There’s no tobacco in a vape. Vapes don’t create smoke. Vaping is safer than smoking. If you can’t quit smoking, try switching to vaping. Smoke-free is more important than nicotine-free. #WorldNoTobaccoDay #WNTD #WorldNoTobaccoDay25 #WNTD25 #WorldNoTobaccoDay2025 #WNTD2025.

Today is #WorldVapeDay. Smokers deserve better options and access to safer alternatives, not fear-driven policies or bans. Let’s focus on safer alternatives and give people the freedom to choose what works for them. #THR #ConsumerFreedom

"The member states of the WHO created World No Tobacco Day in 1987 to draw global attention to the tobacco epidemic and the preventable death and disease it causes." 8m deaths/yr. @NCDAllianceKe's post is as far removed from the original intent of #WorldNoTobaccoDay as it gets.
This #WNTD2025KE, we call for the complete removal of e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and other emerging tobacco products from the Kenyan market; they are not harmless alternatives — they’re the tobacco industry’s rebranded trap! @MOH_Kenya let’s unmask the appeal.

🚭 This #WorldVapeDay, we highlight how smart policies on vaping can save lives. Africa’s leaders have the chance to prevent millions of smoking-related deaths by embracing #TobaccoHarmReduction. Support science, not stigma. The time to act is now.#VapingWorks #20YearsofFActs

There are so many errors in this piece. IDK where he gets his information, he doesn't link to any proof. Here is the history of #WVD #WorldVapeDay based on interviews with the consumers involved since the beginning. filtermag.org/world-vape-day… <links #TruthMatters #SaferThanSmoking

Quieren prohibir los sabores en los vapers y mantener el sabor tabaco. Y la realidad es que más del 70 % de los usuarios asocia sabores con su proceso de abandono del tabaco. Cada sabor es una etapa superada.  #WNTD2025 #SOSVapeo #DíaMundialAntitabaco #ElVapeoSalvaVidas #PorUnaEspañaSinHumo #WorldVapeDay #WVD #DiaMundialDelVapeo #20YearsOfFacts #VapearSalvaVidas #ReduccionDeDañosYa

FCTC needs to use innovative approaches, challenge dogma and use the full arsenal of tools to meaningfully address the problem of smoking in Asia and other LMICs #WNTD25 #THRworks, #RightToHealth, #20/20Hindsight, #COP11 bit.ly/49p9Mnm

Evidence shows that safer nicotine products can cut exposure to harmful chemicals by up to 90% compared to smoking. This World Vape Day is a call to support policies that promote these life-saving alternatives. #VapingWorks #WorldVapeDay

🧵Dismantling the @WHO theater on its own day: Today is #WorldNoTobaccoDay, and instead of attacking cigarettes, WHO launches a crusade against flavors. 💨 Vaping is NOT tobacco. 💊 They disguise it as a "nicotine product" to confuse. 👇
Today is #WorldNoTobaccoDay 🚭 Tobacco & nicotine products look sweet BUT are harmful. That bubblegum, mango, or cotton candy flavour isn’t just for taste. It’s a trap to get young people hooked! Don’t fall for the illusion. #TobaccoExposed 👉bit.ly/NoTobacco2025

#WVD2025 #WorldVapeDay25 #20YearsOfFacts #20YearsOfInnovation #VapingWorks #HealthForAll #RightToHealth #RightToChoice The WHO constantly deploys #misinformation as it continues its anti-vape campaign on #WNTD2025, refusing to embrace harm reduction for the world’s leading cause of preventable death 🚬despite doing so for other forms of drug use. filtermag.org/tobacco-harm-r…

#WVD2025 #20YearsOfFacts #20YearsOfInnovation #VapingWorks #HealthForAll WHO's focus on protecting youth from tobacco industry influence during #WNTD2025 overlooks the needs of the 1.3 billion adult smokers. Despite evidence supporting the effectiveness of harm reduction products like e-cigarettes, the WHO continues to advocate for restricting access to these alternatives. thr101.org/post/world-no-tob…

Over 115 million adults worldwide use low-risk nicotine products, demonstrating that when better options are accessible, healthier choices are made. Nigeria can benefit from adopting similar approaches to reduce smoking rates. #VapingWorks #WorldVapeDay

This #WorldNoTobaccoDay, let's: 🚸 Keep kids safe. 🚭 Help adults quit. We can do both. We can protect youth AND respect the right of adults to access the tools that help them quit smoking for good. It's going to take better policy. #CdnPoli
