I am generally right of center. I want no part of this God King Trump crap.

This is an important thread detailing all the reasons why recent media coverage of an unpublished study on vaping warrants a degree of skepticism, if not outright dismissal as entirely lacking in merit. 🧵

Incredible to see scientists publicising findings of an unpublished and seemingly unfinished study in this way. Evidence requires scrutiny - particularly when it directly contradicts a wealth of published literature. This will fuel misperceptions and keep people smoking longer.

I love how the Altria guy explains that eliminating "illicit" products (read: not theirs) is one of the three pillars of THR.

like two months ago, shitlibs on this site dogpiled a woman into locking her account after she said she reported male Uber Eats drivers renting women’s accounts because she felt it was a safety issue. she got death threat threats for being a “racist Karen”

Just weird for people who pretend to care about Jeffrey Epstein to defend/celebrate two brothers who are credibly accused of very similar crimes (trafficking women, rape, money laundering, sex with minors etc.)

Could someone please tell him it mostly went to US armaments factories.

Sure would be nice if the Feds weighed in on nicotine vape regulations. Right now state after state is banning products based on a broken application system that’s currently being litigated.

They are spreading like a virus Tennessee: "The bill establishes a registry that requires vape shops products have already received or are in the process of receiving FDA approval. It would also stop all use of products not listed in the FDA directory." msn.com/en-us/news/us/…

Durbin introduces his bill to federally tax e-cigarettes again: "The End Tobacco Loopholes Act" because of the youth vaping epidemic. Endorsed by CTFK, American Lung Association, American Heart Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, PAVe, and ASCAN. durbin.senate.gov/newsroom/press…

A sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance. It only makes Trump look more presidential and restrained. We’re becoming the metaphorical car alarms that nobody pays attention to—and it may not be the winning message.

If we're just going to grant a bunch of exceptions to the tariffs--for preferred firms and industries--we're going to end up in a place where politically connected businesses receive unfair advantages. This is government picking winners and losers. It's bad.

Something like 80% of the Ukie refugees are women and kids - the men are all fighting. This is not the group we should be focusing on.

Latest data from the CDC: "US adults who exclusively smoke cigarettes decreased by 6.8 million between 2017-2023. However, 7.2 million adults started exclusively using e-cigarettes." It's almost like vaping is shockingly effective for smoking cessation. news.bloomberglaw.com/pharma-and-lif…
