@PruenRichard @TruncaliJohn They'll never gain my trust back in my lifetime. Maybe they will learn for future generations.

[Dale Staten @Dstat_THR]

@TruncaliJohn Yeah, it's completely unethical. It's not actual public health. It's something completely different from what's been going on.

[Dale Staten @Dstat_THR]

@BDB_offiziell Just look to Australia FFS! See how well that's working out for them.

Basic Microeconomics 101 lesson: Tobacco/nicotine is addictive, so demand is relatively inelastic, especially for regular users. They will just move on the curve to cheaper substitutes: I.E. the black market.

@phil_w888 @MoHBotswana Yes you're supposed to have popcorn in there or something by now. Maybe try turning it off and back on again.

@WHOSEARO Your institutional vision prioritizes an impossible nicotine-free utopia, industry punishment, and long-term precaution over immediate harm reduction. That choice HAS a body count attached to it. Your approach is counterproductive to your own stated mission to save lives.

[Dale Staten @Dstat_THR]

@Alex_B_Fr @reason Cigarettes are ok, though.

[Dale Staten @Dstat_THR]

@Vapingit I see ads on tik tok with these kinda things too. "Oh no I'm not vaping, this is a personal aromatic diffuser". Go look at ingredients: vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, natural flavors... oh ok bud 👌

[Dale Staten @Dstat_THR]

@Vapingit They have similar products at my vape shop but they just call them 0mg ecigs. 🤷‍♂️

@WHO_Europe Your institutional vision prioritizes an impossible nicotine-free utopia, industry punishment, and long-term precaution over immediate harm reduction. That choice HAS a body count attached to it 💯%. Your approach is counterproductive to your own stated mission to save lives.

@statsofearth04 @ABC Why would that matter if those other nicotine products are not causing disease and premature death? Would be like wanting to ensure people are not drinking coffee or ingesting other caffeine products.

[Dale Staten @Dstat_THR]

@jkelovuori Simple explanation: They do it because science is done by humans inside a reward system. Funding, careers, politics, ideology, ego, and publication pressure can all push researchers to make the data serve the conclusion instead of making the conclusion serve the data. How to fix?

@GreenEyesOhio @anarchismo @NEWSMAX The outbreak of lung injuries often known as "EVALI" was nothing to do with nicotine vaping

@ConsumerChoiceC Public health orgs lobby executive state governments for this. Tobacco taxes drying up, they stake claim to a small % of that to continue their programs. Someone did the math on pouches and decided $2 per can in my state keeps them employed a little longer. Healthier be damned.

[Dale Staten @Dstat_THR]

@ChaunceyGardner Unclear whether these effects occur in humans AND if they're even negative effects at all.

@dilanesper "If you had a product that addicted 45 million people and killed none of them, I would take that deal. Then you'd have coffee!"

[Dale Staten @Dstat_THR]

@jkelovuori There are other way better ones available online, but for convenience of just grabbing a can at any gas station, velo plus is sufficient for me and they usually have deals buy 2 get $4 off so about $5 per can. 2 cans last me about a week. Works for me 👍

[Dale Staten @Dstat_THR]

@jkelovuori Velo plus? If so, that's my go-to. Very good pouches. The original velo not very good imo.
