# Vaping policy impact snapshot

For one jurisdiction considering a measure (flavour ban, disposable ban, tax) and two or three comparator countries.

## 1. Prevalence baseline

1. Find tobacco and e-cigarette indicators with @[WHO GHO · Indicators](alexandria:who-int/indicators/indicators) (query tobacco use, e-cigarette).
2. Pull values for the jurisdiction and comparators with @[WHO GHO · Data](alexandria:who-int/indicators/data) (spatial_dims ISO3, sex dimension where offered). Note survey years.

## 2. Public behaviour signal

3. Read @[Trends · Interest over time](alexandria:firecrawl-trends/trends/interest_over_time) for disposable vape, vape shop and nicotine pouches in each country (geo) across the policy date. A drop or shift to substitutes after a measure is a signal worth testing.
4. Check @[Trends · Related queries](alexandria:firecrawl-trends/trends/related_queries) for rising substitutes or cross-border buying terms.

## 3. Law as written

5. Find the UK instrument with @[legislation.gov.uk · Search legislation](alexandria:legislation-gov-uk/legislation/search_legislation) (title vapes or tobacco), read the key provision with @[legislation.gov.uk · Get provision](alexandria:legislation-gov-uk/legislation/get_provision) and commencement with @[legislation.gov.uk · List changes](alexandria:legislation-gov-uk/legislation/list_changes).

## 4. Evidence

6. Search @[PubMed · Search](alexandria:pubmed-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov/publications/search) (e-cigarette policy plus youth, flavour, natural experiment; last three years) and read key abstracts with @[PubMed · Article](alexandria:pubmed-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov/publications/article).
