GFN News #184 | Vaping Under Fire! The NNA’s Fight to Save Harm Reduction

from GFN News · host GFN.TV

Is the UK at a "regulatory crossroads"? As the Tobacco and Vapes Bill moves toward Royal Assent, a new government consultation threatens to legally ban vaping in all indoor spaces where smoking is already prohibited. In this interview, Bernice Evans, Chair of the New Nicotine Alliance (NNA), joins us to discuss the launch of the "Save Vaping" campaign. We dive deep into why treating vaping the same as smoking isn't just scientifically flawed—it's a massive risk to public health. - May 8, 2026 (11:59 PM): Deadline to submit your response to the government consultation. - October 1, 2026: New vaping taxes and business regulations are set to begin. Take Action: Your voice matters! Visit SaveVaping.org to find resources on how to respond to the consultation and contact your MP. Don't let misinformed legislation undermine years of progress in harm reduction.
