The UK’s Turning Point: what’s next for vaping and THR with Mark Oates | Ep. 81

The United Kingdom has long been considered a global benchmark for progressive harm reduction policies. But today, that reputation is under threat.

In this episode, host Liza Katsiashvili speaks with Mark Oates, Director of WeVape UK, founder of the Snus Association, and one of the most vocal advocates for safer nicotine alternatives.

The conversation dives into the UK’s changing approach to vaping, including the proposal of a nationwide flavour ban, its political motivations, and the real consequences it may bring for public health.

They also explore broader regulatory trends, the role of consumer advocacy, and what this shift means not only for British vapers but for global harm reduction efforts as a whole.

🎧 If you care about evidence-based policy and the future of safer alternatives to smoking, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
