Who cares about an addiction to tobacco excise when we can get adult smoking rates down to 8%? End game coming soon without an ecig epidemic in youth. amp.smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Another reason to update our tobacco ad ban legislation - good 30 plus years ago, but no longer fit for purpose in an era where BAT et al use every means they can to promote their products to potential consumers of all ages.

Coming from PMI? If you believe this Dr. Moira Gilchrist you really do deserve your PR job at the company! More industry spin to undermine credibility in good science. Philip Morris International when you stop killing your customers and divest from combustibles, we can talk about trust.

'Generation Vape': Just what the industry wanted. The governments and a few naive NGOs and academics that supported this industry should admit their mistake and move to restrict supply

More than 3,200 children try their first cigarette every day.

Nearly 9 out of 10 people who smoke started before the age of 18 and almost all start smoking by age 26.

We must protect our next generation by phasing out the sale of cigarettes.

Great to see objective researchers understand the real reason ecigs were developed -to maintain and expand nicotine addiction and harms- while a few suffer from tunnel vision in their search for industry solutions. Hint: The industry never marketed ecigs as a therapeutic product.

Friends of Juul and by direct association friends of Big Tobacco - Take a bow! The academics outside of the US must have conveniently forgotten their country signed FCTC including Article 5.3.

Smoking prevalence in Brazil, despite the ecig ban, is around 9% which is better than most countries with liberal ecig laws. Significant annual reductions in smoking prevalence with no new epidemic of youth vaping or multi-tobacco harms? gov.br/inca/resolveui…

We keep telling you about the growing harms of vaping; and the fact that harms occur at much younger ages than combustibles harms. Governments need to strengthen policy to protect the next generation from this vile industry. foxnews.com/health/young-v…

In fact, the declines in smoking prevalence have largely followed the trend already established by tobacco control in the last century. The trade-off of another generation of nicotine addiction and future multi-tobacco use harms not so good and will likely delay the end game.

I just chuckle when l see a post from a vaper spending $100s each week on disposable vapes complaining about the cost of going to a doctor to get advice and appropriate meds to actually quit using. How Much Do Vapes Cost? smokefreeclinic.com.au/articles/how-m…

Funny when you've hitched your caboose to the addiction train how instead of acknowledging the failures to protect another generation of kids from nicotine addiction and multi-tobacco use harms you double down on countries that have acted to protect kids. Ps It's 9% ASH New Zealand
