Putting together a spreadsheet of details about the submissions to the #AusTHRInquiry2020.
1st graph I've been able to create from the 195 submissions so far listed in the spreadsheet..

103 personal subs where age was stated or inferred / known(1).
Counts by decade..
1/3
1) Age could be inferred for some subs: e.g. "started smoking at 15, smoked for 30 years, switched to vaping 3 years ago" = 48 years old.
For one (my own), I did not list an age, as my submission was mostly for the 2.9 million ppl in #Australia who still #smoke #cigarettes.
2/3
There are a total of 103 personal submissions counted in the chart above.
3/3
Almost forgot.
Of subs with ages, the range was 21-72 years old and the average age (rounded to nearest month) is 48 years 8 months.
4/not gonna guess..

A number of people submitting to the #AusTHRInquiy2020 have expressed concern that their submissions have not yet appeared. This tweet thread is an analysis of the order and logic with which the submissions are appearing. My best advice is:
Don't Worry. Yours will appear soon. 1/ Image
The image in the first tweet shows the list of submissions so far, which provide a date on the document. I am assuming the date on the document is on or close to, the date lodged. It is sorted by date, and the first column (#) shows that they do not appear in order. 2/
But why would they appear out of order?
For a number of reasons. I put on my 'administrators hat' and try to imagine how I, managing a team of administrative underlings, while catering to the wishes and demands of the politicians sitting on the inquiry, might approach it. 3/

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.

Emily Banks 'sum total of world experience' .. yeah, with some heavy #CherryPicking.
The Oz #ANTZ /all/ seem to be loving 'the #GatewayEffect' which is a 'real thing'.. 🙄

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.. Image
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.

"A rational approach to #eCigarettes - challenging ERS policy on #TobaccoHarmReduction."

#EuropenRespiratoryJournal
erj.ersjournals.com/content/early/… Key messages for a rational approach to vaping and e-cigarettes
1) People #smoke #tobacco because of #nicotine addiction, but the major harms come not from the nicotine but from toxic substances in the smoke.
2) #Pharmacotherapy (e.g. dual #NRT or #varenicline) combined with psychological support should be made available to all #smokers to help them to quit and should be considered as the first line approach.

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..
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).
