Two From Dave Cross, Planet Of The Vapes

UKVIA’s VAPRIL Awareness Campaign

The UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA) is gearing up to launch the ninth annual VApril campaign next month – the world’s largest vape awareness initiative. For almost a decade, the trade organisation tells Planet of the Vapes, VApril has supported adult smokers looking to quit by swapping from cigarettes to vaping. It says it has consistently provided evidence-based information, expert insights and practical guidance on making the switch.

Save Vaping Campaign Launched

The New Nicotine Alliance has launched a grassroots campaign to oppose the proposed public spaces vaping ban, saying there is no scientific evidence that second-hand vapour harms bystanders. In addition, the independent charity believes the move risks pushing ex-smokers to relapse and deterring current smokers from switching.

Fight the vaping ban.

Save Vaping

Save Vaping is a campaign organised by the New Nicotine Alliance to oppose the UK government’s proposal to ban vaping and heated tobacco use in public places. The campaign is aimed at adults who use these products, business owners, and anyone who cares about freedom, evidence-led policy, and harm reduction.

New campaign launched to challenge the proposed public vaping ban

New Nicotine Alliance UK

The New Nicotine Alliance has launched a new campaign website to encourage supporters to respond to the government’s consultation on a proposed ban on vaping in public places and to contact their MP. We have also produced a supporting press release explaining why the proposal is a bad idea.

Vaping Alarmism vs. Reality: Separating Hype from Science in the Nicotine Debate

Alan Gor

Australia’s academics are at it again.

The article tries to paint vaping as a kind of neurological trap designed to hijack the brains of young people. It uses dramatic language, a small laboratory experiment, and several questionable claims to suggest that colourful vape products are almost irresistible and therefore must be tightly restricted. But when you step back and examine the claims more carefully, much of the argument relies on exaggeration, misleading comparisons, and missing context.

EU Tax Hike Threatens the Swedish Miracle with Punitive Taxes

Juan Taborcia, Considerate Pouchers

Considerate Pouchers has aligned with a cross-border alliance of consumer advocates in an urgent appeal to Swedish officials to block the current draft revision of the EU Tobacco Excise Directive (TED). With the Working Party on Tax Questions scheduled for February 25, the proposed framework has shifted from a regulatory update to a direct financial strike against individuals seeking smoke-free alternatives.

The Presidency´s Tax Approach Continue Missing the Point

POUCHFORUM

The latest Presidency compromise on the Tobacco Taxation Directive does not mark a shift in direction. If anything, it confirms that the Cypriot Presidency is ignoring nicotine pouches and holding its course.

Despite extensive discussion and feedback, the proposed tax levels for nicotine pouches remain unchanged from earlier compromise texts.

Nordic nicotine industry to EU: Stop treating pouches like cigarettes

Snusforumet

Nordic nicotine manufacturers have warned the EU risks making a mistake in its nicotine policy, calling for more nuanced and carefully calibrated regulations that take relative risks into account.

In a joint letter sent to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the organisations explain that misconceptions about the risks of nicotine may paradoxically make it more difficult for European smokers to quit.
