What I really do when I walk the dog😬
Disposable vapes are single-use electronics & hazardous waste per @EPA. Up to ~10M are sold monthly from US convenience stores, & these companies face basically 0 accountability. https://t.co/eeJTpcPMi7 #WorldNoTobaccoDay @WHO @FCTCofficial

What happens before a vape is in your hand, & what happens after? Our Vapes Are Trash campaign + World No Tobacco Day are focused on environmental impacts of the tobacco industry, which profits from the exploitation of people & planet. https://t.co/vlvwqCg5nS @who @FCTCofficial

[Christina Curell @stina_si]

Smoking AND vaping. Commercial tobacco farming contributes to deforestation and also relies on exploitative labor practices, including child labor. Don't support tobacco companies. Don't smoke and don't vape. https://t.co/eeJTpcPMi7 @WHO @ParentsvsVape #notobacco

@rphallisey845 @michelleminton @Vapingit Probably bc it's taking an average since 1975, a period in which there were significant increases?

@michelleminton @Vapingit ? Nobody looking honestly at the decades-long decline in US youth tobacco use sees the huge jump in vaping as saving high schoolers from cigs. That's a tobacco industry narrative. New kids started bc of heavily marketed, attractive, highly addictive and accessible new products.

Thank you Peace Corps for letting me know it's World Mosquito Day--and also for that dengue fever in 2012 😂

[Peace Corps @PeaceCorps]

Today is #WorldMosquitoDay. 🦟 According to @WHO, mosquitoes are responsible for more than 1 millions deaths annually. There are simple and effective ways to prevent mosquito-borne illnesses. Name some below! 👇

@lmstroud89 @NASSP @ParentsvsVape This is ridiculous. You're showing a table that doesn't have youth e-cig data until 2015, at which point e-cig numbers are much higher than cigs--which were on a steady downward trend for other reasons. Who pays you for these excellent public health insights?

[ParentsAgainstVaping @ParentsvsVape]

It’s back-to-school season, and many of our kids will have easier access than ever to flavored e-cigs. PAVe is leading the charge to hold @FDATobacco accountable.
Sign your name now to tell FDA: NO flavored e-cigs. NO menthol JUUL. https://t.co/RCRVGB2WSM

@ChaunceyGardner @Newsweek @TobaccoFreeKids @ParentsvsVape @MikeBloomberg good old "family physician" Michael Madden, who was literally paid by Reynolds American to write this bs. 🙄

This is a nightmare. #Tiktok videos involving #vapes had 1.5 billion views, and 63% were portrayed positively (23% neutral and 13% neg).

New evidence on vaping and low birth weight. The perception that e-cigs are less harmful may contribute to their appeal to pregnant people--but findings show that vaping is not a safe alternative to smoking while pregnant. @ParentsvsVape https://t.co/qQV3SNAvEl

Thank you @ChrisCuomo & @CuomoPrimeTime for sharing our message! "Today there are almost 4 million kids vaping... At the same time, @FDATobacco is considering authorizing flavored e-cigarette products." Vid: https://t.co/TiktmC9cUd Send your letter to FDA: https://t.co/iY0hE0CEUP

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The fact that Kevin McCarthy, the House @GOPLeader, stripped Justin Amash of all committee seats for criticizing Trump, but has worked to protect this person from consequences (including pretending he doesn’t see it) tells you this is happening with the support of GOP leadership.
