Baby Goes Silent After Seeing Mom Clearly For The First Time

[GrimmGreen @GrimmGreen]

After 16 years, my @YouTube channel (GrimmGreen) was terminated today with no real explanation.

I’ve built my content around harm reduction, helping adult smokers quit, and advocating for science-based policies.

This feels like a huge mistake. If you believe in THR, free speech, and the mission we’ve been on, please help me get YouTube’s attention.

@TeamYouTube I’m asking for a real human to review my case.

I’ve never promoted anything illegal. I’ve never targeted youth. I’ve worked tirelessly to be a responsible voice in the vaping and harm reduction space. But like many creators in this space, it seems I’ve been swept up in an overly aggressive moderation wave.

[Allison @alli_vapes]

Deplatforming one of the most responsible voices in tobacco harm reduction sends a chilling message.

Education ≠ promotion.
Science ≠ targeting youth.

@TeamYouTube, please review this case—fairly and transparently.

Pennsylvanians: the Senate is considering HB 1425, which could rip nearly all vapes from the shelves. It’s time to make your voice heard and stand up for your freedom to vape. https://t.co/u2Apvr6BAY

Attention vape fam 🚨 we are putting together a list of businesses that have been forced to shut down due to unclear regulations and government overreach. If you know of any stores, shops, distributors, etc. that have closed in the past 12 months, please help by sharing their information.

An open letter to @realDonaldTrump @POTUS
"FDA Overreach Is Killing Small Businesses You Promised to Protect."
"We urge you to hold FDA accountable, demand a fair and workable regulatory framework, and stand up for the tens of thousands of small businesses, workers, and millions of adult consumers who rely on this industry as an alternative to deadly combustible tobacco."

The U.S. vaping industry is made up of entrepreneurs like Jon, who are proud to help Americans across the country quit smoking for good.

[Mark Anton @Vaporadvocate]

Without a doubt this is truth! It is a shame that the pioneers that brought this to the table are being barred from sitting at said table. Once again, this gov. both dem and rep. show their true character, lacking both mercy, justice and compassion. It is all about the $$$$$.

"FDA Vape Regs Need Bold Reform" by @slsatel
"Although warehouse and convenience store raids make good television, they won’t put a dent in the illicit market. But even if they somehow did, many of the 25 million current adult vapers who use safer, if illicit, options will switch back to lethal cigarettes. The cigarette companies will be grateful for return customers, but no one else will be.
How did we get to the point where criminals are meeting Americans’ demand for safer nicotine products while the official regulator, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is effectively missing in action?"

The FDA APPH is:
- a failure
- a sign post with no true meaning
- a means to do anything they want at will and call it APPH
- a means to protect Big Tobacco user fees
- a means to reject 26m PMTA's
- a means to discredit MDO rejections

Meanwhile... they could be saving lives.

Solid recommendations from yours truly & @IWF

[Jay Trout @JayTrout1965]

FYI, this is not just an industry grievance. I’m a consumer and want to continue to vape candy and dessert flavored nicotine. I’m 60 years old and smoke free for over a decade, thanks to vaping.

VAPERS LETS GO!!! MAKE THE CALLS!!!
Two volleys of calls 11am and 2 pm to concentrate their effectiveness.

CALL TO ACTION
All vapor products are being targeted by the federal government. American manufactured along with Chinese products are not being differentiated. We need everyone - consumers and industry members alike - to send a message before ALL VAPOR PRODUCTS are outlawed and confiscated.

COPY and PASTE the following message, and send (or call) to your Congressman, Senator, and the White House. Link to find your representatives below.

“Please stop the confiscation of American made vapor products! American manufacturers have consistently complied with the FDA’s own disastrous PMTA process - even when the FDA has not. Trump promised to save American vapor. American-made refillable vapor products are NOT Chinese Disposables. Target Chinese products - not American companies who have only tried to comply and are now paying the price! We need PMTA reform, not blanket seizures and bloated policies that only favor Big Tobacco products!”

@everyone remember you don't need to use the script specifically its just an outline. We are pissed off consumers not an astroturf campaign.

[Lance Churchill @LanceChurchill]

The Vapor Technology Association is starting a fund-raising and grass roots campaign to save vaping in the US. This is so important. We are at a crossroads.
