It's interesting how much of the commentary on #SCOTUS vaping case assumes that the FDA is doing what it claims not to be doing (i.e. having unannounced rule against approving flavored vaping products). 1/

It's also interesting how much the oral argument highlighted how little the justices know about these products, the market, or the text of the Tobacco Act. Their clerks have work to do. 2/2

Smoke Vape Utah Chris Komatsu Indeed, there might even be published academic work on this. openyls.law.yale.edu/bitstream/hand…

Chris Komatsu Jonathan H. Adler Smoke Vape Utah Doesn't change that vaping is much safer than cigarettes, any more than the tiny risk of COVID vaccine (or other vaccine) side effects is much smaller than the disease. You sound like the type of guy who wants to ban vaccines for pregnant women and minors based on side effects.

Chris Komatsu Smoke Vape Utah It's a work that documents the role of big tobacco in the vaping regulation and vaping markets quite extensively. It's odd you keep resorting to ad hominem arguments. What did the paper get wrong?

THE E-CIGARETTE DECADE In 2010, HHS.gov set a goal to reduce high school cigarette smoking from 16%-12% by 2020. healthdata.gov/dataset/Health… By 2020, it hit 4.5% cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/6… As of 2024, it is 1.7% cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7… Why is no one celebrating?

A lot of views on this thread, which starts off with a fact more people need to know—that nicotine does not cause cancer—before getting into science on other areas, some of which is far too preliminary or legitimately disputed to be written about with such confidence.

Laugh out loud funny from #ClownCountry - the “illicit tobacco and e-cigarette commissioner” was “unable to meet with” industry reporting rampant illegal markets. Just another day of World Health Organization (WHO)-fuelled ideological stupidity.

WAKE THE F UP VAPERS!! We need to mobilize on a scale like never before in the US or it's over. Smoking rates will again climb and Big Tobacco will be in control. This is a reality check... FDA is complicit in what's happening and we are not being saved by Trump. Wake up!!

Wonder what dispensaries will do for hardware? It's being blocked at the ports right now.

Truth Initiative has a solution to help young adults quit vaping and using nicotine . . . . use nicotine. "How nicotine replacement therapy can help young adults quit nicotine for good." 'Nicotine gum, lozenges, or patches – are safe, backed by science.' truthinitiative.org/research-resou…

Lance Churchill 🤣 Hmm, where have I seen this before?

This has to be the largest and most successful industry ever created by government and FDA Tobacco Dr. Marty Makary & President Donald J. Trump are about to jump start a massive black market in the U.S. and give the Mexican cartels a whole new and very profitable income stream. dailysignal.com/2025/06/18/chi…

Seems Truth Initiative wants to give children unknown risks, a gateway to cocaine, and... wait a minute...

Nicotine is now a way to get off nicotine? Omg 🤦‍♀️ There’s just no way you could make this shit up! lol 😂 The professional multi billion dollar quit industry has outdone themselves! 🤣 Btw- NRT methods like gums, patches, lozenges are at least 4-5x less effective than vaping!

Lance Churchill Nicotine products made by Pharma companies: Good. All other nicotine products: Bad. This is of course, utter stupidity. If someone wants to quit vaping, the best way is with an open system which allows the level of nicotine to be reduced gradually. If done gradually enough,
