⚠️ Australia has some of the world’s toughest vape bans, yet nicotine use is trending upward. 📈 The latest 2026 wastewater data shows total nicotine consumption hasn’t fallen since 2016. Tougher laws aren't reducing demand; they’re just changing the source. clearingtheair.eu/post/nicotin...

🚨 BREAKING: China’s top vape manufacturers are signaling a coordinated 13% price increase. 📈🇨🇳 The ECCC claims rising costs and the loss of a 13% tax rebate are to blame.

The "dual use" label is hiding a major health win. 🧬🔎 Experts argue that lumping all multi-product users into one category is a "statistical fiction." People who vape frequently while smoking show significantly lower toxicant levels than those who only smoke. ⚖️💨 clearingtheair.eu/post/dual-us...

💥 📢 Opinion Piece: From “complete bullshit” to “harm production”- Roberto Sussman exposes the dogma masquerading as science in tobacco control. He argues that dismissing harm reduction isn't just a policy debate; it’s a rejection of the scientific method itself. clearingtheair.eu/en/post/opin...

🚨 New U.S. study confirms nicotine pouches cut smoking rates by nearly 50% in just 10 weeks. 📉🚭 The data is in: pouches aren't just a trend, they're a vital exit ramp from cigarettes. See the full results: clearingtheair.eu/post/nearly-... #HarmReduction #SmokeFree #QuitSmoking

Japan’s smoking rates have HALVED since 2015. 📉🇯🇵 All thanks to the rapid rise of heated tobacco. While the EU debates inconvenient truths, Japan is actually delivering a smoke-free future. 🚭✨ #HarmReduction #Japan #SmokeFree #PublicHealth clearingtheair.eu/post/japan-s...

The EU Health Commissioner claims smoke-free products don’t reduce risk. Experts call it "textbook science denial." 🇪🇺🚫 @OliverVarhelyi 's big lie continues... clearingtheair.eu/en/post/eu-c...

Another vaping scare study just got debunked. 📉🛑 The "link" between vapes and kidney disease was just lazy science. New data confirms the earlier study failed to account for past smoking. Stop #harmsearching 🚬👻 clearingtheair.eu/post/vaping-...

"Reverse Spin Bias." 🧪🔄 A new study found that in 13 out of 16 medical reviews, vaping was proven effective for quitting smoking, but only 3 researchers actually recommended it. When the data says "Yes" but the scientists say "No". #harmsearching clearingtheair.eu/en/post/stud...

UK: 14,801 vape kits. 3,562 successful switches in just four weeks. 🌊📊 Public Health Dorset’s data is a masterclass in pragmatism. When you lower the barrier to quitting, smokers take the exit ramp. #SwapToStop #DorsetHealth #HarmReduction clearingtheair.eu/en/post/free...

If you ban flavors and tax e-liquids, smokers don’t just "quit"—they substitute. 🔄⚠️ A new 2026 survey shows 31% of young adults in France would go straight back to cigarettes if these "lazy" restrictions pass. Protecting health means protecting the exit ramp 🛑 clearingtheair.eu/post/one-in-...

"Report your neighbor" is the new public health strategy in Singapore. ☎️👁️ And with 15 strokes of the cane and 20 years in jail for selling them, the government has pivoted from a health ban to a full-blown drug war. clearingtheair.eu/en/post/hotl...

The science is clear: that viral study linking vaping to early strokes has been officially RETRACTED. 🚫🧠 Neurology International pulled the paper over "major errors" in data analysis and impossible sample sizes. clearingtheair.eu/en/post/stud...

The EU’s tax plan is upside down. 🙃 They want to cut taxes on cigarettes while hitting nicotine pouches with a 50% retail tax. In what world should the product that kills be more affordable than the one that helps you quit? 🌍 🚬 clearingtheair.eu/en/post/excl...

Banning vape flavors to "protect" people? The data says otherwise. 🚫🍓 A new study from Canada shows cigarette sales jumped by nearly 10% (and up to 21% in some areas) after flavour bans. #HarmReduction #PublicHealth #TobaccoControl clearingtheair.eu/en/post/flav...

The "Quit Like Sweden" debate in Parliament made it clear: you can’t tax and ban your way to a smoke-free country. You need affordable, satisfying alternatives. It’s not rocket science; it’s harm reduction. 🚀 clearingtheair.eu/en/sweden-ta...

The UK is at a crossroads. 🇬🇧 They can either have a "war on nicotine" or a "war on smoking." The government just said pouches are part of the solution. It's time to choose science over harm-searching... 🏁 clearingtheair.eu/en/post/uk-g...

New global data confirms: ✅ Teen smoking: Falling ✅ Vaping: Stabilizing ✅ Combustion: On the way out. Gateway narrative busted, as usual. clearingtheair.eu/en/post/teen...

Testing "passive vaping" in a tiny, sealed 2m³ box isn't science, it’s a setup. By ignoring real-world ventilation and human lung retention, this study creates a "worst-case scenario" that doesn't exist in reality. #harmsearching clearingtheair.eu/post/lab-stu... #harmsearching

Scary vaping headlines are built on bad science. Studies can’t untangle decades of smoking damage, so they blame vapes instead. That’s misleading the public, not protecting it. #EvidenceMatters clearingtheair.eu/post/scary-h...

New COPD trial: switching from cigarettes to vaping for just 2 weeks improved blood pressure and airway resistance. No heart or lung measures got worse. clearingtheair.eu/post/switchi...

“Factually wrong.” Experts tear apart the study @OliverVarhelyi used to claim vapes are as dangerous as smoking. This is the evidence behind the EU’s clampdown. #HarmReduction clearingtheair.eu/en/post/fact...

Calling nicotine vapes “opioid delivery devices” because criminals use vape hardware is like calling cars “drug trafficking tools.” It’s a category error, and it’s intentional. #EvidenceNotFear clearingtheair.eu/post/panic-o...

Adult smokers who vape use flavours and devices for a reason. Take them away, and cigarettes fill the gap. clearingtheair.eu/post/restric...

Gateway studies can’t detect diversion, where vaping replaces smoking. This review says that flaw has skewed policy for a decade. #harmreduction clearingtheair.eu/post/study-c...
