Watched the show today like I do often. Good show.
But a lot of this information is old news as well. Nearly 10 millions ppl have quit cigarettes with Ecigs. And a large Number of organizations has been doing tons of great research. Nearly 100 million 🌎 have quit.
So now we have 100 million adults all using ecigs to stay off of cigarettes. Starting out at their higher levels allowing the Ecigs to actually replace that cigarette without feeling deprived.
Like me smoked for 22yrs started out around 36mg, but now I am around 0mg to 3mg
Ecigs allow users to drop down the Nicotine level gradually as you use. And Nicotine it's self doesn't contain any carcinogens. Remove the Tar and thousands of chemicals all burning smoke. So Ecigs are much safer. Now for adults the flavors are a factor that helps them Adult's

1/15: My new paper in Harm Reduction Journal simulates what the US situation might look like if we promote e-cigarettes as a harm reduction policy: rdcu.be/cg94K . Hint: #VapingSavesLives
2/15: In system dynamics modeling, it’s important to focus on a specific, measurable problem to solve. Here, it’s the combustible tobacco-related death burden (~480,000 lives/year).
3/15: We also need a specific goal for the tobacco-related death rate. Since it's unreasonable to expect zero tobacco use, I've set the goal to that of accidental deaths (1% of the population) – below that attributed to poor diet/physical inactivity or alcohol.

Thread: I am seeing a disturbing trend on the college campus I work on: young people smoking cigarettes. Now, the realist in me says that these young people are experimenting, especially since they are so far removed from parent’s oversight. But why with cigarettes? We have so
Much evidence that cigarettes are harmful to your health. The students I see smoking surely aren’t of age to smoke, especially as college freshmen, with the age being 21. I know older students aren’t straw purchasing them for the younger students, as I witnessed a group of
Freshmen boys go into a c-store and come out with a pack or Marlboro reds; the oldest boy couldn’t have been over 19, which is 2 years below the legal age for tobacco usage in NYS, and nationwide. It’s obvious they were able to get a fake ID good enough to fool the poor clerk

The #VapeResistance never sleeps!
Whoever you are, whatever you say, you will not get away with it unchallenged.
#Vape #Vaping #VapingSavesLives #eCig
The #ANTZ of #TobaccoControl fight for their ideology.
We fight for our lives & those of ppl who #smoke.
We. Will. Win.
It's just a matter of when, and how many lives will be ruined before then.
A message for the #ANTZ of #TobaccoControl who would have our lives conform to their ideals (e.g. a #nicotine-free world).

1/8 And a few more points for @GovWhitmer, a thread...

Teen use of vaping products, as reported by @US_FDA was overwhelmingly because of "curiosity" rather than flavors as you keep trying to claim, which is data from the 2019 NYTS fda.gov/tobacco-produc… with most using Juul
2/8 This leads directly into point number two, from looking at FDA sales/inspection data, it is, again overwhelmingly not vape shops that are selling to teens, this data can be seen here yes-i-vape.com/post/fda-compl… out of all sales to underage in MI only 13 (2.22% were at vape shops)

THREAD:
Had a new customer come in Tuesday. She was legitimately scared of vaping because of what she was hearing from the news, but her mother is sick (smoking-related), she's tried other methods to quit, nothing worked...but she needed to do something....
(1/8)
She tried going to another shop for help, but "the ditsy chick behind the counter knew nothing..." (her words). She decided to give it once last shot and just happened to walk in to our shop.
(2/8)
All in all, I spent close to 90 minutes with this wonderful woman. I stood there and explained EVERYTHING to her: the ingredients of nic e-liquid vs. what she's hearing about in the news, how devices work, the difference between salt nic & freebase...literally everything.

TREAD: The contents of this thread is the latest smoking statistics written and published by the @CDCgov all statistics are based on US citizens.

Read all of this and then answer one question "why are they banning vaping and not smoking?"

Thread ...
@CDCgov Smoking leads to disease and disability and harms nearly every organ of the body.

More than 16 million Americans are living with a disease caused by smoking.

For every person who dies because of smoking, at least 30 people live with a serious smoking-related illness.
@CDCgov Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

@OregonGovBrown logic: ppl are getting sick from vaping #THC oil (black market, mostly). So we're going to ban nicotine vape & send nicotine & THC vapers to the black mkt - which is what's been killing people ... Are they trying to kill off all smokers? #VapeBan #vaping
ALL cases where they've found a cause have been THC oil ... and the symptoms of vaping oil (esp. Vitamin E oil) are identical to the symptoms being reported #vaping #VapeBan #vapingsaveslives @OregonGovBrown
Nicotine e-cigs have been around for about a decade.  These illnesses just started this summer.  Ergo, it's something new, not the e-cigs people have been using all this time #VapeBan #vaping #vapingsaveslives

Dear @realDonaldTrump , @POTUS @FLOTUS @WhiteHouse @SecAzar
Looks like I am not the only one that no longer wants to vote for #Trump in 2020 if he goes through with the #EjuiceBan.
washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/bannin…
@realDonaldTrump @POTUS @FLOTUS @WhiteHouse @SecAzar Also- It's important to note that the deaths and most likely ALL of the illness related to #vaping were from blackmarket #THC juice, not commercially sold juice. I have smokers bronchitis (still) if anyone were to get sick from this stuff, it would be me. Not a young person.
@realDonaldTrump @POTUS @FLOTUS @WhiteHouse @SecAzar Here is a screen shot from one of the most popular #ejuice sellers online. It is the flavor profiles offered. Do you see #Tobacco flavor?
Nope, it is in there under #menthol flavors but only 6% of #vapers in a survey liked Tobacco flavor compared to #dessert and fruit flavors.
