👉 Respiratory symptoms drop significantly among those who quit #smoking or switch to products like #ecigarettes or heated tobacco, compared to those who keep smoking. 👉 Symptom levels among switchers and ex-smokers are nearly identical.

Blatant audacity. 😮 Illegal #vapes found again at the same warehouse in #Neuss. This isn’t petty crime – it’s organized, growing, and clearly feels untouchable. ⚠️ Authorities must act. We need coordinated, strategic enforcement to dismantle the #blackmarket.

This large-scale raid in #Berlin makes one thing clear: 💵Massive tax fraud with illegal #vapes by international networks – and it keeps growing. 📈 How much longer will this be tolerated? ⌛ 📢 It’s time for authorities to act. Not someday. 👉Now.

🚨Tax revenues are falling, the #blackmarket is growing. 👉 Reality is catching up with #tobacco #tax policy. 📌 Dear policymakers: It's not just time to talk. It's time to act.

Minister Gorißen should know: ideology is no substitute for evidence. When someone in her position makes public judgments about #eCigarettes while ignoring scientific facts, she isn’t promoting protection – she’s spreading harmful misinformation and strengthening the black market

It's deeply concerning that flawed studies like these gain significant media coverage, seemingly with the intent of spreading misinformation about #nicotine rather than contributing to honest scientific discourse. 🤔

It's unbelievable how large the internationally operating #blackmarket has become. The authorities are losing millions in #tax revenue because of it.

🇩🇪 Germany plans to make shops take back disposable vapes ♻️ ✅Sounds reasonable – on paper. 🛑 But the black market won’t care. 💰 And legal shops will be stuck with the cleanup bill.

MASSIVE SEIZURE 😮 The scale of these cases clearly shows how professionally and internationally organized the #blackmarket has become. 👉 Instead of getting lost in ideological and symbolic calls for bans, policymakers should finally focus on cracking down on the black market.

Big thanks to the RTL TV team – together we showed how the #blackmarket operates with no fear of consequences and how it targets young people. Shocking! Politics and authorities must act now. #ecigarette #vaping #vape #ecig

🚨It’s shocking that politicians still do nothing and seem to silently accept the #vape #blackmarket. Just as shocking is how bold illegal sellers are – and then pretend they’re not responsible. 😱😡 #ecig #ecigarettes #vape #vapes #vaping

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Global Youth Voices GGTC The truth about this deceitful event explained in one picture. A picture says more than a thousand words.

😮 Leaks reveal: ❌ Backroom dealings at the #WHO #COP11, ❌ political scheming at highest level, ❌ an attempt to push through a total ban on #eCigarettes – including their use. 😡 A mandate breach of this scale must have consequences at the #EU level. 🔗vd-eh.de/mandatsbruch-i…

🚨illegal store ignores closure, sealing and a business ban ❌ Youth protection violations continue under a new owner ❌Ex-owner keeps selling #vapes to minors ❌Minors even threatened if they talk to police How long will this be tolerated? Authorities, stop the black market!

🥂Huge success in cross-border operation: German and Belgian authorities seize 1.3 million illegal #vapes 👮A big setback for the #blackmarket and a major win for protecting consumers, as well as for lawful businesses that face pressure due to the rise of illicit products. 👏

💡Such reports make one thing clear: This is not petty crime. Organized structures are behind the rising #vape-#blackmarket. 🚨 If we want to win this fight, we cannot ease up now. Authorities must push back with clear, forceful and continuous enforcement. 💪👮

The estimated €1.2 billion in lost #tax revenue for 2025 is likely very conservative. Instead of addressing the true scale of the #blackmarket, it continues to be politically downplayed, with serious consequences for consumer safety, #youth protection and legitimate businesses.

⚠️A massive #blackmarket that ignores the #law and is driven by #organizedcrime. 📰A must-read #investigation by WELT that hopefully raises awareness among policymakers. This can no longer be ignored 🙈🙉🙊 It’s time to act. 🚨

💥The #government is trying to effectively #ban all #ecigarettes in #Germany through the back door, bypassing parliament and without scientific evidence. Since when is empowering the #blackmarket #publichealth policy? Eliminating a less harmful alternative makes no sense! 🤯
