Read moreYorkshire Cancer Research is actively working to dispel growing public misconceptions about the safety of vaping compared to traditional smoking, particularly in light of ongoing public health discussions.

Read moreFor decades, nicotine has been public health enemy number one, inextricably linked to the devastating consequences of combustible tobacco. In the understandable and vital quest to discourage smoking, nicotine itself has often been demonized. However, the advent and proliferation of tobacco harm reduction (THR) products – including vapes, heated tobacco, and oral nicotine pouches – are forcing a more nuanced conversation. These products offer adults a way to consume nicotine, a naturally occurring, non-intoxicating stimulant, without the thousands of harmful chemicals produced by burning tobacco. Yet, a legacy of anti-nicotine messaging persists, potentially harming not only adult smokers seeking safer alternatives but also millions of neurodivergent individuals who may, knowingly or unknowingly, be using nicotine for its cognitive and mood-regulating effects.

Read moreThe upcoming UK ban on disposable vapes, set to take effect next month, could inadvertently push up to 200,000 current vapers back to smoking traditional cigarettes, a new report from the Future Health Research Centre warns. While the ban aims to protect the environment and address the alarming rise in youth vaping rates (from 0.8% in 2013 to 7.2% in 2023), the research suggests it risks undermining progress towards a “smokefree” Britain if users are not adequately supported in their “quit journey.”
