\n

Latest figures from Germany show that the vilification of vaping has resulted in smoking rates increasing \u2013 including by a whopping 86% in teens. The data comes from the German DEBRA study, the equivalent to the English Smoking Toolkit Study<\/a> and shows that the country that gave us the mighty Taifun atomiser tanks and stunning Dicodes mods needs to do some serious work on addressing tobacco harm reduction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The project describes itself: \u201cThe German Study on Tobacco Use (<\/i>Die Deutsche Befragung zum Rauchverhalten<\/i><\/a> – DEBRA) is a bi-monthly representative, face-to-face household survey on the use of tobacco and alternative nicotine delivery systems (ANDS, such as e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products) in the German population.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThe study is coordinated by the Addiction Research and Clinical Epidemiology unit (<\/i>Suchtforschung und klinische Epidemiologie<\/i><\/a>) at the Institute of General Practice of the Heinrich-Heine-University Duesseldorf.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThe study has been funded by the German Ministry of Health (2019 \u2013 current) and the Ministry for Innovation, Science and Research of the German Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia (2016 \u2013 2019).\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
