I used to teach Healthcare Ethics to medical and nursing students, and I approve this message!
I would note that the ethical principle of "Autonomy" includes Truth-Telling...
We have finally reached the magic milestone of 100 medical doctors who will now recommend harm reduction vaping, pouches, snus etc., if others methods have failed.
We've still got a lot of work to do. We want more doctors to learn the safety and health benefits of using 1)2
The wife of @Algor09algore, @Bludn_Gore, has asked @X to restore her husband's wrongly suspended @premium account. Several of us who know him have also asked. #TossTheBots and get a human on this, please! We miss Alan. @elonmusk@Support@Safety
Here is how old-school tobacco control views the world:
Epic battle between GOOD (them) and EVIL (industry)
Here is how the actual stakeholders view the world:
Tragic battle to stop old-school tobacco control "experts" from literally killing them.
Latest blog by @Algore09Algor The Youth Narrative Strikes again; But Evidence doesn't support it. @X@premium Plz do a "human" review on this wrongful suspension. We need Alan back, sharing his blogs on X. He has never broken any X rules in the 7 yrs, I've known him. #Reinstate #fixit https://t.co/R3kWIWkoKL
@BarrenRiverHD Teens should not vape nicotine. But YOU should not lie to teens. Nicotine:
Increases focus, attention and memory (like caffeine)
Decreases stress and anxiety
Your claim that nicotine puts people "on edge" is logically equivalent to claiming coffee causes fatigue.
@CoalitionTabac@GordJohns@NDP@MarjoriePLC@GouvQc@MinVWS@WHO@DrTedros But eliquid names indicating bubble gum, candy or fruit were banned in 2018 with the TVPA! We adults have to remember what flavour is represented by a code name.
Why are these politicians so clueless about the realities of vaping and so trusting of taxpayer funded lobbyists?
@HeartandStroke@GordJohns@NDP@MarjoriePLC@MarkJCarney The harms are not real. They are imagined and feared, but they are not based on science or real lived experience. What is real is the number of adult vapers who are switching to a black market because of these calls for a flavour ban.
I used to trust HS -- I don't any more.
@CoalitionTabac@liberal_party As a doctor you should be concerned about the older Canadians who still smoke largely because of all the anti-vaping propaganda from these NGOs and TC. You should also know that adults like flavours as much as kids do and most don't want the taste of tobacco after quitting.
@X@Support
Between original posts and reposts, thousands of X users worldwide have asked nicely to have @Algor09algore reinstated because he is an invaluable tobacco harm reduction voice.
Not a single X user has supported the suspension. Please look into this ASAP @elonmusk!
WVD and WNTD fell one day apart. That timing makes the contrast hard to ignore. As I watched posts on social media over those two days, the contrast was even deeper than in years past.
Why do public health principles not include nicotine?

It's ridiculous that @x users who pay for their account like @Algore09algor still can't get access to a human review of the mistake that has been made with his account.
You owe him a refund for ever day he's suspended.
There still hasn't been a clear example of "breaking rules"
Thank you, @CDNMinHealth@MarjoriePLC. If a smoke-free Canada by 2035 is the goal, reverse the nicotine pouch restrictions and embrace safer nicotine/
The evidence is there. Do you and @MarkJCarney have the political will to stand up for Canadians?

Most people know the usual anti-vaping scare stories.
But here's the truth everybody needs to hear: Vaping has saved millions of lives—including mine.
A short🧵.
