Correcting misinformation about nicotine starts with telling the truth about nicotine.

These are the places to start:
@KnowNicotine @SaferWiki

[Kyle Stoflet @KyleStoflet]

@PassionPlanet1 Switch to nicotine pouches. Don't smoke.

Also, watch @KnowNicotine documentary

[You Don't Know Nicotine @KnowNicotine]

@PassionPlanet1 Yes, you might know some of the people in it. 😉

[VapingIT, SPE, EEI @Vapingit]

I don't think enough of you saw this.

[You Don't Know Nicotine @KnowNicotine]

@Vapingit Sadly, yes. It's one big lie.

[You Don't Know Nicotine @KnowNicotine]

"Gullible Cheerleaders" pretty much sums up what happened to safer nicotine products & why so many ignore/fight/ban them. It's why many think we're crazy for making this movie. It's why most of us don't know nicotine.

So much money involved. So many "experts" funded. So many gullible cheerleaders repeating the lies & misinformation that keep people smoking cigarettes & missing out on natural mental health treatments.

The result? People are still using outdated, profitable, harmful products to get nicotine. Massive taxes are still collected. Users of safe products are shamed.

The status quo is maintained. For profit. For pride. So gullible cheerleaders don't have to feel gullible.

Mo Gawdat (Former Google exec) explains "Gullible Cheerleaders" in this podcast. We can see the same with many wars, ethnic cleansing, & other harmful social movements.

But the "Gullible Cheerleaders" get offended if you tell them they're wrong. It means they were gullible. Nobody wants to be "gullible."

So we have the issues we have today. Instead of getting the facts first before talking, people simply choose to defend themselves and point to the person they follow on the internet who said the same thing.

Solutions are ignored. We march like lemmings.

Sadly, many will die like lemmings...off the cliff we go.

The way we see it:

1⃣ There are clear facts about nicotine.
2⃣ The facts matter. People are suffering needlessly or dying early because of misinformation.
3⃣ People are suppressing the facts.

We did our best to find out both the facts & why they are suppressed. We landed on Pride, Money, & Misinformation (people suppress facts because they are misguided, but trying to help). The film includes FOA information, interviews with primary sources (various sides), & condensation of things we can all see with our own eyes. We helped you see it.

If that's a conspiracy film, then nothing is true anymore.

"The @KnowNicotine documentary frames opposition to nicotine as a conspiracy to suppress the truth, with clips circulating across social media encouraging users to reconsider their stance."

@jkelovuori @imaracingmom @KnowNicotine @Info_Rosalie Also sadly, it's an example of most political discourse today.

The template: state the other side's most extreme & evidence-free claims. Use cherry-picked "experts" on one's own side, whose claims are often just as extreme & evidence-free, to refute them.

If folks find @NicholasFlorko's latest for the @TheAtlantic of interest (gift link in thread below), I hope that they will tap in to that curiosity and pick up the gauntlet tossed by @KnowNicotine (now available on @AppleTV & @PrimeVideo!).

@mobtekmuzak What part resonated the most for you?

@JasonHornbuckle @GhostofPrickles @JunkScience It's not bad to share expert analysis. Normal people probably should be relying more on evidence, not just feelings.

[You Don't Know Nicotine @KnowNicotine]

@JasonHornbuckle @JunkScience You will love our movie. Full of information. We even went to a farm so people could see it all in action. Then a lab, then to NYU, then to Vanderbilt.

Full of information you can use to educate people.

[You Don't Know Nicotine @KnowNicotine]

@GhostofPrickles @JasonHornbuckle @JunkScience Thanks for sharing!!

[You Don't Know Nicotine @KnowNicotine]

We know there can be a lot of confusion & tension about nicotine. This is why we made the film.

Smoking is not the answer (discussed in our film), but clean nicotine (no smoke) might be the perfect answer for some to avoid devastating brain diseases. How can that be discussed if everyone instantly dismisses & shames users? Our film serves as a starting point.

Check this out:

"The link between smoking [not healthy] and a lower risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the strongest environmental or lifestyle associations in neuroepidemiology."

@Isaac_Perkins11 @LivePippas Love is the right starting point. Understanding helps us all show that love in a loving way.

Misinformation isn't love. Hopefully our film helps with that balance.

[You Don't Know Nicotine @KnowNicotine]

@CultureFixer @Biebert @LivePippas Why would people crave poison?

It's not helpful for you to say stuff like this. It's actually quite harmful and leads to more death from smoking and a lack of treatment.

Please watch our film. We have real scientists from leading universities helping to explain this.

[You Don't Know Nicotine @KnowNicotine]

@CultureFixer @LivePippas There are nicotinic recepters in the brain. It's not like other natural stimulants.

[You Don't Know Nicotine @KnowNicotine]

@JimiJakeShaw Cool to see people engaging helpfully with each other.

[You Don't Know Nicotine @KnowNicotine]

There's a LOT more to the nicotine discussion besides just quitting smoking. It's mainly about improving brain health...

It's great to see communities coming together to find answers to big problems like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, & other neurological diseases.

One 20,000 member Parkinson's community is discussing You Don't Know Nicotine right now!

https://t.co/VU9m4d3ysJ

There's a lot of evidence showing people who smoke cigarettes get Parkinson's less (Google it). Smoking is bad for health, but what if people used clean nicotine instead? There's a lot to discover yet, but honest/open discussion is the starting point.
