"A researcher might spend years conducting a controlled study demonstrating reduced exposure to carcinogens in users who switch away from combustion, but that paper can be neutralised in public perception by a single headline, “Vaping could be worse than smoking,” which travels faster than the research ever could, requires no context to be believed, and requires no nuance to be shared."
It’s wild that the people in Australia doing the tobacco enforcement, don’t even think Australia is doing a good job.

Fick en fråga om smaksättningar vs upphettning i Almedalen. Tycker Roberto sätter fingret på något viktigt här. Även forskarna faktiskt. Vejpning i verkligheten fungerar helt enkelt inte på det här sättet, men koll på ämnen i vätskan är a och o. @patrikstromer
Another dumb study https://t.co/Rl10DQ4oXr Authors find high toxins levels in flavor chemicals puffing a device under overheating conditions (50-90 W with 0.15 ohm coil with insufficient airflow). Almost nobody currently puffs high power & sub-ohm settings. The only justification to use them in an experiment is to generate a lot of toxic stuff to spread fear on #vapes and flavors.
Det är dags att lägga e-cigaretter under luppen. I Almedalen pratar småföretagare och jättar om produktsäkerhet, om hur den svenska marknaden för e-cigg fungerar, vilka som köper dem och allt annat vi hinner på 50 minuter ;-) Välkomna på Biskopsgatan 21, torsdag 11:00. @SDTobbe@LYurkovskiy@ragsjo@dadgostarnooshi@ElisabethSvan@patrikstromer

Happy monday, vapers!
To start the week... Germany's Drug Commissioner wants a flavour ban and higher taxes on vapes. His own study says the data doesn't support it. WVA's @LandlMichael looked at what actually happened in the US, Netherlands, Canada and Australia.
Well, the answer is always the same: bans don't reduce consumption, they build black markets. Full piece here 👇

Wet dreams, indeed. How do these people sleep at night? Its like a driver who cuts past several lanes just to get ahead of a cue, causes an accident, but ignores it and just keeps on driving home, has dinner and falls asleep, content he or she made an impact on society.
And now, he has switched to vaping. Very good choice! Substancially less harmful, and acceptable even for a heavy smoker, reluctant to quit. Reality in a nutshell ;-)
Charlie Sheen says he smoked for 33 years and calculated he did 24 and a half miles of cigarettes end to end
“And it turned out to be 24, if you line them up tip to tip, like 24 and a half miles.”
“Of cigarettes. That's what I smoked.”
“That's crazy. Like I smoked a marathon.”
Och det här betyder väl att organisationer som @nonsmoking och @Cancerfonden vars hela affärsidé bygger på @FCTCofficial MPOWER tappar förståndet helt och hållet - resultatet är absurda kampanjer som inte bygger på varken vetenskap eller sympati - endast moralism.
"MPOWER was built for an era before vaping, pouches and heated tobacco existed at scale; it has no real mechanism for engaging the people who won’t quit cold but will switch."
On the spot as always, @ChaunceyGardner . Basically everything we hear on the "dangers" of nicotine is infected by politics driven by everything but real science.
"Nicotine: The Most Misunderstood Drug in America?" Common misconceptions about nicotine: "Nicotine always raises your risk of heart attacks."

@DrTedros@GiorgiaMeloni@WHO Good for him. I quit smoking ten years ago. My cruch was a vape with bluberry flavours. But I guess I dont matter as much as some minister, since you want to ban the very tool that helped me quit cigarettes.
