A new major study from Queen Mary University of London has found that smokers who use both cigarettes and e-cigarettes at the same time – known as dual use – are reducing their intake of harmful chemicals and are also more likely to eventually quit smoking than those who continue

📊 New French survey sends a clear warning to policymakers 🇫🇷 A nationwide survey by FIVAPE (3,500+ respondents) shows: • ~3 million people in France quit smoking with e-cigarettes • Nearly 1 in 4 vapers would return to smoking if flavours are banned, online sales

UK: 14,801 vape kits. 3,562 successful switches in just four weeks. 🌊📊 Public Health Dorset’s data is a masterclass in pragmatism. When you lower the barrier to quitting, smokers take the exit ramp. #SwapToStop #DorsetHealth #HarmReduction clearingtheair.eu/en/post/free-v…

Bad news from Germany: flavours in e-cigarettes are set to be restricted. ❌ Good news: science is pushing back. 🔬 Medical experts warn such bans risk harming public health and undermining harm reduction. x.com/europeanvaping…

Science experts stress: don’t conflate smoking with vaping. Treating both the same risks confusing the public and could deter smokers from switching to less harmful alternatives. Clear risk differentiation is key for effective public health policy. x.com/SMC_London/sta…

InForum More than a dozen academic (non-industry) peer-reviewed studies show that such bans increase cigarette sales and use, especially among young adults.

🚭🌍 WHO ignoriert zentralen Faktor der Krebsprävention: Tobacco Harm Reduction. Wer den Umstieg von Zigaretten auf deutlich risikoärmere, rauchfreie Alternativen nicht fördert, übersieht großes Präventionspotenzial. Nicht alle Nikotinprodukte sind gleich riskant.

More governments—from New York to Seoul—are tightening rules on smoke-free nicotine products, blurring risk differences with cigarettes despite growing evidence they help smokers quit. Evidence-based harm reduction is being sidelined. 🚭⚖️ vapingpost.com/2026/02/26/the…
