Further Consultation Comments

Dave Cross, Planet Of The Vapes

The Royal College of Pharmacy has expressed its strong support for increasing restrictions on vape product design, description and display. ElfBar/Lost Mary tells Planet of the Vapes that it warned ministers to base new rules on clear evidence in order to avoid putting off adult smokers from reducing their harm exposure by switching to vaping.

The Questions They Didn’t Ask

Ask Australians whether public health should come before government revenue, and you will probably find broad agreement. Ask whether children should be protected from nicotine addiction and you will find another shared concern. Ask whether tobacco companies should influence public policy and many people will object.

Those answers matter. But they do not tell us which tobacco policies Australians support.

The Week in Tobacco Harm Reduction

Welcome to The Week in Tobacco Harm Reduction, my weekly look at the evidence, decisions and debates shaping how people move away from smoking. I bring together developments worth your time, examine what the evidence actually shows, and ask what they mean for people whose lives are affected.

New Smoking-Cessation Options for Service Members Should Not Stop at Active Duty

Jeffrey S. Smith, RStreet

Congress is considering a broader path for active-duty service members to quit smoking. Section 707 of the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027 would authorize a one-year pilot program offering counseling, nicotine gum and patches, e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and heated-tobacco products to eligible personnel who smoke. Its purpose is to help participants stop smoking and improve their health. Interestingly, the bill does not extend that pilot to former service members receiving care from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This willingness to explore alternatives should extend to veterans, especially those still smoking after decades of use.

A look back at how things have moved on or otherwise…  

Is Australia falling behind..

On tobacco policy? – Clive Bates

I’m visiting Australia next week and looking forward to some good discussions with people holding any and all points of view on vaping, nicotine and smoking. My aim is to share experience from the US and UK where we are seeing encouraging uptake of low-risk vaping alongside an unusually rapid decline in smoking.

“Deception or Evasion”

By FDA CTP & National Cancer Institute Regarding Smokeless Tobacco?
Brad Rodu, Tobacco Truth

“A majority of adults do not think smokeless tobacco is less harmful than cigarettes,” according to a study by the FDA Center for Tobacco Products and the Tobacco Control Research Branch of National Cancer Institute (abstract here).
