Regarding the latest denial from ⁦FDA Tobacco⁩, I am not familiar with the particular application, but am struck by the agency's statement of justification that, 'According to the 2023 National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) (fda.gov/tobacco-produc…), disposable e-cigarettes were…

I honestly love the fact that NPR is run by the final boss of Affluent Female White Liberals.

You couldn’t write it better in a screenplay. Just fantastic.

This bill would close hundreds of vape shops, cost hundreds of jobs and deny thousands of adults access to safer alternatives to smoking!

Another World Health Organization (WHO) regional group message called out for lying. One must start to wonder if they ever tweet anything truthful.

Califf said several times that 'tobacco harm reduction' (THR) is an industry term. Chairman Comer correctly pointed out why that assertion is false.

Yesterday, Dr. Robert M. Califf repeated almost every anti-vaping trope there is while testifying before the Oversight Committee committee. James Comer and several of his colleagues asked tough questions, giving us a chance to scrutinize Califf's underwhelming answers. THREAD 🧵

I don't know if people still take ecstasy, but it may be required to derive maximum enjoyment from my new hit song.

How many of those vape shop owners has NPR interviewed in the last five years? None. How many of those ordinary Americans who rely on vaping products to quit smoking, nearly 10 million in all, has NPR interviewed? Not a single one.
