Following passage of the Tobacco & Vapes Bill, there will be consultations on clauses in the bill which threaten effectiveness of less harmful nicotine alternatives to smoking. NNA will advise on these and submit evidence but needs your support. Please consider the option below.

@MrCryptoUSA @GodswillChemist “Formaldehyde, arsenic, etc.” are scam anti-vaper headline talking points. Con artists with suspect political agendas exaggerate risk & abuse a basic principle of toxicology. They maintain smoking & call for regulations that create the unregulated markets in which risks increase.

All over America, county and state health departments are, demonstrably, lying to the public claiming "youth vaping is rising." You are lying. Why?

Testing "passive vaping" in a tiny, sealed 2m³ box isn't science, it’s a setup. By ignoring real-world ventilation and human lung retention, this study creates a "worst-case scenario" that doesn't exist in reality. #harmsearching https://t.co/2nJxljn755 #harmsearching

@GodswillChemist Vaping is much less harmful than smoking. It is the most effective way out of smoking. Vaping is not damaging; chemist bots and corrupt Bloomberg doctors are, because they maintain deadly combustible tobacco smoking through lies and exaggerations about low-risk alternatives.

[Global Forum on Nicotine @GFNicotine]

America’s tobacco policy has turned self-destructive. Safer nicotine products are demonized and restricted while combustible cigarettes remain widely available.
Today @michelleminton explains, how fear and ideology replaced evidence in U.S. tobacco control.

[James A @GoBeepUK]

@zaidkdahhaj The paper focuses on unregulated/illicit disposable brands with manufacturing issues.

Vaping is proven vastly cleaner than smoking.

Exaggerating risks and discouraging switching based on media-misrepresented studies is horrendous for population health and your credibility.

Vaping does not cause popcorn lung.

If you are trying to stop smoking vaping is a clean, safer and much healthier source of nicotine than cigarettes as Respiratory Physician, Irem Patel, explains.

@TonyElkins @Matt_Camenzuli "There is no evidence that the colour and logos on a pack of cigarettes is an influencing factor on people choosing to start smoking."

"Tobacco sales rose after plain packaging"

[James A @GoBeepUK]

@CognitiveVerb @Matt_Camenzuli It is easy to identify intolerant, freedom-hating authoritarians & cigarette tax lobbyists who call for laws that have historically failed & cannot be enforced. Because they pose a greater threat to society than people engaging in consumer behaviours, they should be imprisoned.
