This is a big deal. Asked about FDA during the announcement of his presidential campaign yesterday, Gov. Ron DeSantis did not hold back. @DrCaliff_FDA and @FDATobacco, looking at you here. 👀

I watched the @7NewsSydney Vape Debate moderated by @AmeliaBrace between (then) premier @Dom_Perrottet and (current) premier @ChrisMinnsMP with interest.

Buckle up. It's a 🧵
[Amelia] In New South Wales they're technically only available by prescription, but there's a booming Black Market trade out there.
[Chris] Yeah I am concerned about, I guess, the ability the ease of ability for particularly young people to get access to Vapes.

Thread: I am seeing a disturbing trend on the college campus I work on: young people smoking cigarettes. Now, the realist in me says that these young people are experimenting, especially since they are so far removed from parent’s oversight. But why with cigarettes? We have so
Much evidence that cigarettes are harmful to your health. The students I see smoking surely aren’t of age to smoke, especially as college freshmen, with the age being 21. I know older students aren’t straw purchasing them for the younger students, as I witnessed a group of
Freshmen boys go into a c-store and come out with a pack or Marlboro reds; the oldest boy couldn’t have been over 19, which is 2 years below the legal age for tobacco usage in NYS, and nationwide. It’s obvious they were able to get a fake ID good enough to fool the poor clerk

Right-wing Twitter accounts have appropriated the term "Boogaloo" to refer to a hypothetical second US civil war, possibly sparked by gun regulations. We dug into their usage of the hashtags #Boogaloo and #Boogaloo2020.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
@ZellaQuixote We downloaded tweets containing either #Boogaloo or #Boogaloo2020 and removed early non-political tweets. Volume has been slowly rising since March 2019, and spiked abruptly during/after a Nov 23 standoff between police and an armed suspect in Mahopac, NY. thedailybeast.com/how-instagram-…
@ZellaQuixote The first Twitter account to use #Boogaloo in a civil war/anti-gun law sense appears to be @Fly_guyfishy, in a March 28 reply to @NRA. The first to gain significant traction was @AP4Liberty, who felt the need to tweet about not being banned for a previous gun-related tweet.

1/8 And a few more points for @GovWhitmer, a thread...

Teen use of vaping products, as reported by @US_FDA was overwhelmingly because of "curiosity" rather than flavors as you keep trying to claim, which is data from the 2019 NYTS fda.gov/tobacco-produc… with most using Juul
2/8 This leads directly into point number two, from looking at FDA sales/inspection data, it is, again overwhelmingly not vape shops that are selling to teens, this data can be seen here yes-i-vape.com/post/fda-compl… out of all sales to underage in MI only 13 (2.22% were at vape shops)

Thread:
Thank you @AGAshleyMoody for the investigation. My family will appreciate it if you could please keep our kids safe. To do so sometimes you do have to prove that the legitimate eLiquid manufacturers in the state are not the problem.
My son lives off campus and attends FGCU. In the last 3 weeks he showed my on Snapchat a lot of advertising of THC Cartos for sale. When I explained to him that those illicit THC carts Dank Vapes and TKO have been destroying lungs he was very surprised.
He also told me that some of the kids at FGCU had thrown away their Vapes went back to smoking cigarettes but were still Danking or using their THC Carts. I explained that they threw away the wrong device and that his Friends can be in danger of collapsed lungs.
