“Cochrane's systematic evidence review is up to 61 studies now. And every time they re-do this, the evidence gets stronger: Nicotine vapes help smokers quit, and they're more effective in doing so than nicotine patches and nicotine gum..” ~ Charles Gardner, Ph.D..
Hi Dear Friends,
It's always a pleasure to greet you. The "topic of the month" for February will be #TherapeuticNicotine. We will soon send you a link to dozens of peer-reviewed studies, most of which tested nicotine patches. All studies show nicotine health benefits, from weight control to reducing symptoms of ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, Tourette's syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and more. Once you have this resource, We will kindly ask if you can send out at least one social media post each day for the remainder of February. We'll try to make this as easy as possible (one click). The list is amazing. Collectively, we are legion. Let's see if we can help shift the discussion on social media. The hashtags will be #SNEWS and #TherapeuticNicotine.
Anesvap presented a book that contains 1500 testimonials from people who quit smoking with vaping, you can find the book here.
The #GFN22 has announced its 1st Keynote Speaker: Marc Gunther. The Global Forum on Nicotine will take place in Warsaw from the 16th to the 18th of June, the event will also be Livestream, if you like to register please click here.
Dr. Colin Mendelsohn's book is now available as E-Book, you can find it in Amazon US, Amazon AU, and Booktopia.
Please check out our last report titled Position on Potential Bans of ‘Flavoured’ Nicotine Vapes, which we think can help all of us, while we fight to keep flavors on Tobacco Harm Reduction products available for adults since we know they play an important role in successfully quitting smoking.
Thank you very much for your support.
