@SecKennedy according to Jerry, all we have to do, is smoke more

@US_FDA Sounds like @Potus Trump was right, again

- prohibition didn't work, before...

and it's certainly not going to work, now

.@Grok estimates the combined smoking rate of Californians and migrants at 16-18%, not the reported 10%

Newsom cannot ignore this long before smoking's costs cripple the state, especially with tobacco tax revenue at only $1.4 billion total

@AsmDeMaioOffice Smoking costs, alone, will bankrupt the state

NACS Lobby spend has averaged $3m py, since 2018

[Stand With Vape @StandWithVape]

Is $50 million in revenue significant for a trade organization or NGO, in a $27 trillion economy?

Is $5 million a large annual salary for the president of such an organization?

@drdrew “To be fair”

Is that what the Obama administration said, when they passed the TCA, that indemnified cigarette manufacturers?

[Stand With Vape @StandWithVape]

If there's one thing that cannot be said, about tobacco corporations/manufacturers, it's that they don't take protecting their business interests, seriously

Tell me you prepped for the HHS Budget hearing by watching Altria’s Q1 earnings call…

…without telling me you prepped for the HHS Budget hearing by watching Altria’s Q1 earnings call.

Sen. Moody drops the exact “60% Chinese disposables” stat Altria cooked up.

Sec. Kennedy praises chip-enabled vapes (JUUL/NJOY — Big Tobacco-owned) and vows to “wipe [Chinese disposable vapes] out.”

All in a budget hearing — with zero mention that smoking still drains $300+ billion/year from U.S. taxpayers.

This wasn’t public health oversight.
This was a corporate handoff - with Baptists & Bootleggers fully united:

🚨 Moral panic to “protect the children”
💰 Tobacco giants using it to crush competition

Same script as Obama’s 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which handed the FDA to Big Tobacco.

Now MAHA’s the sequel - and RFK Jr.’s reading their lines.

-

And, really, I have YET to hear @SecKennedy or @RobertKennedyJr say squat about the chronic diseases and death, that smoking cigarettes, cause. Have you, @grok?

[Gregory Conley @GregTHR]

I spoke too soon.

President Trump pledged to save flavored vaping.

Today, his HHS Secretary correctly said Biden’s FDA “slow-walked” applications from responsible U.S. companies, though his definition of “responsible” is murky. (In reality, they denied millions outright *after* slow-walking them.)

He pledged to put an end to Chinese vapes with flavors that “target kids” like “watermelon”—flavors that millions of adults actually use to stay off cigarettes.

You can’t fix a broken system by recycling its worst talking points.

Altria Q1 Earnings Call 🧵

https://t.co/aVVl9uHfK6

[Stand With Vape @StandWithVape]

🚨 BREAKING: The FDA’s war on vaping has backfired—badly. 🚨

Altria just admitted in their Q4 earnings call that illicit disposable vapes now control 60% of the market—because the FDA refused to approve legal alternatives.

They underestimated the black market.

🧵 A thread on how the FDA protected cigarettes & destroyed legal vaping. 👇

@dnmarlin @GrimmGreen 💯 🙌

[Stand With Vape @StandWithVape]

If the FDA truly prioritized lung health, they'd consider vaping as a potential harm reduction tool for smokers.

Research shows vaping is far less harmful than smoking, yet the FDA's stance remains “cautious”

- intentional “air quotes”

It's standard fare, for agency (and NGO) bureaucrats acknowledge benefits. It's also standard fare, for agency (and NGO) bureaucrats, to push and enact policy regulations, that hamper progress, to the point of destroying industry innovations - that improve public health

FDA is a PHINO pharma trade association

[Cliff Douglas @cdoug]

Important recognition here from two former directors of @FDATobacco - @ScottGottliebMD and Brian King (now at @TobaccoFreeKids) that harm reduction works for tobacco. @DrMakaryFDA has an extraordinary opportunity now to make smoking history.

[Stand With Vape @StandWithVape]

@cdoug @FDATobacco @ScottGottliebMD @TobaccoFreeKids @DrMakaryFDA FDA is the perfect example of how taxpayer funded health orgs bridge the gaps, to improve health, in America - setting the tone; globally

[Stand With Vape @StandWithVape]

@LauraLoomer @RobertKennedyJr @CaseyMeansMD Smoking is the number one cause of preventable death & disease - and this is all either one of them have posted?

[Stand With Vape @StandWithVape]

@SecKennedy "bundle of perverse incentives"

Explains why Obama created the Tobacco Control Act, that protects cigarettes, just as it explains why Trump banned flavored vape pods & vape mail.

from the FDA SE approval of Marlboro Blend 27 100's:

"The applicant provided the smoke yields of tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide (TNCO), carbonyls (i.e., formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, and crotonaldehyde), volatile organics (i.e., acrylonitrile, isoprene, benzene, 1,3-butadiene and toluene), ammonia, benzo[a]pyrene, N-nitrosonornicotine (NNN), and 4-[methyl(nitroso)amino]-1-(3-pyridinyl)-1-butanone (NNK) for the new and corresponding predicate products for SE0016868. PD1, SE0016964. PD1, SE0016996.PD1 - SE0016999.PD1, and SE0017241.PD1 under ISO and Cl smoking regimens.

They also provided appropriate method validation information. TOST& analyses of HPHC data indicates that the HPHC data are statistically equivalent or non-equivalent but lower.

Therefore, the differences in characteristics between the new and corresponding predicate products do not cause the new products to raise different questions of public health from a chemistry perspective."

New York AG Letitia James—keeping kids ‘safe’ by making sure Big Tobacco & Pharma get paid

🚬👑💄 The next Marlboro Smokesmodel?

In the eyes of Big Tobacco, Pharma execs, and the NY State Comptroller, she’s the most beautiful woman in the world—because she’s keeping the MSA money flowing and competition crushed 💸🚬🎭💰

@SecKennedy “Off course”

Hmmm…for a country, that perpetuates deadly harms, like FDA approving more:new cigarettes, simply bc they’re supposedly not more deadly
