Dr Tejas V Patel American Heart Association Association studies show switching from cigarettes to vaping lowers your risk of heart attack 30% to 40%, to the level of a non-smoker. ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.116… Heart health biomarkers in vapers are indistinguishable from non-users. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… Stroke

IoL Events Here is some evidence: 1) Cancer risk plummets when smokers switch to e-cigarettes Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk (ELCR) drops >10,000-fold. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… A more conservative estimate found lifetime cancer risk drops 99.5% (0.5% risk would be difficult to measure;

ACCURATE: Vaping increased AND smoking dropped PLAUSIBLE: Smoking dropped BECAUSE vaping increased DISHONEST: Smoking dropped, BUT vaping increased Adults: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…; cdc.gov/nchs/data/seri… Teens: cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/m…; cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7… THREAD 1/3 👇

Suspicious Changes! In the USA since 2007: - adult vaping skyrocketed - adult smoking plummeted - teen nicotine use plummeted - lung cancer continued to drop - COPD continued to drop - child asthma... suddenly started dropping Who benefits from portraying this as alarming?

According to the most recent US U.S. Surgeon General Report on tobacco, "cigarettes kill 490,000 Americans every year." That seems bad. The USSG did not write "tobacco products." He wrote "CIGARETTES": Mass-produced combustible tobacco cigarettes. (1/13) 👇

INDEPENDENT PRESS The blackened lungs are fake news. NZ teen nicotine vaping dropped by half over the past two years. UK teen vaping is not increasing. If the Y axis is set honestly to 100%, you need a magnifying glass to see how many kids vape more than once a week. Daily use near nil.

A nicotine vape device is not rocket science: Coil, wick, liquid, battery. That's it. We know more about what's in them than we know about any new craft-brewed beer. No one screams "we don't know what's in it!" when a new mango beer is released. No one claims "they target

Over the past decade: - Teen cigarette smoking dropped 90% to a 50-yr low - Under-age use shifted from deadly to safer - Teen nicotine use dropped 50% to an all-time low But Bloomberg Philanthropies wants you to be alarmed.

VOZ Literally everything in that article is contradicted by what CDC and NIH surveys actually show. #FactCheckHer: US teen use of ANY nicotine product has plummeted to a 50-year low. Daily use is near nil. monitoringthefuture.org/data/bx-by/dru… Middle & high school “current use”

Lung cancer continues to cause more than twice as many deaths as any other cancer. However, the annual % change in lung cancer incidence in men decreased more (-4.2%) 2019-22 than any other type of cancer (due to reduced smoking). acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.3322/ca…

Cigarettes kill 490,000 Americans every year. 25 million adults smoke (almost no teens smoke now). What if there was a health intervention that could reduce the number of people who smoke deadly cigarettes by 58% in just one year? Taxing it to make it less affordable and

"Health Canada estimated that Canada could reduce its smoking rate to 8.1% by 2035. However, with the introduction of legal vaping, the 2035 target is now 5.1%." westernstandard.news/opinion/benoit…

U.S. FDA has approved 2,400 new molecular entities (new drugs) over the past half-century. Approvals were based on animal and human toxicology testing, phase I, phase II and phase III clinical trials. Not one of these 2,400 new drugs had long-term use data...

Please spare a moment of your time for this incisive essay by Alan CMA: “Tobacco harm reduction does not need louder slogans or more polished consensus documents. It needs researchers willing to stay in the room when it would be easier to leave.” open.substack.com/pub/09algor/p/…

Huh... "the e-cigarette tax increased adult smoking and reduced smoking cessation in Minnesota." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32943812/ Who knew? ...other than ALL these studies I mean. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… f1000research.com/articles/12-121 tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/34/1/3… link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Great series!

Yah. Despite more than a dozen peer-reviewed studies that examined the impact of 'flavor' bans all over the United States... all showing those bans caused sales of DEADLY CIGARETTES to increase, policymakers still think this is a good idea. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

Sin taxes are like any other human endeavor. There is a point of declining marginal returns on added investments in anything, including coercive policies. After the tipping point, it's increasingly bad policy...

Your Hometown Stations - Lima Ohio Teens should not use nicotine. But there seems to be a conspiracy of silence to hide what NIH and CDC surveys actually show. US teen nicotine use has plummeted to a 50-year low. Daily use near nil. cdc.gov/media/releases… monitoringthefuture.org/data/bx-by/dru…

🇺🇸 A Tesla pulled off a split-second crash avoidance move that looked straight-up impossible. It’s the kind of moment AI and robotics fans live for: proof FSD tech could actually make roads safer. Great reflexes… for a car.
