The ‘Give Up For Good’ campaign is helping Australians live healthier, nicotine-free lives by empowering them to quit smoking and vaping for good - or to never start. Designed to help protect people of all ages from the harms of tobacco and nicotine addiction, this new phase of the campaign responds to recent research showing most Australians who smoke or vape are open to, or trying to quit, and are seeking information to help them take the next step.

Singapore is cracking down on e-cigarettes like vapes and K-pods, banning them since 2018 to combat drug-laced products. Severe penalties now include fines, caning, and jail time. Customs officers are vigilant, finding hidden vapes in various vehicles at checkpoints. An extensive public health campaign warns of vaping dangers, with a hotline for reporting offenders. The government aims to prevent a rise in drug usage, particularly targeting youths. While the strict measures have support, some criticize the ban as excessive, believing adults should choose for themselves.

Most consumers use nicotine pouches, a smoke-free alternative, to reduce the harm from smoking, according to a Spanish study. Nicotine pouches are smoke-free products that deliver nicotine by placing a small pouch between the gum and upper lip. They do not contain tobacco leaf and produce no smoke or vapor. The Spanish report, "Regulation of Nicotine Pouches," by the Tholos Foundation in collaboration with Dynata, presents findings from a consumer survey conducted in Spain in March 2025. The survey included 515 current users of nicotine pouches.

Despite Cambodia's bans on electronic cigarettes since 2014, the circulation of vapes persists due to weak enforcement, creating concerns over youth addiction and public health risks. Despite a reinforced ban in October 2025, illicit trading continues, with recent seizures and arrests.

E-cigarettes are particularly harmful to youth, with nicotine impacting brain development and causing organ damage. Coordinated government actions are needed to eliminate vaping, including blocking imports and tightening online advertising controls. Parents and communities are urged to discourage vape use and report illegal sales.
