The WVA (World Vapers Alliance) have been investigating successful tobacco harm reduction policies worldwide to prove it is possible to create effective regulation.<\/h4>\n

You can also read the full report in PDF format \u201cLearning from the best: A Tobacco Harm Reduction Primer<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n

The main countries singled out for praise are the UK, Sweden, Japan and New Zealand for various different sectors of THR.<\/p>\n

Wonderful news, we are regulated, but I feel that compared to the ignorance and negativity towards vaping elsewhere in the world we are doing pretty well.<\/p>\n

Sweden is close to becoming the first country to reach a \u201cSmoke Free\u201d goal with their current smoking rates of 5.6%! Snus, Vaping and Nicotine pouches are easily available and have surpassed combustible smoking.<\/p>\n

New Zealand gets commended for their communication and their tough stance on tobacco. Plus their Ministry of Health recommend vaping and produce accurate communication such as their website \u201cVaping Facts<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n
