Australian researchers (NDARC) found nicotine vapes triple the quit rate compared to traditional therapies like gum or lozenges for low-income smokers. In the real-world study, 28.4% of vape users quit smoking after six months versus only 9.6% using gum/lozenges. Though effective, the study noted most quitters (58%) continued vaping, highlighting the need for further support to eventually stop nicotine entirely.

Smoke Free Sweden's research finds nicotine pouches are pivotal in Sweden's drive to a smoke-free nation, notably boosting women's quit rates. Since 2016, they've nearly doubled female cessation, pushing smoking rates to 5.3%. Dr. Marewa Glover confirms they're safe, socially accepted, and the top quitting tool for a smoke-free future.

WHO's 2025 anti-flavor campaign wrongly targets adult-focused nicotine products, ignoring underage access issues from lax age verification and illicit markets. While the FDA backs harm reduction, bans risk driving demand underground, hurting businesses, and limiting quit tools. Solutions lie in stricter age controls and evidence-based policies, not panic-driven bans.
