The world’s largest equivalent body, Cancer Council UK, supports tobacco harm reduction and evidence for safety and effectiveness.

Read this out aloud at the COP11! "It’s groupthink in its purest form: consensus at any cost, dissent suppressed, alternatives dismissed. In this atmosphere, truth becomes secondary to institutional comfort." www.aliveadvocacymovement.com/post/groupth...

Real harm reduction is about compassion, pragmatism, and saving lives, not enforcing ideological purity. The @who.int has forgotten that. The rest of the world shouldn’t let them rewrite the definition. @alexwodak.bsky.social @drbfreeman.bsky.social @melissasweetdr.bsky.social

Recent paper by me showing inevitable & unstoppable replacement of combustible cigarettes by safer, smoke-free nicotine options despite 200 km/hr headwinds from anti THR zealots johnmenadue.com/post/2025/11...

They'll fight tooth and nail to never admit policy failure. You can here it here plain and simple as they gang up on the only person (Theo) offering an alternate point of view www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... This is what they did to Colin (and you Alex) repeatedly.

Almost all opponents of tobacco harm reduction refuse to have anything to do with THR advocates

There’s quite a number of senior experienced researchers who used to oppose tobacco harm reduction but now support it. Not aware of any expert who has gone in opposite direction

US govt attacks harm reduction!World attacks tobacco harm reduction! NEJM: ‘Harm reduction is evidence-based health care that is rooted in public health principles. There is no single best form of harm reduction- .. array of services that meet patients where they are’ www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

1/2 Decades relying well funded law enforcement to reduce illicit drug availability in Australia➡️70-90% people who use drugs reporting yearly every illicit drug easy/very easy to buy. Why would illegal cigarettes be different? Of course anti illegal cigs will fail plus➡️ severe unintended effects

WHO embraces harm reduction for drugs, but not for nicotine or alcohol? In medicine, it’s understood every treatment has risks. Key is weighing risks against benefits. Benefits quitting smoking enormous, & downsides of switching to smoke-free products small snusforumet.se/en/cop11-pre...

Do tobacco harm reduction opponents really believe nonsense they sprout or do they realise it’s all crap & just fake believing it? Which is worse? Got to be one or the other! @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

Clive Bates anticipates what will happen at forthcoming Conference of Parties meeting Geneva 17-21 November re international tobacco control. Anti harm reduction zealots in control @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @jgitchell.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJsY...

“Substantially reducing the number of people who use the most hazardous form of nicotine delivery—smoking —is possible if more people who smoke or would smoke can be diverted to less hazardous forms of nicotine use” link.springer.com/article/10.1...

“scientific review analyzed 104 studies involving over 30,000 participants finding vaping with nicotine more successful in smoking cessation. No significant differences in side effects among the groups” @theracp.bsky.social #auspol @actinosproject.bsky.social clearingtheair.eu/en/post/vape...

Evidence vaping & other smoke-free ways of taking nicotine reduce smoking deaths & disease keeps getting stronger while claims against keep get weaker. Unfortunately policy on vapes & cigarettes ignores evidence @actinosproject.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social

International experts explain why tobacco harm reduction is very important. Especially now in lead up to COP for Framework Convention on Tobacco Control clivebates.com/papers-and-l...

Very powerful graph showing feeble reduction smoking with conventional @fctc-kh-fiocruz.bsky.social MPOWER policy vs dramatic reduction when high rates of smoke-free nicotine products @chancethegardener.bsky.social @jgitchell.bsky.social @profglantz.com link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Sweden’s journey proves a smoke-free future does not require eliminating nicotine, only eliminating harm from burning. Giving smokers choices rooted in science & compassion, Sweden reached its goal years ahead of schedule & improved public health outcomes www.businesstoday.com.my/2025/11/10/h...

Australia adopts vape & smoking policy Mission Creep on steroids! New policies are introduced every few months in yet another sign of policy failure. But more govt doubles down, sooner policy collapse will happen #auspol

Australia’s legal cig market has decreased by 2/3, from about 11 billion cigarettes sold in 2022 to 3.5 billion by end of 2025. @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social share.google/A6TJcvx9mRhj...

Thank you Prof Tikki Pang for being so clear about bankruptcy of anti Tobacco Harm Reduction cult. It has to collapse & it will @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

So much compelling evidence available now #vaping much lower risk than smoking & one of most effective quit smoking aids available. Great Volkow now acknowledges this. @sanho.bsky.social

Recognise him? It’s Al Capone! Al taught us when demand for drug (alcohol) is strong & availability restricted/illegal, supply shifts to black market & can get vy violent. Just what happened with cigs/vapes in Australia @jamomartin.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social

For 1st time, more Great Britain adults use vapes >smoke cigarettes. 5.4 million >16 years vaped daily/occasionally in 2024 vs 4.9 million smoke. ie 10% of population vape vs 9.1% smoke—a figure that’s down from 10.5% in 2023 @ianamossyd.bsky.social filtermag.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?...

Policy on nicotine vapes & other low risk options now impervious to ever increasing quantity & quality of scientific evidence or even severe unintended negative consequences of failure. But policy heading inevitably for collapse sooner or later @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Many countries where smoke-free nicotine options now rapidly replacing deadly cigarettes-despite misinformation tsunami & govt indifference/hostility. Iceland is another country rapidly switching from high to low risk @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social gsthr.org/resources/br...

Smoking cigarettes daily almost extinct in Norwegian women aged 16-19 thanks to substitution by safer, smoke-free nicotine products. That’s one big step for tobacco harm reduction. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 @algore09algor.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social

Number of cigarettes smoked by non-daily smokers recent years in Norway. You can see what’s happening here, can’t you? Why do you think smoking cigarettes is disappearing rapidly in Norway?

Meanwhile 16-19 year old Norwegian men daily smoking heading for extinction after being replaced by daily snus use. It’s called ‘tobacco harm reduction’ & abstinence cultists hate it! #Substitution @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social

..oh and there's this www.news.com.au/finance/econ...

% young people in Denmark who smoke cigarettes daily almost halved from 2014 (15.4%) to 2022 (8.6%), and now fallen to 2.7% (2025). Also reports use of snus & vapes has increased. Replacement of combustible cigarettes by smoke-free nicotine widespread & increasing. How long can denialism survive?

1/2 Japan Tobacco Q3’25 results: Total 🇯🇵cig sales ⬇️another 6.5% vs Q3’24. Overall unit sales heated tobacco products ⬆️by as much as cig sales ⬇️. HTPs now estimated 46.1% of domestic market. www.jt.com/investors/re...

2/2 Both 🇯🇵 &🇺🇸 on verge of smoke-free products outselling cigs: transformation despite policy & information environment discouraging it. @ianamossyd.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @publichealthaus.bsky.social @drbfreeman.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social

More UK adults now use vapes than smoke cigarettes for the first time. Daily vape use is popular among 25-49 year olds, with increasing numbers of women vaping www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sad to see @drbfreeman.bsky.social & Simon Chapman descending to this level. Surely by now they must have realised they’ve chosen wrong side & are defending the indefensible. Vapes much safer than smoking & help many smokers quit. @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Gold medal for Misinformation Hall of Fame to all the anti vape zealots who have persuaded millions of smokers that vapes are as risky, if not even more risky, than combustible cigarettes @profglantz.com @publichealthaus.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social ourworldindata.org/vaping-vs-sm...

Sydney Morning Herald prints anti vape propaganda yet again! No wonder many now believe vapes as dangerous or even more so than cigarettes! Complete utter bollocks! @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social www.smh.com.au/national/for...

Probably no one in world has done more to persuade millions of nonsense that vaping is as, or even more, dangerous than smoking than @profglantz.com This article responds to some other common anti vape myths @chancethegardener.bsky.social @jgitchell.bsky.social ourworldindata.org/vaping-vs-sm...

Greatest achievement of vape opponents been to persuade many vaping is as, or even more dangerous than smoking when globally 8 million smoker deaths/year & no scientifically attributed vaping deaths. Propaganda works @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social
