Highly recommended: A new analysis to be published by @foodanddruglaw argues that traditional tobacco control organizations have "captured" @FDATobacco's regulatory process and recommends corrections to get tobacco and nicotine regulation on track. https://t.co/5Ethh0PkbA

@Sharon_ACox @MailOnline Nonsense. Your logic does not compute.

[University of Michigan Tobacco Research Network @UMTobResNetwork]

We disagree with the head-in-the-sand approach advocated by @LungAssociation, which ignores the science & the urgent need to educate adults who smoke, half of whom will die prematurely of lung and other fatal illnesses if not not fully informed about issues such as relative risk.

[Jonathan Foulds PhD @JonathanFoulds]

@FDATobacco Strategic plan includes "to inform adults who smoke about the relative risks of tobacco products" (at goal 4). @LungAssociation comments: "The Lung Association strongly recommends this language be removed." Wow! https://t.co/cP0nUqOqh7

A new study published this month in The Lancet’s eClinical Medicine – the largest electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) clinical trial in the U.S. to date – confirms the role of e-cigarettes in smoking cessation.

What's wrong with this picture? Experts report Juul is far safer than conventional cigarettes and can help adults quit smoking. This is NOT a product endorsement. This is about what helps public health in 2023. Destroying Juul won't help. It might hurt. https://t.co/AEKTNc4oTq

[FDA Tobacco @FDATobacco]

Approximately 20% of cancer cases and 30% of cancer-related fatalities are attributed to smoking. @HHS_Health released a draft tobacco cessation framework to strengthen smoking cessation efforts.

Released today, the #DoctorsSurvey of more than 15,000 physicians in 11 countries finds that a significant majority of doctors mistakenly attributes the negative health consequences of smoking to nicotine, potentially thwarting efforts to help smokers quit https://t.co/XH0yho5mhU

July's editor's choice: Indonesian national tobacco policy is characterised by policy incoherence, underpinned by both a lack of political will among key ministries and a lack of impetus to collaborate in creating and implementing regulations. https://t.co/G6UE0P9VAq @liskramer

[University of Michigan Tobacco Research Network @UMTobResNetwork]

From Dr. David Méndez of @umichsph:
“The problem is that as a society, we tend to say, ‘We need to save the kids’ without having a balance.” If ... smokers switch to a lower-risk product like #ecigs, “you’re saving their life now." https://t.co/Dsd7vkX7Vg @CenterTobacco @cdoug
