Banning smoke-free products doesn’t end demand—it pushes it underground and removes a proven quit aid. It’s time for a better approach.

Australia is a textbook example of what NOT to do.
250+ firebombings. Murders. Criminal cartels taking over the nicotine market. Breakdown of society.
This is what happens when governments embrace prohibition.

This 11 minute video is well worth a watch to understand the systemic corruption of the @WHO. Boldly boasting how they will fabricate evidence to support their dangerous ideology. The organization is acting #WorseThanBigTobacco and harming global public health.
The WHO has stopped pretending to care about evidence.
Its solution? Higher taxes, more bans, and policies that hand billions to organised crime.
We spoke to @vapers_alliance about the WHO's ideological agenda, Australia's tobacco black market catastrophe, and why prohibition kills while harm reduction saves lives.

The WHO meets in Copenhagen today to discuss Europe's health future.
Here's a lesson it should learn:
🚫 Banning nicotine products doesn't eliminate demand.
💰 It hands the market to criminals.
📉 It undermines efforts to reduce smoking.
Europe needs evidence, not ideology.

I am astounded that this absurd Palau-fronted nicotine prohibition initiative is being taken seriously by what appears to be an expanding cult of drug war ideologues. See my brief comment on the LinkedIn post of its leading proponent, @AshOrg

The World Health Organization (WHO) has admitted what we have been arguing all along - that Europe is failing to meet its public health targets. Yet rather than learn from countries successfully reducing smoking, it appears determined to double down on the same failed policies.

Delighted to have our advisor and former Interpol Assistant Director Michael Ellis speak at the Asia Forum on Nicotine, where he warned of the growing threat of illicit nicotine markets and the dangers of prohibition.
His message was clear: banning safer nicotine alternatives doesn't eliminate demand. It hands the market to organised crime.

A huge huge huge congratulations to the amazing and wonderful @imaracingmom on her appointment to the FDA’s Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee!
In an extraordinary session at the World Health Organisation Western Pacific Regional Committee, representatives provided a remarkable admission of how its tobacco-control agenda operates: decide on the policy first, generate the “evidence” to justify it, recruit political allies, and use taxpayers' money to sustain the campaign.

This is prohibition, plain and simple.
Ireland is considering banning an entire generation of adults from ever legally buying cigarettes, vapes or nicotine pouches.
Even the bill’s sponsor admits it risks creating a black market.
We know how this ends: criminals get the customers, government loses control of the market, and safer alternatives are pushed underground.
Prohibition does not work.

"However much the public dislikes the legal tobacco business, they may discover at their peril that they dislike the illegal tobacco business even more." Via @jacobgrier at @liberalismorg liberalism.org/p/when-tobacc…
Germany’s Medical Association is urging the government to keep nicotine pouches off the legal market - and extend the ban to e-cigarettes.
But prohibition has already failed: 2% of adults use pouches, while 444 million illicit pouches were sold in 2024.
Read our report to learn more on the utter failure of nicotine pouches prohibition in Germany:
