Attorney focused on harm reduction, nicotine regulation, and FDA policy. Opinions are my own (and sometimes wrong).

One federal clerk's office files pictures of adorable dogs on a burner docket when they're running backend tests on the PACER system. It's the only PACER fee I'll happily pay every time.

@jarvis_best Market only up 0.15% today. How can I be motivated to live when I know I've only made $6,700 today?

[Gregory Conley @GregTHR]

@strallweat Finally, I can print that $6 part I haven't purchased because of the $12 shipping cost.

Bigly recommend hitting episode 3 of this up and coming podcast, Beyond the Breakthrough.

Twitter-resistor @mbsiegel dropping knowledge.

And stay through the end where he answers the $64K question.

Note that this review is very cautious in estimating the toxicant exposure reductions when switching from cigarettes to e-cigs. e.g. E-cigs emit no CO. Never smokers often have an exhaled CO=2ppm. Smokers often have a CO level of 16ppm. So a reduction to 2ppm should be 100%. But here it is estimated as only 87.5% reduction, not accounting for background/endogenous levels. Despite this cautious approach, the study demonstrates large reductions in a wide range of toxicants when switching from cigarettes to e-cigs.

@AlisonSomin I was like this for about four months at the age of nine.

If your daughter is anything like me—and I hope not—geometry will soon come along and confuse her so much that math never interests her again.

We LOVED getting these on deployment. Kids would draw the wildest stuff and teachers clearly weren't reviewing them. They would draw Army men shooting people and blood coming out and then it would say "I hope you don't die." Everyone looked forward to getting them.

A piece worth reading the Google Translate version of.

Sweden is not a magical land where society as a whole recognizes tobacco harm reduction.

False objectivity about snus and smoking on Sveriges Radio

"NMI therefore asked Daniel Öhman why he did not present the research that concludes that snus may be important for smoking cessation, but he does not want to elaborate on his answer"

Sky News has a short video following yesterday's article by Boidin et al in JAMA Cardiology.

"The precise certification basis for the four CrossBar 20K products has not been established from the public product records reviewed."

[2FIRSTS @2FIRSTS]

Special Report | How did CrossBar’s 20,000-puff vapes enter Pennsylvania’s 163-product directory alongside JUUL, NJOY ($MO) and Vuse ($BTI)?
2Firsts found four 13mL CrossBar 20K products listed, while historical PMTA records from the September 9, 2020 deadline involved 1.3mL devices—before today’s 20,000-puff products emerged. The regulatory link between earlier filings by Romo LLC and newer products associated with Blue Nine LLC remains unclear.

I am astounded that this absurd Palau-fronted nicotine prohibition initiative is being taken seriously by what appears to be an expanding cult of drug war ideologues. See my brief comment on the LinkedIn post of its leading proponent, @AshOrg
