@ChaunceyGardner@ProfGlantz wait... i thought vaping causes heart attacks before you even start using it 🤔 another bold conclusion made my professor glantz...
weird that most of the “studies” that say “vaping bad” come out of the US where our state & federal govts are completely dependent on cigarette taxes. countries like the UK are building vape shops in hospitals to encourage smokers to choose a far less harmful alternative (>95%)
German experts say this @ProfGlantz study is seriously messed up too: "The study has serious methodological flaws, and the conclusion that e-cigarette use causes lung diseases such as COPD, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema is incorrect."

@ChaunceyGardner agreed. i cannot count the times i yelled “shut up” at my screen. i came for legitimate statements of policy, not to watch each side insult and talk over each other. but i guess this is what our political system is now... division division division...
@truthinitiative@CAgovernor activate black market.
prepare EVALI 2.0, yet again caused by drug dealers selling tainted, unregulated products.
ready task force to fight newly created black market, costing taxpayers millions of dollars.
engage.
good job, team 👌🏻
@truthinitiative@FDA@CDCgov doesn’t it feel wrong using the term “epidemic” during a time when a worldwide virus is actually killing people? 4.4% daily use is, in no way, an epidemic. the UK embraces vaping as harm reduction, looks at the science honestly & they don’t have a youth-use issue. weird... 🤔
@truthinitiative@truthorange@TheDailyShow@roywoodjr vaping is not tobacco. most of the vaping industry has nothing to do with big T. vaping is a consumer-driven solution to tobacco. no child should vape, smoke, drink or use drugs & we have laws that prohibit each of those. enforce the law & leave adult choice alone.
@truthinitiative vaping is harm reduction meant for adults. do we shut down alcohol sales when 14% of high schoolers binge drink? no, we regulate the sale & punish the stores which sell to kids. we also punish the kids who break the law. 4.4% of high schoolers vape daily. is that an epidemic? 🤔
this is just one tax that my state of CA gets on cigarette sales. think about what they are actually trying to protect when the flavor ban gets enacted in 2021. vape shops will be shut down but you can always still buy those cancer sticks.

@ParentsvsVape@CBSNews we vapers have been asking for regulation for over 10 years. we want studies, we want sensible regulation. all we get are skewed studies, bans & fear mongering... congratulations on creating a huge black market which is impossible to regulate. #vaping=harm reduction for adults.
@ParentsvsVape#vaping is not tobacco. IMO big tobacco has no place in the industry. isn’t it interesting that states are completely dependent on cigarette taxes to function? if every american stopped smoking cigs the US would go under. think about that before you group us in w/the real killer
@RepDeSaulnier@ParentsvsVape how do you feel about taking a proven healthiER alternative (#vaping) away from adults? in your crusade to “protect the children” you are sending millions of adults back to deadly cigarettes. but i guess you’ll maintain your funding from tobacco taxes 🤷🏼♂️ #MSABloodmoney
@ParentsvsVape bans only create a thriving black market. if you knew anything about #vaping you would know it is substantially less harmful than smoking. no children should smoke, vape, drink or use drugs. none. but taking the choice to switch away from adult smokers is wrong.
@ParentsvsVape@themotleyfool how about this, make big tobacco stay out of the vaping industry and leave it to the people who actually believe in its legitimate harm reduction benefits... it is for ADULTS seeking a safER alternative. why should #vaping pay for the damage smoking has done? 🤷🏼♂️
@ParentsvsVape the @RCPLondon, the same group of physicians who tried to warn the US of the dangers of smoking in the 60’s, has done long term studies on #vaping, finding that it is AT LEAST 95% less harmful than smoking cigarettes. vaping=harm reduction for adults. period.
@ParentsvsVape haven’t multiple vaping studies from Glantz been retracted? did you know that in the UK they build vape shops in hospitals & encourage their citizens to switch to #vaping as a substantially less harmful alternative?
@cigarbabe2@TobaccoFreeKids@truthinitiative but the billboard told me nicotine=brain poison! it has an equals sign, i can’t argue with math 🤯 oh wait...
#vaping = >95% less harmful than smoking. even more in-depth study coming soon from @RCPLondon possibly showing it’s really >97-98%... ⬅️ actual math #vapingsaveslives
