The Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry delivered its report into #vaping today Incredibly, it concluded that vaping is no safer than smoking and ignored its role as a quitting aid. A huge failure for public health and evidence-based policy! My analysis ⤵️ colinmendelsohn.com.au/victorian/

Cochrane data reveals that NRTs have been helping people quit smoking for decades, with proven success. Limiting access to these alternatives is a step backward for public health, Mark Holland. #HandsOffMyNRTs #QuitMyWay #CdnPoli

A study by Rose Research Center found that offering e-cigarettes as a replacement led to participants decreasing their daily cigarette consumption from ~17/day to 3. This highlights the potential of these products to help people lower their cigarette use.

Alcohol and cigarettes are available at convenient stores, yet nicotine replacement therapies are not. Mark Holland, says he's trying to protect youth from nicotine pouches. Yet these products are fine. Does this make sense to anyone? Anyone?

“The available evidence indicates that switching completely from smoking combustible cigarettes to vaping nicotine e-cigarettes substantially reduces a person’s exposure to tobacco toxins, reduces respiratory symptoms, and reverses smoking-related physiological changes.” -

The Minister of Health, Mark Holland, is making it harder for Canadians to access legal nicotine pouches. But illegal ones? Still everywhere. Is this really protecting public health? Health Canada and PHAC Ya'ara Saks יערה זקס

Rights4Vapers Mark Holland Health Canada and PHAC Ya'ara Saks יערה זקס Considering there is only one "authorized" pouch available, it seems adults looking to remain smoke free will have to participate in criminal behavior in order to stay away from cigarettes. health-products.canada.ca/lnhpd-bdpsnh/i… recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-recal…

Provincial gov'ts are all trying to outdo each other with inappropriate attempts to micromanage people's lives. Here, Andrew Furey, Premier of NL, wants to ban a problem & a solution to it, conveniently forgetting that prohibition doesn't work. #nlpoli vocm.com/2024/09/04/gov…

I can no longer make sense of this world. Why would Sweden consider messing with their status as the world's 1st smoke-free country?

Our healthcare professionals are already stretched thin. Moving safer nicotine alternatives like pouches to pharmacies only adds to their burden and stigmatizes users. Let’s support public health through accessible harm reduction, not complicate it. #SupportNotStigma

#Nicotine is not the enemy—it's the delivery method that matters. Switching to safer alternatives like #vapes or #pouches can dramatically reduce the harm caused by #smoking. Delivery & Accessibility matters. Having a CHOICE matters. #HandsOffMyNRT

Access to safer #nicotine alternatives is a human right. Everyone deserves the chance to quit #smoking in the way that works best for them. Whether that’s pouches, vapes, gums, patches, etc. Restricting access to those NRT products is a violation of that right, Mark Holland.

Hey Mark Holland you are good with Cstores selling booze but heaven forbid they sell Zonnic because they are not responsible enough?

It’s important to recognize that #NRTs are a harm reduction tool, not a gateway to nicotine addiction. Research shows that these products are effective in helping smokers reduce or eliminate their dependence on cigarettes, which are far more harmful than NRTs. #CdnPoli

Evidence shows that making NRTs easily accessible increases the number of successful quit attempts. Let's not undermine public health by restricting safer #nicotine products. #harmreduction #HandsOffMyNRT

It’s shameless for the govt. to keep profiting from deadly cigarettes while making it harder for Cdns to quit by restricting safer alternatives. Stop blocking the path to a smoke-free #Canada. Health Canada and PHAC Mark Holland Ya'ara Saks יערה זקס #HarmReduction #CDNpoli
