We're not bots.
yknow I’ve seen a lot of bots on here but the pro-vaping bot is a new one

While his past achievements have been rightly praised and recognised in these matters concerning vaping and tobacco policy today he’s really looking at it through the lens of yesteryear. Well. It is 2025 and we have a vaping and tobacco regime that is dysfunctional to say the…
This is peak anti-vaping madness. 100k for a position dedicated to spreading misinformation about the world's most effective smoking cessation tool and tobacco substitute. What else could @UniMelb spend this money on? Teaching? Mental health services? seek.com.au/vaping-jobs/in…
Canadian Public Health Association is having a conference. Their goal is a nicotine free Canada. 🤦♀️they are promoting an abstinence only model 😱no one with ties to Vaping is allowed to attend. I called the Director. I will share more about that elevated 1 minute…
"Within 3 months [our community drug research] advisory group lost 3 out of 8 members to smoking-related diseases." Yet as vaping is vilified, "a change would be admission of failure & public health institutions fear this above all else." By @DrMtyndall: filtermag.org/need-vapes-why…
@FDAtobacco finally approved JUUL—after years of uncertainty. Now it must stop deputizing @CBP to unlawfully seize other U.S. vaping products. Independent vape shops and millions of adult consumers are still in limbo. This fight isn’t over.

We’ve entered the panhandling phase of empire.
BREAKING: Venmo & PayPal users can now send money to the US government to help pay down the national debt.
A memo must have gone out to paid #HarmReduction deniers (paid by @TobaccoFreeKids or @truthinitiative)... advising them to turn off replies. The number of people and bots now *pushing* harm reduction denialist disinformation who block replies is now "epidemic." @drkellyhenning
“The average age of our national leadership looks like the cast of a Metamucil commercial. These are the people who partied at Woodstock but banned menthols and vape pens. They dropped acid, but God forbid you use nicotine to quit smoking.”
Thank you Prof. Polosa for sharing your wealth of knowledge on the subject. It's hard to believe that in the year 2025, decision makers in public health still default to their idealogical positions even when they are confronted with robust scientific evidence.
Prof. Riccardo Polosa, #CoEHAR Founder, was invited to speak at the Public Hearings of the Portfolio Committee on Health of the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa. (Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Control Bill) @RiccardoPolosa youtube.com/watch?v=FKIeon…
"The 2025 Canadian Conference on Tobacco and Nicotine (CCTN25), is being pitched as a space for “dialogue” and “collaboration.” But this is no public health conference." @papaioannoy has some words for the @CPHA_ACSP rights4vapers.com/open-letter-to…
It’s OK @drleanawen you don’t need to speculate about the “complicated” question of whether ZYN has a public health benefit. The U.S. FDA already answered the question when they authorized the products back in January. They’re appropriate for the protection of public health.
ZYN is the only nicotine pouch authorized by FDA as a better choice than continued smoking. In doing so, the agency findings include evidence that a substantial proportion of legal-age adults who use traditional tobacco products, like cigarettes, completely switched to ZYN. It’s…
These groups do not deserve your money. They are not scientific, not focussed on their mission (lung disease), and mainly focussed on fund raising.
You should wave goodbye with your wallet to the American @LungAssociation because its specious claims contribute to the untimely deaths of the smokers it feigns to help tinyurl.com/2p9tvywu
Yes @grok, levels can spike if tested under extreme conditions in a lab with a machine doing the puffing. However, that is irrelevant to human use is because people avoid the aversive taste created by such unrealistic settings. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… pubpeer.com/publications/E…

Brilliant article by Fiona Patten ! “When it comes to reducing the harms from smoking, Australia finds itself cast as the global village idiot – clinging to policies that perpetuate harm, empower criminals, and squander opportunities to save lives.” archive.is/2025.07.23-192…
A minute of one of my shrimp tanks, bubbly sounds included!😃
From a watch to a warning so down came the planters. I'm sitting out till the rain chases me inside!
