90% of nicotine vapers say they have fewer and less severe lung infections (consistent with peer-reviewed research). omicsonline.org/open-access/ch…
1/5 How does @FDATobacco portray a 29% drop in US teen vaping, in just one year? To begin with, it ignores the fact that NYTC doesn't ask what kids are vaping (YRBS showss half is THC, not nicotine). It claims teen vaping is still alarming.
2/5 Let's see what that actually looks like when the Y axis is set at 100% instead of 30%. And we add the latest survey finding showing ANOTHER 32.4% drop in teen "regular use" (which includes even one puff in the past 30 days).
Then add YRBS data: Half of that is THC.
3/5 Now we see the full extent of US teen "regular use" by late 2020 (during pandemic).
Frequent use is much less of course. Daily use is even lower. And less than 1% vape nicotine daily and never smoked (the "whole new generation addicted")...
