Thank you Prof Tikki Pang for being so clear about bankruptcy of anti Tobacco Harm Reduction cult. It has to collapse & it will @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

‘The crisis we’re in’: Australia’s tobacco underbelly dwarfs legal market Astonishing new figures have revealed the scale of Australia’s tobacco underbelly, which will dwarf the legal market after doubling in volume in just three years.

Australia’s legal cig market has decreased by 2/3, from about 11 billion cigarettes sold in 2022 to 3.5 billion by end of 2025. @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Major tobacco company blames Albanese govt’s excise for black market boom British American Tobacco Australia (BATA) has blamed the Albanese government’s enormous excise for the unprecedented surge in black market business and multi-billion-dollar revenue losses.

Sale of illegal cigarettes in Australia doubled since 2022, from 3.1 billion to a whopping 6.6 billion by end 2025. Not sustainable!! @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

Hey Simon, Becky, Cancer Council, @publichealthaus.bsky.social How’s sky high cigarette taxes & vape denialism workin’ for ya? @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social @squigglyrick.bsky.social

Also .. press for cig taxes keep on being increased forever & governments agree. Then smokers switch to now buy from flourishing black market & taxpayers lose billions! Organised crime laughing! Well done zealots! #auspol @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Meanwhile 16-19 year old Norwegian men daily smoking heading for extinction after being replaced by daily snus use. It’s called ‘tobacco harm reduction’ & abstinence cultists hate it! #Substitution @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social

Many countries where smoke-free nicotine options now rapidly replacing deadly cigarettes-despite misinformation tsunami & govt indifference/hostility. Iceland is another country rapidly switching from high to low risk @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Smoking cigarettes daily almost extinct in Norwegian women aged 16-19 thanks to substitution by safer, smoke-free nicotine products. That’s one big step for tobacco harm reduction. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Policy on nicotine vapes & other low risk options now impervious to ever increasing quantity & quality of scientific evidence or even severe unintended negative consequences of failure. But policy heading inevitably for collapse sooner or later @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

For 1st time, more Great Britain adults use vapes >smoke cigarettes. 5.4 million >16 years vaped daily/occasionally in 2024 vs 4.9 million smoke. ie 10% of population vape vs 9.1% smoke—a figure that’s down from 10.5% in 2023 @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Greatest achievement of vape opponents been to persuade many vaping is as, or even more dangerous than smoking when globally 8 million smoker deaths/year & no scientifically attributed vaping deaths. Propaganda works @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social

Formaldehyde and antifreeze: What’s inside one of the most popular illegal vapes in Australia Alibarbar, one of the most popular vape brands in Australia, despite being illegal, has potentially dangerous levels of nicotine and toxic contaminants.

Sydney Morning Herald prints anti vape propaganda yet again! No wonder many now believe vapes as dangerous or even more so than cigarettes! Complete utter bollocks! @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

Sad to see @drbfreeman.bsky.social & Simon Chapman descending to this level. Surely by now they must have realised they’ve chosen wrong side & are defending the indefensible. Vapes much safer than smoking & help many smokers quit. @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

@profglantz.com is par for the course among anti vape activists. This isn’t science. Its ideology. And anyway safer, smoke-free nicotine options are rapidly replacing combustible cigarettes @ianamossyd.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social

The deported kingpin, the Chinese gang and the vape brand controlling an Australian black market Intelligence shows notorious kingpin Kazem “Kaz” Hamad has partnered a China-based crime group to command the entire supply chain of illegal vapes flooding the Australian market.

What chance does Australian law enforcement have of substantially denting vape trade? Zero!

Thank you Mr Speaker. My question is to @tonyburkemp.bsky.social Minister good luck with your law enforcement illegal cigarettes jihad. Please give even 1 example where a law enforcement crusade against a well established black market worked #auspol @jamomartin.bsky.social @squigglyrick.bsky.social

Wonder how many lung cancer deaths worldwide could be prevented in next 20 years if international health establishment accepted existing overwhelming evidence for vaping & other smoke-free nicotine options? @chancethegardener.bsky.social @jgitchell.bsky.social @sanho.bsky.social

Stan, appealing to a respected organisation isn’t an argument. If you believe vaping nicotine is unsafe, where’s your evidence? Now ~140 million vaping in dozens of countries starting from ~0 in 2010. Where are deaths? Hospital admissions? Vaping much lower risk than smoking @jgitchell.bsky.social

Animal ‘experiments in conjunction with absence of any observed ill effects in patients exposed to both triethylene glycol & propylene glycol vapors for months provide assurance air containing these vapors in amounts up to saturation point completely harmless’

Vaping “likely to be far less harmful than combustible tobacco cigarettes” according to National Academies of Sciences, Engineering & Medicine. @profglantz.com accept NASEM judgment? If not, why not? Thank you for your attention to this matter @chancethegardener.bsky.social @jgitchell.bsky.social

Vaping “been commercially available for > 2 decades, & there is increasing evidence of their potential to improve population health”. Exactly! Technological changes sometimes ⬆️ & sometimes ⬇️ risk. Authorities sometimes clearly got it wrong & increased risk mis perception by public

Anti tobacco harm reduction activists know they can’t campaign on scientific evidence because the facts strongly favour their opponents. So they campaign on bogus evidence like “a whole new generation addicted to nicotine” even though they know it’s BS @drugpolicy.org @harmreductionintl.bsky.social

Air-quality reforms in China ⬇️concentrations of fine particulates by ~ 1/2 since 2013 preventing estimated 2.2 mn premature deaths/year. Analysis shows average citizen now lives 2.9 years longer with clean-air gains rivalling those from decades of US environmental policy -but achieved in 1 decade
