“All that was misunderstood is explained beyond doubt”. Let your heart be changed, your mind refilled, & let’s finish the job of helping improve #ABillionLives. It all begins here 👇 watchibex.com/programs/ydkn Watch our film + You Don't Know Nicotine during the 10-day trial.

Ask Vital Strategies why their bosses at Bloomberg Philanthropies spend tens of millions every year to *prevent* access to harm reduction for a billion people who smoke.

Today marks 1 year since I posted my personal statement on the need to find balance and promote greater scientific accuracy and public understanding, and more effective policy responses, relating to tobacco use and harm reduction. The challenges persist but I remain optimistic.👇

J P The only movies I've seen more times than Star Wars are A Billion Lives and You Don't Know Nicotine.

Yes, it'd be great if cigarettes weren't invented...but they were. Nicotine vapor is an incredibly safe alternative compared to cigarette smoking & no teens have ever died from it. The falsehoods surrounding nicotine vapor are dangerous & perpetuate smoking.

“Addict” is a shame word. #Shame doesn’t heal or help anyone. Leading thinkers in the field of nicotine use now understand that #nicotine outside of smoke is more of a dependence, not “addiction”. Little (if any) harm. Watch You Don't Know Nicotine to learn about the “why”.

This is the 4th of 4 eps in The SPOTLIGHT Series CANADA. All 4 are worth another watch. I view them often, when I need inspiration or a reminder why we don't give up. Grateful to VIDA Voices Aaron Biebert 🙏🙏🙏 youtu.be/aDB1_2nvuVk

After You Don't Know Nicotine revealed those stories, maybe it’s time for the courts to decide if racketeering can apply to billion dollar “non-profits” who dishonestly/fraudulently maintain the deadly status quo to increase fundraising & salaries. Thoughts?

From this analysis: "There is no credible biological mechanism for a few years of vaping being more dangerous than a lifetime of smoking." One wouldn't know that from the study that it critiques. As a public health advocate, I'm deeply concerned about the spread of junk science.

This, is what it's all about.

Is the anxiety over teen vaping overblown - and has it obscured e-cigs potential as a live-saving tool for smokers? (Spoiler: Yes.) My piece for Globe Magazine: bostonglobe.com/2022/08/10/mag…

This feels like what some countries are doing with cigarettes. Taxes down? Ban the safer (but less profitable) alternatives. “Young People Don’t Drink as Much as They Used To. Japan’s Tax Agency Is Worried.” - VICE vice.com/en/article/3ad…
