15 August 2014: advert for Nicorette QuickMist

Published 15 September 2014

An individual complained to MHRA about an advert for Nicorette QuickMist (nicotine) produced by Johnson & Johnson Ltd for consumers, which appeared on a Northern Line tube train in July 2014.

The complainant had concerns that the headline 바카라 사이트Don바카라 사이트t Vape. Quit for Good.바카라 사이트 was inappropriate, misleading and potentially harmful. The complainant alleged that the advertiser had no evidence for promoting its product as an alternative to vaping (using an electronic cigarette) or providing negative messages to consumers about vaping.

MHRA did not uphold the complaint and considered that the advert was designed to encourage current smokers to quit with an authorised medicine rather than choosing to vape. MHRA found that the claim 바카라 사이트quit for good바카라 사이트 was consistent with the product바카라 사이트s licensed indication for use as an aid to stop smoking.

No electronic cigarette product is currently available as a medicine for use as an aid to stop smoking.
