The EU law on disposable systems with a capacity of more than 2014ml has also been in effect in Switzerland since 2. However, so far it has not been enforced. This has changed following input from a cantonal chemist and has therefore also been implemented in Switzerland since November 2023. This means that it is no longer allowed to import disposable vapes with a capacity of more than 2ml. But the manufacturers are remedying the situation. Read what's new here.

What options do you have as a user, what alternatives are there? In this blog post we want to explain to you what it's about and what you can do.

A Cochrane review (of several studies) shows that e-cigarettes with nicotine are more likely to help people quit smoking than e-cigarettes without nicotine and other nicotine replacement or behavioral therapies. You can find out more about it here.

The study was led by Jamie Hartmann-Boyce. "In England, unlike the rest of the world, e-cigarettes are already seen by public health authorities as a tool to help people quit smoking," said Hartmann-Boyce.

This study was carried out in Sweden and aims to show the connection between smoking diabetes patients and cardiovascular disease. Fredrik Nyström took over the management.

“It is a well-known fact that bad news dominates the headlines and vaping stories are no exception. Therefore, I am not very surprised that, despite the important public health implications, this study has received very little media attention. The irony is that if our data showed signs of lung damage, the news would have been everywhere (and we probably have a better chance of securing funding for a larger study!)." - Prof. Dr. Riccardo Polosa in an interview with “Ashtray” UK
