Taxing safer nicotine products is a disastrous policy that affects all smokers trying to quit but will negatively impact the socially marginalised the most.

83 health experts have written to European Commission with one message: Don’t punish smokers for switching to safer alternatives. A secret Brussels plan for EU-wide taxes on smoke-free nicotine products could mean a 700% excise hike on pouches in Sweden. ➡️ brnw.ch/21wVHYc

France’s ban on nicotine pouches is a cruel joke that will criminalise ordinary Europeans crossing borders with safer nicotine products and push millions of ex-smokers back to cigarettes... Read more: brnw.ch/21wVNub

Our landmark new report shows safer nicotine alternatives are preventing disease & saving lives worldwide. 🇸🇪 Sweden, 🇯🇵 Japan, 🇬🇧 UK, 🇳🇿 New Zealand = proof that harm reduction works. At #COP11, World Health Organization (WHO) can embrace the evidence or waste millions of lives. 👉smokefreesweden.org/safer-nicotine…

An excellent article, which clears up many of the ill-informed perceptions about nicotine, a substance that, in of itself, is not that harmful, with effects comparable to caffeine. rstreet.org/commentary/nic…

It is strange that, despite the positive findings in this Cochrane review of the effectiveness of e-cigarettes, there is still widespread misinformation about vaping. Switching to non combustible, safer nicotine alternatives improves health and saves lives.
