In adolescents who have never smoked most #vaping is occasional and short-term
Frequent vaping in this group is uncommon: 1-2% in most international surveys eg England ⤵️

Rather than being a gateway into smoking, #vaping is diverting young people AWAY from smoking overall. Increased vaping is accompanied by an accelerated decline in youth smoking

(Thread) Le 13/02 @Le_Cnct a dévoilé un rapport sur les nvx produits du tabac et de la nicotine. Certaines de ses propositions constituent un risque majeur pour la santé publique et pourraient avoir des conséquences dramatiques. On vous dit pourquoi 👇
2/☝️Tout d’abord un rappel: La #vape est l’outil de sevrage préféré des Français pour arrêter le tabac. 4 millions de Français se tiennent éloignés du tabac. La vape contribue directement à la diminution du nombre de décès liés au tabagisme.👇
3/☝️La vape est l’outil de #sevrage le plus efficace, devant les substituts traditionnels,comme le constate la revue @CochraneLibrary dans sa dernière étude #StopTabac cochrane.org/news/latest-co… 👇

Most scientists believe #ecigs are safer than #cigarettes.
Regulating #ecigs such as with taxes therefore restricts access to a reduced-risk consumer product.
#Ecig taxes may reduce #ecig use, but they could also increase the use of more lethal forms of #nicotine.

31 states have enacted #ecig taxes, often with the stated goal of “protecting kids.”
The federal government is considering setting a federal #ecig tax at the same rate as the #cigarette tax.

1) Just a reminder @WHO @FCTCofficial that the roof you live under is held up by pillars YOU are responsible to uphold.
If you ignore one it could bring the whole thing down.
Failing to acknowledge Article 1(d) and #harmreduction #tobaccoharmreduction is a failure of ideology.

3) Your roof is falling down on your head.
You fail to ask the question, "Why do people use nicotine?"
Instead you dehumanize them. Demonize them. You "other" them.
Why are 70% of cigarettes smoked, smoked by the #neurodiverse?
Why do you attack #safernicotine options?

So imagine my surprise as Virginia USA Quasi-Legalized a measured amount of Cannabis, There are New Laws and Regulations (feel the price of a nickel sack go astronomical) in pipe-line.
Banning Post office from delivering vaping products, and Other carriers will be banned too 🤔

Ahhh, I get it, the Legislators formulate their law building by the forces of Money Flow. Delta Effex developed and makes a Superior Hemp Product (legalized under Farm Bill). THC<0.3%. With #Terpenes that promotes, for me, less pain, more active, feel Better ❤️🩹
The @TGAgovau has stated they will 'educate' docs & pharmacists on #nicotine containing vapes before the Oct 1 regulations come into effect in #Australia. With less than 4 months to go until that takes effect, they seem likely to fail in that promise.

What Skerrit is saying in regard to not bringing #tobacco under the prescription model is complete rubbish. The @TGAgovau site explicitly mentions novel #nicotine products - #SLT & #HTP.
Huh.. @hollieahughes just said they're due to report by /18th/ December. I'd thought it was the 1st of December.

Fascinating (but not surprising) that MOST #ANTZ call out from their ECHO (Echo echo) chambers claiming to know what ALL #vape 'fans' think. So here's a tweet thread from a persons who #vapes and is a fan of #TobaccoHarmReduction, to clarify what ONE person in that group thinks..
I'm completely in favor of 'phasing out' combustible #cigarettes. #THR products like #vape, #snus & #HTP could do that in a decade or so if the moron #ANTZ (like Ruth) had not demonized #nicotine & currently .. 'fight' against alternative nicotine products.
But when an #ANTZ says 'phasing out', my auto-correct inserts 'prohibition', and I definitely don't support that. It is a #HumanRight for people to choose to consume drugs, and the role of (ACTUAL) #PublicHealth ppl should be to encourage them to do so in the safest way possible.
The plan to ban #vaping is a disaster for public health

2/ "We don’t know what the long-term consequences are going to be”
It is beyond reasonable doubt that #vaping will be far less risky than smoking. @RCPLondon estimates that the long-term risk is likely to be no more than 5% of the risk of smoking

Following a long line of articles from #TobaccoControl types who completely fail to 'get' #TobaccoHarmReduction, @LauraRossouw chimes in to prove she can misunderstand it up with the 'best'.
So let's look at a brief overview of the article..
So let's look at a brief overview of the article..
Firstly, the title itself. Not only do #THR advocates support (sensible) regulation on #eCigarettes / #vaping, but there are, in most countries, a variety of legacy consumer protections that apply to them (e.g. standards for electrical goods or standards for labeling poisons).
Important corrections on the bullet list seen in this tweet.
"• no tested and approved e-cigarette products are available"
True, and given the 'defined dose' requirement for 'medical devices' it's likely to stay that way.
Ppl approving such things need to get comfortable with the concept of 'self titration' - ..

The #ANTZ of #TobaccoControl fight for their ideology.
We fight for our lives & those of ppl who #smoke.
We. Will. Win.
It's just a matter of when, and how many lives will be ruined before then.

A message for the #ANTZ of #TobaccoControl who would have our lives conform to their ideals (e.g. a #nicotine-free world).
We've been closely following FDA’s announcement of a partial sales ban on flavored nicotine #vaping products and we believe the proposed enforcement action falls short of its stated goal to protect the public's health. ow.ly/AXWT50xMPI3
The most recent evidence shows that mint and menthol are among the most popular #vape products used by youth and although raising the minimum tobacco purchase age is an important step, it is not enough to stem the youth e-cigarette epidemic.
E-cigarettes could make nicotine addiction WORSE and 'vapers should get the same quitting help as smokers'

This title is deceptive in that it mentions #eLiquid but then goes on to discuss the components (concentrated #nicotine) used to MAKE e-liquid.
In a regulated, legal market there'd be no need for the latter to be in the homes of #Australians who want to #QuitSmoking via #vaping.

Some quotes from @VicHealth in "#ElectronicCigarettes containing #nicotine" (www2.health.vic.gov.au/public-health/…)

.. This decision was made on the basis that #nicotine for human use is a dangerous poison, and electronic cigarettes have not been assessed for safety, quality or efficacy."
So .. obviously #NRT has been assessed. #Cigarettes? Oh, my bad - they're EXEMPT from the SUSMP!

THREAD: As the evidence becomes increasingly clear that recent lung illnesses are caused by black market THC products, bans on flavored nicotine #vapor products are proving to be a misguided solution to this pressing issue (1/10)
E-cigarettes and other nicotine-related vapor products that consumers can buy in c-stores and #vape shops across the country are strongly regulated, with ingredient lists provided to @US_FDA (2/10)
Nicotine #vapor products have been tested repeatedly and shown no signs of the vitamin E compound found in illicit THC vapes believed to be the cause of these illnesses. FDA has been clear in warning consumers to stop vaping THC—not nicotine. (3/10)
@OregonGovBrown logic: ppl are getting sick from vaping #THC oil (black market, mostly). So we're going to ban nicotine vape & send nicotine & THC vapers to the black mkt - which is what's been killing people ... Are they trying to kill off all smokers? #VapeBan #vaping
ALL cases where they've found a cause have been THC oil ... and the symptoms of vaping oil (esp. Vitamin E oil) are identical to the symptoms being reported #vaping #VapeBan #vapingsaveslives @OregonGovBrown
Nicotine e-cigs have been around for about a decade. These illnesses just started this summer. Ergo, it's something new, not the e-cigs people have been using all this time #VapeBan #vaping #vapingsaveslives
So hey @GovInslee - you’re destroying an industry that I feel passionate about because not only did I get to quit smoking cigarettes from #vaping, but it saved my life. Thread:
I was in a mentally abusive relationship for years. The guy cheated on me for a long while with a minor. My coping mechanism during and after that relationship was Camel Crush Menthols. Pack a day. It was a bad bad habit. Until one day, I learned about something new.
I met someone new after the other guy and I split. Nicest guy ever. He was outside of work and pulled out a #vaping device as I reached for my cigarettes. He educated me about everything, how it was safer, how the nicotine intake could be controlled, everything.

@realDonaldTrump @POTUS @FLOTUS @WhiteHouse @SecAzar Also- It's important to note that the deaths and most likely ALL of the illness related to #vaping were from blackmarket #THC juice, not commercially sold juice. I have smokers bronchitis (still) if anyone were to get sick from this stuff, it would be me. Not a young person.
@realDonaldTrump @POTUS @FLOTUS @WhiteHouse @SecAzar Here is a screen shot from one of the most popular #ejuice sellers online. It is the flavor profiles offered. Do you see #Tobacco flavor?
Nope, it is in there under #menthol flavors but only 6% of #vapers in a survey liked Tobacco flavor compared to #dessert and fruit flavors.
