Tried and failed for 20 yrs to stop 🚬, used everything from NRT, hypnotherapy,champix, AlenCarr . Quite by chance read about #Vaping in a Pedelec forum, researched extensively on #ecig Forums, tried over 9 yrs ago,stopped 🚬 in 24hrs. Never 🚬 again.

But have also tried HnB products out of curiosity to see if that would also help smokers.
All alternatives should receive encouragement even IF sourced from the Tobacco Industry, the big prize is to help smokers ,by whatever means + what works 4 them.

Ludicrous and unjustified EU (and UK) ban on Snus is doing smokers a gross disservice.
Nordic countries such as Norway,Sweden,Iceland have 🚬rates ~5% < a figure that the UK could replicate if ban reversed
@JavedKhanCEO #TobaccoIndependentReview
StopSmokingServices have a part to play of course, but only where they pro-actively encourage alternatives to 'traditional' NRT or varenicline. Way too many SSS are not in that camp, so have relatively miserable success rates.
@JavedKhanCEO #TobaccoIndependentReview
Changing public (+hence smokers) perception and mindset is crucial. Very negative largely US based media reports of junk studies do unduly influence. WHO(via Bloomberg) not helping here either with their very negative anti-nicotine agenda.
@JavedKhanCEO Children starting smoking issue :- firstly, get the parents to stop 🚬(the vast majority will have started in a 🚬household) secondly, don't let hysteria take hold < by all means give the children full frank accurate info. but not let propaganda have a platform. Access to Stop🚬
@JavedKhanCEO Smoking products shouldn't start at age 18 (in the case of #ecigs etc), a pragmatic approach is required to this whole topic.

@robertjwest @jamiebrown10 @Clive_Bates @BradRodu No connection with the above, just a convenient place to put this 'resource' to demonstrate @CDCDirector @CDCgov @HHSGov @SecAzar inept and/or devious inaction falsely linking nicotine instead of bootleg THC oils to injuries n deaths
