Came for the dogs, stayed for the discussions on tobacco and nicotine science

"The loss of my loved ones ... only strengthened my resolve."

Advocate @Kurt_Yeo tells @KiranSidhu41 about the harm reduction mismatch in South Africa, why smoking cessation has become a "luxury" there, and why he sees pouches as a big potental solution:

Disposable vapes wouldn’t be nearly as popular had the US not banned flavors in prefilled pod systems. The regulatory environment created this massive black/gray market and only proves the point that when you ban a popular product, something else quickly fills the void.

Proud to know this kickass woman.

The world continues to grapple with the negative aspects of social. We can get to a place where we amplify the good and mitigate the bad and my work post FB has been around how do we get there. @JeffHorwitz wrote a story about my journey. https://t.co/5hl8U6nVMd

@jgitchell @YouTube I did, too. That said, v good episode

[Valerie Solomon @vbsolomon]

@jgitchell @jadler1969 @KathiHoke @stacyehrlich @MicahLBerman @cdoug Commented on the wrong thread 😂

[Valerie Solomon @vbsolomon]

@jadler1969 @reason @VolokhC 🔥 as usual from @jadler1969 I was stunned by the CA6 assertion of “scientific consensus”

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Jen Psaki tells @edokeefe that she is "not aware" of any White House proposals to tax vapes or e-cigarettes, but President Biden "supports the independent review and process of the FDA" on the matter

[Valerie Solomon @vbsolomon]

@patriciakova That’s the FDA decision summary, not our PMTA

[Cliff Douglas @cdoug]

@MichaelJStern1 @DrLeanaWen @nytimes It appears you aren't up on the science. The @nytimes story, which quotes me, says more than you note about the public health benefit. There is no popcorn lung. #Ecigs can help addicted adult smokers. Strict control, not bans, is called for. I'm also a lawyer. Follow the evidence

[StefanDidak @StefanDidak]

It matters less that the Vuse Solo isn't the most popular product in RAI's vapor lineup. What matters more is that RAI now has the expertise and understanding of what goes into an acceptable PMTA. That, in itself, is quite an edge to have in the regulatory and business scope.

How Can We Integrate Nicotine Into Harm Reduction Programs?

[The Global Tobacco and Nicotine Forum (GTNF) @thegtnf]

ICYMI: @BATplc's CMO Kingsley Wheaton expresses concern about what #COP9 might have in store for the industry: 'It would be hard to imagine anything more damaging to global tobacco harm reduction efforts than further exclusion of these alternative products.'

[Alex Norcia @Alex_Norcia]

Hey, THR land: I'll be writing my own newsletter on Fridays, collecting my reporting in one place and publishing some fresh stories and commentary. It's free for now, and I hope it'll be a good resource as the vape industry changes. Will be live on 10/1. https://t.co/3XVdEh8Ytg

Its easier to put a new cigarette on the market in the US than a reduced risk product, Elaine Round tells #GTNF2021 #ThursdayThoughts

[The Global Tobacco and Nicotine Forum (GTNF) @thegtnf]

Laura Leigh Oyler tells #GTNF2021 that those who want tobacco companies to simply close down are ignoring the realities of business. Also producing reduced products and bringing them to market is expensive, times consuming and beyond the means of most small companies.

[Brooke Masters @brookeamasters]

Tobacco companies have a horrible history, but we should cheer rather than shun @InsidePMI's efforts to move away from cigarettes. https://t.co/OxaepmI5K2

i know there are a lot of problems in the world but without a doubt the first one we should address is how culinary websites bury the recipe i’m looking for under a 17 page dissertation on the history of food
