When it comes to #THR advocacy, there are 2 things that are a bee in my bonnet. Misinformation and the lack of agreeing on common goals/working to achieve them is the other. In honor of #WNTD22, I'm redoing a thread from a while ago. #ChangeTheConversation

"Tobacco control organizations have become mired in the “hows” and have lost sight of the “whys” – we have a common goal. Let’s join hands to save lives and improve public health."

I encourage both of my communities to join hands across the ideological divide to pursue our common cause of combatting illness and saving lives by preventing tobacco use by young people and helping adult smokers quit smoking.

The public health objective should be to develop policies and interventions that both reduce youth vaping and increase adult smoking cessation.

Most scientists would agree that balancing the risks and benefits of e-cigarettes for the individual cigarette smoker is critically important. Most would also agree that tobacco-naive youths should not start using e-cigs...

I remember how excited I was a year ago when @cdoug Tweeted his statement about how we need to #ChangeTheConversation about #THR and #Smoking. His latest tweet reminds me that his voice is one of many. This gives me hope.

"The debate is heated, driven as much by emotions and philosophies as by facts. One hopes that the debate will move to an evidence-based discussion as research fleshes out the factual basis for evaluating the roles of these novel products."

“We must not focus our efforts so narrowly on preventing tobacco use by youth that we send smokers the message that we have abandoned them -- that their addiction is their own fault and that we don't care about them.”

Today's thread:
"If you're feeling helpless, help someone"
Today, my daily goals of listening to music and to a TED talk collided. After a day reflecting on people from opposing sides, it fit my mood in a poetic way.

War, I don't know why it's a 3 letter word, because it's worse than any 4 letter word I know. War isn't just machine guns and tanks. War is about power struggles. The political scene is a war. How to deal with Covid is a war. We've had a drug war for years a war against smoking.
As a society, we've perverted what it means to win. The win has become more important than the mission. People suffer and die because of our wars. In the end, as a society, war is destroying us. We're getting out of touch with how to love our neighbors because we're too busy...
I feel a thread coming on. Grab a coffee and your reading glasses. My feels are flowing.
With so much conversation about bias and disclosures I thought maybe it was time to look at my own. Why is the movement to #ChangeTheConversation and save #ABillionLives so important to me?

I chose to enjoy some online interaction with fellow advocates last night and stayed up very late. So I already knew I'd be tired today because of lack of sleep. The little sleep I got was far from restful.
I dreamed I was in a hallway, peeking through the crack in a door. Saying, pleading, yelling...
"Hang in there bud, you got this, come back to us, please don't die! I love you, I'm here, can you hear me? TOM! It's Mom. Please hang in there".
I dreamt it over and over. 😢
