"The majority of Asian governments remain addicted to tobacco and the revenues and jobs it creates and lag far behind much of the world in the acceptance of harm reduction and its application. The result is that most of the half a billion Asian smokers alive today are being deprived of the information, choices and options that most of the rest of the world enjoys, and many hundreds of millions of smokers will face an entirely avoidable premature death until this changes."

" ... the disease seems to have stopped cold at the Canadian border, despite its proximity to Wisconsin. In response to a query about this apparent dividing line, a spokesperson for Health Canada, the country’s national health agency, pointed to its tough laws around vaping, which prohibit all sales of such products, with or without nicotine, to people under the age of 18 and strictly control their promotion at point of sale and even on social media.

Although more research is needed, the evidence so far suggests that the recent vaping deaths in America did not come from products bought in a shop but from badly made items sold on the street. In five out of six cases, the tainted vaping products were bought illicitly; the other involved liquid bought in a legal cannabis shop in the US state of Oregon. #vaping #ecigarettes
