And with this, 3 of the 46 members of the Chicago City Council who voted to ban flavored vaping products (including the one who first floated the idea, Alderman Burke) are under federal indictment.
Your time will probably come soon, @RoderickTSawyer.

It's not like DC is less than 70 square miles, features public transportation that easily connects it to Virginia, and already has an active and unregulated cannabis delivery sector.
This will do less than the Massachusetts flavor ban, which already achieved next to nothing.
Never before have so many people forwarded me the same article. It's bittersweet. Kudos to @JoeBiden & Congress for at last supporting #HarmReduction but a tragedy that it took decades for the fed govt to do what so many other govts have since the 1980s.

This randomized trial found that #Ecigs with nicotine delivery approaching that of a cigarette are more effective in helping ambivalent smokers to quit cigarette smoking.
RESEARCH: Study by @JonathanFoulds finds people who have little/no intent to quit smoking (ie. potential "accidental quitters") have higher abstinence rates using vapor products with nicotine delivery close to what's found in cigarettes.

"Our study highlights the rapid spread of HTPs in Japan, especially among smokers ... The world highest prevalence of HTP use ... should be carefully monitored as it can forewarn other countries about the spread..."
If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything is a nail.
This is starting now.
@CongressmanRaja of course starts by urging FDA to not authorized any flavored or 'high nicotine' products.
@RepCloudTX encourages FDA to protect youth and take a serious look at the science on vaping for smoking cessation.
In tobacco control, your career will advance if you find harms. Lots of harms.
If your research finds benefits from #SaferNicotine, your career will hit a wall. You will be excommunicated from scientific meetings, journals will refuse to publish your work...
Her and and her co-author have protected their tweets. My prediction is they'll write a paper in the next 18 months crying that they were bullied for writing a paper on how best to psychologically manipulate people through stigma.
Hang on (it's not complicated): Smoking shortens the lives of 50% of lifelong smokers 10 years
70 carcinogens cause cancer
Solid particulates (TAR) & carbon monoxide (CO) cause heart disease
TAR causes COPD
Nicotine vapor has no TAR, no CO, and 99.5% fewer/lower carcinogens
As revealed in the below video, the goal of the 'brains' behind the operation suing Juul and Altria isn't to bankrupt Juul, but to extract a settlement agreement that states can then strong-arm other manufacturers into abiding by.
WASHINGTON DC: (HEADS UP!) Flavor ban (with hookah exemption) has passed 1st hurdle. Proposal is based on false narratives that vape flavors only exist so Big Tobacco can "hook kids" and teens experimenting with vaping is the same thing as teen smoking.

8 years ago when I smoked I would of never dreamed of hiking a trail at Death Valley National Park with a temperature of 124 F. But, thanks to Vaping I got to enjoy another family adventure. If you smoke then please try Vaping. #vapingsavedmylife#vapingsaveslives
