Smoking prevalence tells only part of the story. #Pakistan's GATS 2024 shows lower tobacco prevalence, but a 45M increase in the adult population still means 22.7M users and 164,000 annual deaths. Prevalence must be interpreted correctly. @EnditFoundation

The Gateway Myth Busted
BROMS debunked the Gateway Myth.
Snus initiation alone didn't predict adult smoking. Risk was concentrated in "mixed starters" — those who began young & used multiple products simultaneously.
We need to know if Pakistan has the same profile.

The Swedish Lesson
In 1998, Sweden enrolled 3,020 children aged 11 into the BROMS cohort & followed them for decades.
What they found shattered assumptions.
Longitudinal science doesn't show you where people are. It shows you where they're going.

We know how many Pakistanis use tobacco.
We don't know where they're headed.
That single blind spot is costing lives.
It's time to change it.

The New Frontier
Nicotine pouches. Vaping devices. Unregulated. Accessible. Spreading fast across Pakistani cities.
Our Vaping Voices research in Lahore shows youth navigating these products with zero longitudinal guidance.
The market won't wait for our research.

1,710 vape users surveyed in Lahore.
53% reported significant reduction in cigarette use.
13% reported quitting smoking.
Among those who quit, 94% did so within 6 months.
Message: harm reduction deserves evidence-based consideration. @ziauddinislam

We surveyed 312 healthcare professionals across Pakistan on #THR.
• Most believed nicotine causes cancer
• 63% saw no difference between cigarettes & smoke-free alternatives
• 80%+ had no THR training
The evidence gap has real consequences for smokers trying to quit.

SHAME on #GATC for mocking #NZ with their "Dirty Ashtray" at #COP11FCTC
NZ slashed smoking to ~6% by embracing evidence-based THR & saving lives.
Aotearoa deserves orchids, not ridicule from extremists.

Spot-on take from Chris Allen at #PouchEX : Vaping’s proven to displace smoking, yet policies fuel illicit markets & ignore adult quitters. Evidence > fear. Adult cessation must lead, not youth silos. Slides = gold! 🤝 #THR #HarmReduction

THAILAND, another country where a total prohibition of vapes has stopped use in its tracks! 😬

🇳🇿 Massive respect to New Zealand at #FCTCCOP11 for stating the facts:
“Since 2019 smoking rates have declined MORE RAPIDLY thanks to tobacco harm reduction & regulated vaping access.”
Evidence over ideology.
#THR works.

Stop prioritizing ideology over the lives of smokers at #COP11FCTC
The science is clear: Harm Reduction offers a viable exit for millions unable to quit nicotine. Regulated alternatives like vapes & pouches are not the problem; smoking is the problem.

Good piece on vaping here.
Overwhelmingly done by current and former smokers, so far there is basically no reason to think it is a gateway to cigarettes. And “popcorn lung” is just a lie.

Revolving Door is spinning right into COP11. Former #WHO/#CDC/#FDA officials are now philanthropic advocates, shaping global policy behind the scenes. Is this public health leadership or concentrated influence? Nations must choose science and sovereignty over the money trail.

#FCTCCOP11 coming! Apparently, fighting smoking is now a simple choice: listen to actual science or listen to a billionaire's wallet that screams, "No! Nicotine must remain maximally destructive!" Thanks for the clarity, rich people. 🤦♂️ #ScienceOverMoney
