Are there two governments in the Uk? One which generally supports THR and gives out free vapes. The other bans disposables and is now planning a vape tax hike in next week’s budget?

There is currently much concern about the spread of false information resulting from AI, deep fakes and the like. But hackers have got nothing on the WHO when it comes to spreading harmful misinformation detrimental to the wellbeing of smokers looking to quit smoking.

Apparently working for WHO tobacco control instanteously exposes you to delusions, seriously damaging to public health, compared to those with a proper job. Mice, however, should quit vaping immediately, especially cheese flavour.

Be aware that the WHO has an AI bot which is responding with false and misleading information about tobacco harm reduction. who-en.digitalhero.cloud/landing/index.…

Just shows what can be achieved when safer products are not banned! Cigarette sales in Japan nosedive. Isn’t that what tobacco control is supposed to achieve rather than focusing on obsessive anti-THR propaganda?

Hats off to Panama! Vape ban declared unconstitutional. Could this start a wave of judicial challenges about denying smokers the right to health self-determination?

This from The Guardian newspaper’s request for donations to help them expose “Lobby groups with opaque funding who are determined to undermine facts about the climate emergency and other established science”. Very familiar to those fighting tobacco harm reduction deniers

The FDA Tobacco tells the US Supreme Court that nicotine damages adolescent brains. Not true, writes Brad Rodu rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.com/2024/09/fda-br… #smoking #vaping #tobacco #misinformation

Funny that decades of research into teen smoking never revealed that nicotine damages the adolescent brain. Only nicotine in vapes?? I don’t think so.

Can we now stop talking about an epidemic of youth vaping? The novelty was bound to wear off. Focus on the real epidemic: smoking-related death and disease
