In adolescents who have never smoked most #vaping is occasional and short-term
Frequent vaping in this group is uncommon: 1-2% in most international surveys eg England ⤵️

Rather than being a gateway into smoking, #vaping is diverting young people AWAY from smoking overall. Increased vaping is accompanied by an accelerated decline in youth smoking

Their concern is that
“this approach will have serious and harmful unintended consequences for public health, will slow the decline in smoking and will ultimately be unsuccessful”

The experts say that "a well-designed adult consumer regulatory model is most likely to achieve the two goals we all seek, i.e., making vaping products available as a quitting aid for adults who smoke and minimising access by young people"

Prof. Thomasius: "E-Zigaretten enthalten teilweise giftige Stoffe"
=> PG, VG, Aromen und das phöse Nikotin!
Nur komisch, das PG, VG die best untersuchten Stoffe sind und ÜBERALL die Menschen damit in Kontakt kommen.

I watched the @7NewsSydney Vape Debate moderated by @AmeliaBrace between (then) premier @Dom_Perrottet and (current) premier @ChrisMinnsMP with interest.

[Amelia] In New South Wales they're technically only available by prescription, but there's a booming Black Market trade out there.
[Chris] Yeah I am concerned about, I guess, the ability the ease of ability for particularly young people to get access to Vapes.
1/ Though my work is on speech issues, those who know me well know that #HarmReduction is an issue I care deeply about. Both because keeping people healthier & alive is good, and because it highlights the danger of overly intrusive govt.
So I want to talk about #vaping & #ecigs.

2/ A section of @POTUS' State of the Union Fact Sheet that didn't make it into the speech addressed the harms of smoking, and the importance of cessation and prevention.

3/ Prohibition has never worked. Instead of failing repeatedly to regulate vice out of existence (which will never happen, and shouldn't be the purview of govt anyway), we should be enabling ways to keep people safer when they do partake in less-healthy activities.
NL macht einen riesigen Fehler: Aromenverbot in Liquids wird zu mehr Raucher führen. Die Aromenvielfalt ist der Schlüssel des Erfolgs von #THR mittel E-Dampfprodukte!

Bisherige Studien haben gezeigt, dass im Dampf der Anteil von Formaldehyd etc. im Vergleich zum Tabakrauch minimalst ist! Die meisten gefundenen Stoffe sind gerade so an der Nachweisgrenze. Daher ganz klar, der Zuschauer wird im Dunkeln gelassen.

Weiterer Fakt: Raucher, welche auf das Dampfen umsteigen sind faktisch Nichtraucher!
Die E-Zigarette ist ein Produkt zur Tabakschadensminimierung und effektiver zur Erreichung des Rauchstopps als herkömmliche NET.

"Hier seien ergänzende Studien nötig, um zu verstehen, wie es zu solchen Fehleinschätzungen kommt."
Die Erklärung ist ganz einfach: alle Organisationen im Dunstkreis des ABNR e.V. verbreiten seit über 10 Jahren Desinformation zur E-Dampfe. Sprich sie sind überhaupt nicht Willens

Dies spiegelt sich auch in der aktuell S3-Richtlinie zur Tabakentwöhnung wieder.
So kommt es zu dieser verzerrten Risikowahrnehmung.

@TGAgovau ran an inquiry into #nicotine #vaping. One of the questions was:
"In your opinion, will a requirement for a prescription help reduce uptake of nicotine delivery products such as nicotine e-cigarettes among youth?"

Die #Zigaretten- bzw. #Tabak-Industrie entzieht unserer Gesellschaft bzw den Tabak-Süchtigen jährlich fast 30 Milliarden €. Es ist eine furchtbare Sucht. Ich spreche aus 30 Jahren Erfahrung, bevor ich mich davon lösen konnte. 30 Milliarden € gehen sprichtwörtlich in Rauch auf.
30 Mrd ohne irgendeinen nennenswerten Gegenwert! Und während ich damals einfach aufgehört habe zu kiffen, weil mir davon schwindelig wurde, brauchte ich 20 Jahre und Umweg über #Vaping, um vom Tabak loszukommen. Was ist denn hier die gefährlichere Droge? #Cannabis oder #Tabak?
In jedem freien Moment war ich nur auf der Suche nach der nächsten Gelegenheit, mit ne Kippe anzuzünden. Teilweise 2 in Kette, um nicht schon gleich wieder nach 15 Min Schmacht zu haben. Völlig absurde Droge, völlig absurde Sucht.

But have also tried HnB products out of curiosity to see if that would also help smokers.
All alternatives should receive encouragement even IF sourced from the Tobacco Industry, the big prize is to help smokers ,by whatever means + what works 4 them.

Ludicrous and unjustified EU (and UK) ban on Snus is doing smokers a gross disservice.

Failing to acknowledge Article 1(d) and #harmreduction #tobaccoharmreduction is a failure of ideology.
