I’m of the opinion tobacco free nicotine (assuming this is the synthetic nicotine you’re referencing, sometimes referred to as nicotine salts) are quite a happy medium. Hopefully they would not make nicotine gum (or pouch equivalent) illegal. Smoking tobacco is almost two orders of magnitude “more dangerous to health” than than the tobacco-free alternatives mentioned. If they want to ban nicotine in addition to tobacco.. then that seems more equivalent to US Prohibition. Giving people safe alternatives is probably the most sustainable approach to eradicating tobacco use. I don’t know, maybe a corollary is sex education. Abstinence only doesn’t work well compared to learning about and having access to contraception.
