Big Tobacco doing well. Why?

Thanks to unrelenting leadership from our #publichealth partners, we've weathered the threat of alternative #nicotine products throughout much of the world. Our outlook is better today than at any point since the invention of #ecigs. 👍🚬💰

IMO that includes nicotine.

On #HarmReduction Day, let's face the facts: millions in Africa still smoke with limited access to less harmful alternatives. Evidence shows safer nicotine products save lives! It's time for policy rooted in science, not stigma. #THR #SaferNicotine #HarmReductionDay

“[Nicotine Pouches are] going to be significantly less harmful than smoking – I’m pretty confident, from looking at their constituents.” Just Linda Bauld telling regulators in Scotland what they don't want to hear. the-independent.com/news/uk/home-n…

Dr. Johnny Twovapes, VBOSB I'm not sure it's that (or that alone). Compare PMI (blue line) and BAT (pink) over 5 years.

Should schools punish students for their behaviour when they're not on school grounds?

Baltimore is suing PMI for allegedly targeting children and adolescents in their design and marketing of Zyn. It might be entertaining to see the plaintiff's claims undergo scrutiny in a court of law. The complaint: dicellolevitt.com/wp-content/upl…

"The Global State of #Tobacco #HarmReduction 2024: A Situation Report" is the latest major report from @globalstatethr. The extent to which #SaferNicotine products are substituting for #combustible & risky #oraltobacco products is its unifying theme. gsthr.org/resources/thr-…

🎙️ Join our Jim McCarthy, special guest Joe Gitchell and esteemed professor Kevin Schroth from Rutgers SPH. x.com/i/spaces/1mnGe…

Kevin Schroth Русана Rutgers SPH 16M to 18M of the total 20M adult US vapers use these "illicit" flavored e-cigs, with most using them to quit smoking. What could possibly go wrong with your prohibition plan? 1. Increased smoking; 2. creation of a huge black market and 3. Giving total control of the vaping

Remember when Dr. Marty Makary's predecessor used to arrange invite-only sessions where he would field pre-screened questions comparing him to the Apollo astronauts? Here's a long overdue step in the right direction. Now do vape policy reform, please. x.com/US_FDA/status/…

They denied the real science. They denied harm reduction. They denied their failures. They denied the real experts! They denied the consumers! With 24000 deaths from smoking every year, it’s time to get the real experts in! This disaster must end!

Do I get points for knowing myself well enough that I did prepare just such a post instead of working on what I really need to do? Probably not. substack.com/@joegitchell31…
