Was good to see less people smoking in Warsaw and more using safer #nicotine products, but still more to win over and many biases to overcome #GFN23

Clive Bates doing what he does best. Taking a rational approach to an often irrational debate on e-cigarettes #GFN23 .

.Martin C making a very good point at #GFN23 on the risks of a prescription-only route for adult smokers to access e-cigarettes which could reduce consumer choice and alter perceptions of alternative products which reduce smoking prevalence.
