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.. 
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.
To expand on #PublicHealth, Ruth is fortunate that #America is not a party to the @FCTCofficial, as she might be accused of being a vile hypocrite for not enthusiastically supporting article 1d, specifying #HarmReduction as an inherent aspect of #TobaccoControl.
But I would be reluctant to refer to these #ANTZ as nannies. A nanny has positive connotations. Their current 'war' on #smokers & #nicotine consumers (let's be clear - we're not #CollateralDamage, we're #CannonFodder) is better described as #DeskMurder.
Let's move on to some of Ruth's other claims..
"antivax" ... 🤦
I'm anti-pathogen. I'm so /pro-vax/ that when I came up with this theory, I spent a considerable amount of time turning it into an animated infographic, and promote it whenever I notice the topic come up (not that often, given my laser focus on #THR).

'believe in seat belts'
No, I don't 'believe' in seat belts, I wear them.
I expect they will reduce the harm (AKA #HarmReduction, seemingly a concept unknown to #ANTZ) if the car I'm in is involved in a collision. I've worn them since a child, long before they were compulsory.

I don't object to other people NOT wearing a seat-belt, so long as they have comprehensive health insurance that will prevent them becoming a financial burden on society should they be hospitalized or crippled.
In countries with no state funded #HealthCare, 🤷do as you please.

I also don't get on a motorcycle without a helmet, and as a further precaution when I'm riding pillion, I make sure to grab onto the rider. The message I'm sending is: "Don't do those damn fool things bikers like to do to show off. If I fall off the back, YOU'RE coming off too!"
But circling back to #tobacco, banning it sure doesn't stop people from #smoking. I was buying #BlackMarket long before #PlainPackaging. And given IT comes in black plastic bags, I .. doubted the #TobaccoControl line that olive colored packs would make a dent in smoking rates.
In closing 'make PH sense'.
- If talking about /actual/ PH, no.
- If talking about your industry, don't care.
- If talking about you/your job, note that I have as much concern for you as you show for #nicotine consumers. (..Read between the lines.)

Just like #cigarettes Ruth, your kind are obsolescent & in the EOL phase. Retire now and you might avoid having to appear in the dock, being asked questions you do not want to answer.

@threadreaderapp unroll please, you lovely bot. <- Last bit added for benefit of the #ANTZ who can't tell the difference. I.E. ALL of them. 😏
