The prospects of cancer, lung disease and heart disease are greatly diminished with the use of vaping. Why should people fear nicotine?

"By 2019, a steady stream of junk science and outright lies from supposed ‘public health’ groups had convinced two-thirds of Americans that e-cigarettes were as hazardous or more hazardous than traditional cigarettes."

[INNCOorg @INNCOorg]

Jacob Grier's The Rediscovery of Tobacco shows how the war on smoking has been built on junk science, class snobbery and plenty of cash. He doesn’t like cigarettes. He doesn’t smoke cigarettes. He advises people against smoking cigarettes. And yet...

@TahirTturk @ravin187 @Gingersnappdonu After 40 years you should know better. Unless of course you are renumerated not to. Money above better health outcomes... your messaging is corrupted. I don't believe you are paid to lie, but I do believe you are rewarded to avoid the truth.

@MauriceGSwanson has been informed of the challenge more than 72 hrs ago. He has not accepted the challenge nor retracted that erroneous claim.
It's time for YOU to print a correction to the story noting the error.

@GreedSpam @GBNEWS Your conclusion is a fact? Damn, silly me for assuming it was an opinion. Well, we know what that say about assume...

[Simon @simlan75]

@TahirTturk So nicotine vaping is knocking on the door of two decades - where are the huge numbers of new smokers? The gateway myth you promote is significantly more dangerous than vaping while tobacco products remain on shelves everywhere...

@TahirTturk @noname_noidea @stu_dowling @hbowly @YulDorotheo When you say "us" you imply inclusion applies to you. Not so sure you actually belong in the flock.
Nicotine vaping products are not tobacco products.
Current policy is absolutely ridiculous while tobacco products are available easily, and legally, everywhere.

[Simon @simlan75]

@AustralianTHR @peter_g_miller @DebbieScott16 @DrNicoleLee In fact @ausgov ($17b annual tobacco tax) feeds many lobbyist organisations to oppose any significantly less harmful alternative to lucrative tobacco sales. Find your favourite "charity" here: https://t.co/WxbupysXlF

@peter_g_miller @AustralianTHR @AlexWodak You are way too smart to wonder why. Unable to decide if that tweet was genuine or sarcastic.

@BlogThr @MauriceGSwanson @OZretailers @LegaliseVaping @ATHRA_AU @LucyPGray @deemadigan @janehansen2000 @meadea @ama_media @RACGPPresident @amapresident @tobaccofreeaust So Maurice proposed a bet, was taken up on it and then ghosted?
Did he get caught in a lie or just doesn't need the money? (Disclaimer, I've aggresively played 7/2o from early position too, it's not fun being raised knowing your stack is at risk if you continue...)

Alarming data in ASSAD Stats!😯
-7% of 12-17 yr olds reported being current smokers
& 23% said are likely>certain to smoke in the future.

Australian TC has been too busy failing to create a teen #vaping epidemic of 1.8% aged 14-17 while 100% harmful smoking gets a free ride?🤔

[Simon @simlan75]

@VapingAlliance Unheard of in traditional Tobacco CONtrol circles - actually talking to people who would be directly effected by potential regulation. Wise considering some regulations would drive many people back to smoking proven deadly combustible tobacco products.

[NZ Vaping Alliance @VapingAlliance]

Dishonesty by some researchers displayed in this new study done with #vapers.

@VaperNt @hbowly @ausgov @Coles @woolworths Nice pick up, and correct not all are bent. I'd gladly offer an apology to any academic who is conscious of avoiding any bias. Particularly any who throw caution to the wind with how any bent peers will react.

[Simon @simlan75]

#backfire when an author of the study you linked points out your statement was false and completely out of context. Money makes people say the darnedest things...

Another smoking cessation trial using #ecig where 9 out of 10 smokers failed to quit. https://t.co/SzdoQmAWRo

@OUWB Makes me wonder how many vehicle owners have not had their Takata airbag replaced after the recall. 100 million vehicles worldwide are fitted with faulty airbag. Common sense allows you to minimise risk with a vape device. Zero control with potentially lethal vehicle airbags.

'Cause you know, public health before tax revenue... a reference piece if we are unfortunate enough to have any of you lot involved in another senate enquiry into tobacco harm reduction.

[Charles A. Gardner, PhD @ChaunceyGardner]

UK 1/2
Another step in the right direction. The distinction public health should make is between combustion & non-combustion. Not nicotine vs. non-nicotine. Not tobacco vs. non-tobacco.

@TahirTturk @Gingersnappdonu Wow. Are you claiming to have no conflict of interest Tahir?
