I think I'm going to just start retweeting Public Health lies. PH is morally bankrupt, ideologically captured. Mostly just BS artists. If I can keep my nausea in check, I'll make it a mega-thread. Exhibit #1:

If you think vaping will help you quit smoking, think again. People who use e-cigarettes to quit are 28% less successful than those who don’t. spr.ly/6012J7Nsy

The percentage of adults who incorrectly believe that #vaping is as harmful as 🚬 has year-on-year increased in several countries to very high levels and it seems NZ has been similarly infected. 😢Research shows that the misinformation puts adults off switching from smoking to…

"[Vaping] a huge threat to the anti-smoking activists" The impact on public health based on their manufactured moral panic (& greed) will never be forgotten. Thank you, @JohnStossel For you: @HealthZA @HealthSocClust @ParliamentofRSA @SAQuitline @MRCza @CANSA @satfyf2030


X is just simply letting the truth get its pants on faster.


The law didn't ban "flashy" packaging, you deceitful twits. It banned factual terms and words used to actually describe flavors. It banned the word "apple" for an apple flavored vape. Pure Orwellian overreach.

Oregon ban on ‘flashy’ e-cigarette packaging targeting minors is unconstitutional, court rules oregonlive.com/pacific-northw…

Remember how C Everett Koop steered the conversation, away from the harms of smoking/tobacco, and onto nicotine? "one morning I'm working with the farm industry to literally steer money to the Dean of Stanford Med School, who's a pain specialist to be put on an NIH panel to say…

🚬 Koop's '88 report on "nicotine addiction": political dodge under Reagan's pro-tobacco sway? Focusing on nicotine, shielded Big Tobacco from scrutiny over harmful additives like ammonia that create and boost addiction. Honest Science indicates nicotine alone is not addictive.

The difference between people who believe "the news" and people who dwell in reality has never been more obvious than now.

In the past over a twelve day period I’d have smoked a total of 300 cigarettes. In the past twelve days I have had 11 cigarettes. In the past six days I have had 0 cigarettes. After smoking for 38 years I never thought I could do this. But I’m doing it, thanks to vaping.

I don't understand how this right here doesn't stop the nicotine debate dead in it's tracks.

“While not supported by most tobacco control organizations and agencies, the advent of electronic cigarettes will -- if trends are allowed to continue -- one day be looked at as the end game strategy that made smoking history.” tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.com/2024/08/new-da…
