    🔥 New episode out now! Kingsley Wheaton got back behind the mic in his recent trip to Brussels for an episode that tackles one of Australia’s most pressing issues: the rise of illicit trade and retail crime. In this episode of The Smokeless Word, he’s joined by Theo Foukkare, the CEO of the AACS (Australian Association of Convenience Stores), who explains the severity of the issue: "The illegal tobacco market which is we believe is north of 50%...The vaping market is almost exclusively provided by the organised crime groups. The facts of the matter are we have a national crisis in Australia on illegal nicotine." Join them for an insightful conversation that sheds light on the realities faced by small businesses, the unintended effects of policy decisions, and what real solutions could look like.

    Our aim is to build a Smokeless World. But how do we achieve this? Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR) provides an essential pathway by offering adult smokers, who would otherwise continue to smoke, access to potentially reduced-risk alternatives. Global cigarette consumption has declined by 20% (from 2012 to 2023) since smokeless products became widely available - a strong indicator of THR’s potential. Despite this progress, some countries' regulatory frameworks have fallen behind scientific understanding. That's why we created Omni™, a dynamic knowledge-sharing resource featuring over 260 peer-reviewed studies to help policymakers, scientists, regulators, and public health experts make informed decisions. Review the evidence. Join the conversation. Download Omni™ today: https://ow.ly/yNnp50XeQ1Z #Omni #SmokelessWorld

    Those who are underage should never use any nicotine product. Preventing underage access to smokeless nicotine products is a priority for BAT. In addition to traditional age-verification techniques, such as asking for ID, we are deploying facial age estimation technology in over 600 stores across Europe. Here is a clip showing our latest pilot in Jersey, Channel Islands, UK, in partnership with The Channel Islands Co-operative Society and Yoti. Early results demonstrate a 99% accuracy rate, and no information or data about the consumer is stored or shared.
