Urge Congress to reject a tax on safer nicotine products like vaping, snus, and smokeless tobacco that would be the same as the tax on cigarettes, the most harmful tobacco product. https://t.co/sfuJUMeLum
‘Kids’ are manipulated and weaponised in anti-vaping campaigns… they always seem to look something like this 👇
These are standard issue clean cut campaign-ready kids, designed to worry middle class parents and get the attention of politicians.
Every person who smokes deserves the same opportunity I was given approximately 11 years ago: To make an informed decision about switching from combustible tobacco products to #SaferNicotine alternatives like #vaping. #WVD21

Let's be #louder than ever and put a spotlight on #tobaccoharmreduction and helping fight for smoker's lives.
Revenue for government in Australia from taxing cigarettes is its 4th highest source of income! Over $16 billion/year! Think that doesn’t influence government policy? @ColinMendelsohn @LivePippas@hbowly@drjoesDIYhealth@MarewaGlover

USA E-Cig Summit:
Neal Benowitz, of UCSF Center for Tobacco Control Research, Tom Glynn, and 13 other top tobacco control leaders will soon publish a review. Their review will be a serious blow to #HarmReduction deniers.
The real world seems to disagree with @WHO@FCTCofficial
Comment: "A significant proportion of the US tobacco control field continues to be guided by a precept that there is 'no safe tobacco.'"
"...Ignoring potential benefits of harm reduction may lead to an erosion of trust in tobacco control."

A new study suggests that legislation arising from 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐈 and e-cigarettes actually caused an 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. https://t.co/ztQobVQAic

The bigger question is who will accept responsibility. Who is resigning? Will @TobaccoFreeKids@BloombergDotOrg and Mr “bring data” @MikeBloomberg accept that piling $160m into banning e-liquid flavours has likely increased smoking and caused harm? Or are results not of interest?
“she estimated that the odds of high school students smoking in San Francisco more than doubled following the ban.”
Knew it would be bad but not this bad...

If anyone tells you there's not enough evidence that nicotine vapes ("e-cigarettes") are safer than traditional cigarettes, show them this. 10,000 studies. 15 years of safe use. Millions fewer smokers... And I think I see a growing consensus among experts.
