@TrumpDailyPosts The US is our greatest threat. We need to stop playing world police. When we crater a county fir mucking about with our interest we leave them in the stone age
@JeromeAdamsMD@LisaCiarlone Lets address the actual issue.
We have youth smokers, young adult smokers, senior smokers, yet we arent banning cigarettes. Full stop.
There is zero excuse for the crucifixion that the vapor industry has gone through while cigarettes proliferate all walks of life.
Honest question- why do you value the agency/responsibility of a child or college age student to make good choices, so differently than you view the agency / responsibility of a long time, fully mature adult smoker? I honestly don’t understand why so many people frame the latter as helpless and to be protected and shielded from their prior poor choices while the former (and younger, less mature) should just be on their own to fight against the tobacco industry and nicotine addiction?
Respectfully, adults 21+ using legal nicotine alternatives instead of cigarettes is not the public health crisis it is being portrayed as. Of course, nothing is better than breathing nothing but fresh air and being completely free from nicotine and smoking altogether, that should always be the ultimate goal.
Youth vaping has dropped to the lowest levels ever recorded, with daily use now around 1.4%, yet the conversation keeps shifting to college-aged adults making legal choices instead of focusing on cigarettes.
The real public health catastrophe still killing over 8 million people globally and more than 480,000 Americans every single year.
The good news nobody wants to talk about is that cigarette smoking among young adults and college-aged Americans has collapsed over the last two decades, falling roughly 60–70% since the late 1990s. That is one of the greatest public health victories of our lifetime. 🙌🏻
If a 23 year old adult switches from combustible cigarettes to a non-combustible nicotine product, that is harm reduction.
We cannot keep moving the goalposts every time youth vaping declines while millions of adults are still smoking today and will die before their time because their lives and their struggle to quit combustible cigarettes are no longer being given meaningful consideration.
@JeromeAdamsMD@LisaCiarlone It has triple the success rate of gums and patches. Thats why it had to be done dirty as it was. Gotta protect the government coffers, the tobacco companies and the pharma corps. Nothing government does is about public health. If it was cigarettes would be banned.
@JeromeAdamsMD@LisaCiarlone This was never about public health. This was about the consolidation of the industry into major players. This has had 0 bearing, impact or concern for public health. This country took a consumer made solution to a government made, protected, profited off of problem and killed it.
@GovPressOffice Dude from the party that tried to make MAPS minor attracted person acceptable, the party harboring illlegals, the party whos policies enabled Iryna Zarutska to be murdered, the party who let in untold millions of UNVACCINATED people during a "pandemic".
Please shut the fuck up.
@YouTube how is it that you strike down a dedicated creator like this meanwhile bogus pods systems are showing up in ads literally for sale.... using AI to moderate large channels and destroy someone's work like this is abhorrent and only furthers the migration off your platform.
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.
