I quit smoking more than 10 years ago. EU ministers debate nicotine taxes on Monday. My question: are you helping smokers leave cigarettes behind, or making it harder? Tax policy should reflect risk.

HIGHER TAXES, BIGGER BLACK MARKET
Higher taxes don’t eliminate demand - they push consumers toward the black market. And unregulated products can put their health at risk.

Ils ont le pouvoir, il s’en servent pour détruire notre pays, et bien sûr qu’ils ne vont pas démissionner, mais continuer sous l’œil de Macron, leur travail de fossoyeur impuni
Rendez-vous compte : personne n’a démissionné.
Ni ministre, ni maire, ni préfet. On nous rabâche l’« état de droit » à longueur de journée…
Si vous étiez un minimum responsables, ce matin le ministre de l’Intérieur Nuñez et le ministre de la Justice Darmanin auraient déjà quitté leurs postes.
C’est ça, la réalité.

CASA’s member survey identified an unintended consequence of a flavour ban: 32% of respondents said they would return to smoking and 18% said they would smoke more. That’s what our lawmakers should be hearing as they consider the tobacco bill #Kenya #TobaccoControlAmendmentBill

Even China is struggling to control its flavor ban on vapes.
With a male smoking rate of 44%, it might just be better to free the flavors instead of driving people to the illicit market or smoking.

L’insécurité à Kinshasa nous a brusquement arraché notre petite sœur, #WIVINE_MAPATHI. Kidnappée,sauvagement tabassée puis jetée dans la rue😭😭.
L’insécurité à Kin est une réalité.Ceux qui parlent de «rumeurs» attendront-ils que leurs proches soient victimes pour le comprendre?

"Adults who have moved away from smoking should not be treated as an afterthought."
Over-correcting with bans doesn't protect public health. It protects cigarettes from competition. #HealthPolicy #AsiaPacific #HarmReduction bit.ly/4wKOufv

Who can look at this Euromonitor map of illicit vape share, globally over 75%, and think "yes, that's totally what we need to achieve for nicotine pouches"?
Yet, @WHO is soon to release a new hysteria-driven, foundation-funded report, arguing that vastly safer pouches are a major health risk and should be banned where possible and regulated and taxed out of existence where not banned.

.@grok and I are drafting a piece:
“Safe & Effective” for drugs.
But for tobacco?
“Appropriate for the Protection of the Public Health” (AFPPH) is so vague it’s basically a Rorschach test.
10+ years on, @FDATobacco gets enormous discretion with almost zero guardrails.
A made-up talking point that can justify anything.

Recent data from the @WHO show:
➡️ 40 million children (13–15) use tobacco
➡️ 15 million adolescents use e-cigarettes
➡️ Youth in some countries are 9x more likely than adults to vape
These trends are not coincidental. As WHO notes, young people are being targeted by design.
From flavors and product design to digital marketing, the industry continues to evolve its tactics to sustain addiction.
In the lead-up to #WNTD2026, STOP will share resources supporting the campaign—and exposing the tactics fueling addiction. Follow along.

🇧🇩 Bangladesh is reviewing its 2025 vape ban. Course correction is not weakness — it's what better policy looks like. Protect youth. Strengthen tobacco control. Replace blanket prohibition with smart regulation bit.ly/4t7eTlx

Smoking rates are significantly high among people living with HIV, and targeted smoking cessation programmes are few and far between.
In our latest #GSTHR Briefing Paper we explore how #tobaccoharmreduction could provide a solution to this clinical gap👉gsthr.org/resources/briefing…
