Cigarette smoking among adults fell to a record low in 2024, which suggests that adult smokers are switching to e-cigarettes without a significant increase in new nicotine users—a public health victory. reason.org/commentary/the…
Over 1 billion smokers are at risk but what if the cure already exists? In his new book, @DrMtyndall reveals how vaping could save millions and why public health leaders are standing in the way. Watch the interview with the author, hosted by Harry Shapiro, available on GFNTV!

Heart-felt and personal article @papaioannoy Stigma should never be used in public health campaigns - even with cigarettes. #vapingsaveslives
Thank you to everyone at @Filtermag_org for giving me the space to share this story. Its one of many. filtermag.org/father-quit-ci…
I just finished watching @Biebert's "A Billion Lives" for the 2nd time. I'm struck by the lack of change since 2016 in Public Health's, govts', NGO's stance on vaping. They've dug their heels in deeper while 100's of 1000's of people continue to die from smoking. Shameful.
Ironic that they call themselves “change makers” when in fact they are blocking the very change that is urgently needed - ending combustible tobacco. There efforts are not only misguided but deadly for 1.3 billion people who smoke. #vapingsaveslives #WCTC2025
Scale of the Bloomberg anti-vaping operation. 146 "tobacco control grantees" assembled in Dublin #WCTC2025. Only part of the global influencing complex funded to promote the prohibitionist ideas of one overconfident, unaccountable billionaire @MikeBloomberg #notcivilsociety
Death by risk factors. Smoking is 3rd. Vaping nowhere to be seen. Not surprising as it doesn't cause death. Think about that when you see yet another hit piece on vaping. 22 years in and no loss of life. How long do we wait for significant harms to arrive. 25, 30, 40 years?

"For harm reduction pioneer @DrMtyndall, safer nicotine products are safe supply for people who smoke." "It’s such a brilliant way to do it," he tells @aftariak, "and it’s so frustrating that a lot of people don’t see it that way." filtermag.org/mark-tyndall-t…
