MelissaLDavey back in Grauniad on her anti vaping blitzkrieg with quotes from all your favourite vaping haters (Simon missing?) but sorry no room for any quotes from experts with other views. Balance? No mention firebombings, killings Pippa Starr - Let's Improve Vaping Education! 🇦🇺 theguardian.com/australia-news…

Australian Labor's #vaping bans have failed. Don't take my word for it. Hear what Joe Hildebrand, Ben Fordham, Dr Joe, Dr Nicole Lee, and Dr Colin Mendelsohn have to say.

Helen Polley Australian Labor Tasmanian Labor Quitta Sutton Helen thinks self-promoting tweets like this will buy favour at the polls. Too bad the opposite is true. We see through the smokescreen.

Trendlines for #smoking and #vaping look good for public health. A cynic--not me--would say that this explains why so-called public interest groups are now so strongly against vaping. They need a new enemy and reason to be. I would hate to think that's the case.

Now served with a community note.

Helen Polley Australian Labor Tasmanian Labor Quitta Sutton Australia can't turn blind eye to Vaping, AND THEY SHOULDNT! They should Embrace Vape for the tremendous help to many smokers. Vape not only STOPS SMOKING, but gives back Health as a Never Smoker! But OZ is so busy growing the blk mrkt by not parenting, they use blinders!

#ANTZ: first it was 'Think of the Children™', now 'Repeat a Lie till People Believe it'. .. Straight from the #BigNazi #Playbook. Of course, #eSafety advocates want to go all 1984 and add, 'and the only truth comes from #BigGov'. Fortunately, #CommunityNotes fight that.✊🙌

Public health organizations are PURPOSEFULLY LYING These Community Notes are being applied to their posts day after day They should be held civilly liable Smokers and ex smokers need to start suing these organizations for blatant and willful lies #itsallaruse

Want to stop most/all illegal vapes entering Australia? How when arriving in Australia/year: ➡️ 7.8 million containers but inspection capacity only 100,800? ➡️billions parcels? ➡️27,000 km coastline mostly deserted? ➡️nicotine vapes odourless? 1/2

They seem to be processing the 'high volume of submissions' at a glacial pace. The other day I saw only 5 new subs posted. There are currently 111 and it's been that way all day. When is this inquiry due to /report/ Australian Government? 🤨 #Australia aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_…

But stabbing >17 million members of the community in the back is ok???? Vaping is saving the “community” from death and disease from cigarettes! You have state senators like Helen Polley block community members, censoring them from voicing their opinions. Don’t be hypocritical

Using prevalence statistics from 6 years ago, when newer data exist, is proof of either ignorance or deliberate misleading, Nick Mark MD. High school overall tobacco use is at its lowest point ever.

Hazel Cheeseman If this works, *how* do you think it works? I would say it is designed to work through humiliation and stigma. By making the person who smokes look like and feel like a fool. It’s nothing to do with informing people about risks. It’s gleefully sadistic. Your view?

"Gangs fighting to control state’s illicit tobacco and vape market are using children to commit arson, inquiry hears" "However, he said the force did not want to be the enforcer of any tobacco regulations." Things are going just swimmingly... theguardian.com/australia-news….

When vaping deniers say ‘we know absolute fact tobacco companies deliberately design vapes to target children, addict whole new generation to nicotine’ they know they can get away with it as no one demands they produce evidence Pippa Starr - Let's Improve Vaping Education! 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 Northern Territory Consumers for THR Dr Joe The Vaper

Another Labor government MP gets information called out in a community note!

How many people who submitted to the Federal Government’s THERAPEUTIC GOODS AND OTHER LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (VAPING REFORMS) BILL 2024 [PROVISIONS] inquiry can see their submission published on their website by 5pm today (Tuesday)?

It is disappointing to read inaccurate information about #THR from WHO on Twitter. Accurate information is crucial for public health. We encourage everyone to perform substantial studies on the benefits of tobacco harm reduction and the benefits to smokers who are attempting to

For a universal primer on debunking anti-vaping bullshit, look no further than this masterful takedown of tobacco control submissions to Australia's Senate inquiry by the always-on Dr Colin Mendelsohn. Outstanding! colinmendelsohn.com.au/senate-2/

I'm on break. From Twitter and THR advocacy. Don't know when I'll be back - I've got a huge pile of projects that need commencing or completing. Take care & all the best with the great advocacy y'all do. 👋 drive.google.com/file/d/1j8kIhS…
