heavy at first glance. Then the citations start wobbling.
“These claims are not supported by a fair analysis of the research.”

Ireland may be about to copy the UK’s generational ban, but with vapes pulled into the frame too.
“Banning vapes and pouches for adults because they were born after a certain date is ridiculous.”

HuffPost's nicotine pouch panic leans on RFK Jr. framing, cancer insinuation, and a synthetic-nicotine claim that falls apart on contact with the evidence.
“There are too many mistakes in this article, particularly from Dr Leone.”

Ireland’s new nicotine retail licence may look modest from Dublin, but for small rural shops the maths can bite hard.
“...the licensing scheme changes the maths somewhat.”

The White House ZYN factory tweet sent everyone racing to perform nicotine expertise, but the safer-products point remains stubbornly simple.
“Safe and safer are different words”

Burnham's Britain has found its latest easy target: vape shops, while evidence and harm reduction are shoved aside for political vibes.
"This is what happens when public policy stops following evidence and starts following the vibez."
