Here are the most commonly used smoking cessation tools in the USA according to CDC. The "effectiveness" of any health intervention depends on (a) "efficacy" and (b) "popularity" (use). Something that is efficacious, but that no one uses, is not "effective." (1/5) 👇

The health benefits of NICOTINE. When will FDA Tobacco and CDC Tobacco Free wake up and admit the truth. The public _IS_ waking up to the lies they've been told. Secretary Kennedy please MAHA and cleanup U.S. FDA so we can save lives.

Another mini 🧵on the importance of flavored non-combustible nicotine products. There are now 3⃣ papers – using very different data – all showing that people who use a noncombustible prod. flavor *different* from their usual cig flavor are more likely to switch:

“Vaping causes lung damage”? Not according to CoEHAR. Their new review of 12 studies found no significant changes in lung function—even among daily users. Time to cut through the smoke. #harmreduction clearingtheair.eu/en/post/vapes-…

"When it's easier to bring a cigarette onto the market than a vape or a pouch, both of which the FDA acknowledges are dramatically safer, that is not appropriate for the protection of public health." - Guy Bentley speaking now to the House Oversight Committee

🤡 What an absolute travesty. After masquerading as an objective arbiter of The Science™, King has now waltzed through the revolving door to the most rabid anti-vape org in the country -- thus dropping the mask and confirming he was a fanatic all along.

New study from Dr. Rodu (Brad Rodu) et al. "In short, Glantz et al. failed to meet basic criteria for the quality of source studies; the results of their meta-analysis are invalid." Glantz in the mud. Again. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Today, the FDA announced a tool where people can tell them which regulations need to be eliminated. Tobacco harm reduction folks: tell everyone you know about it & make sure we let them know that the war on snus/nicotine pouches/vape needs to END! regulations.gov/deregulation

A lot of people are promoting the new government "Deregulation" website with no instruction on how to use it. The whole site is deliberately intimidating, but ChatGPT can help us shine a light on the PMTA pathway🧵 regulations.gov/deregulation

🚫 “Gateway” myth busted. New US study finds teens are more likely to start with cigarettes than vapes. Smoking → Vaping. Time to rethink youth policy. #HarmReduction #Vaping clearingtheair.eu/en/post/teen-s…

Stanton Glantz’s vape research is junk science dressed up in meta-analysis. Now, a new expert review has called it what it is: misleading, flawed, and dangerous to public health. #BadScience #VapeTruth clearingtheair.eu/en/post/mislea…

No real-world user vapes like that. In the study, they ran 500 puffs in just over 4 hours that’s one puff every 30 seconds, continuously, for hours on end. But typical vapers take 200–250 puffs per day, not per half-day. So this "toxic metals" data is based on a use pattern
