August 21, 2018  Video clip from the Health Ministry of Mexico (in spanish)  (30 seconds)
The video claims that “e-cigarettes harm and kill”, that the vapor releases nicotine which affects those surrounding us and causes cancer, strokes and "kills at an early age” just as tobacco.  This video is broadcast in the radio every 15 or 30 minutes, also in national TV. Millions of ordinary Mexicans are watching this


May 6, 2018, Inspiring testimony of Dr Mark Tyndall in Vancouver (BC Center for disease control), here (look at 2.30 and then 3.35 where he says people with HIV die from their smoking and 5.25 and 6.15 where he says he congratulates people he sees vaping in the street!) by Brent Stafford of Regulator Watch.com  (here the link to vimeo) producer of Reg Watch

I have put the following at the bottom because I think they are not useful

September 29, 2020 beginning of limited local airing of You don't know Nicotine, by Aaron Biebert 

September 21, 2020, first airing on ARTE TV channel of Nicotine, a drug with a future (90 minutes) by Bärbel Merseburger-Sill  in French or German. This film is extremely biased against nicotine and vaping. I wonder why. It's interesting to study how it disinforms by cherry picking speakers and ignoring what does not fit their antivape argument. ARTE should be ashamed of airing such a film or program an antidote, like the new film by Aaron or a some of the 'oldies' listed below.\

October 2, 2019: interview of Patrick Bédué (Vapexpo) by Ghyslain Armand (in French) 40 minutes

E-cigs are -by far- the main choice by young smokers who want/try to quit, in France

 Just looked at the abstracts from one of the most recent studies published in France concerning young smokers trying to quit (in French). The figure below shows they prefer, by far, to use e-cigs to try to quit.

The abstract does not elaborate about how e-cigarettes are incorporated in the program and how those young people obtain and choose e-cigs. Unfortunately, vaping and e-cigs are not mentioned once in the official press release from the Health Ministry. They keep ignoring the reality and keep pushing the traditional approaches that don't work :(
