 @AmericanCancer: CHANGE YOUR POSITION ON ECIGS

ACS' 2018-2019 position statement on e-cigarettes: "less harmful than smoking cigarettes"

 @AmericanCancer: CHANGE YOUR POSITION ON ECIGS

November 2019: Because "use of e-cigarettes in young people has since skyrocketed to epidemic proportion," ACS decided to stop telling smokers the truth ("less harmful than smoking cigarettes").

 @AmericanCancer: CHANGE YOUR POSITION ON ECIGS

2019 position statement: "ACS does not recommend e-cigarettes as a cessation method."

But, “former smokers now using e-cigarettes should not revert to smoking.” So... still LESS HARMFUL THAN SMOKING.

 @AmericanCancer: CHANGE YOUR POSITION ON ECIGS

ACS reversed its Feb. 2018 position in Nov. 2019 because teen vaping had increased. But @CDCgov NYTS data released in Sept. 2020 show teen vaping dropped 29% in 2019, and only 4.4% of teens vaped daily.

 @AmericanCancer: CHANGE YOUR POSITION ON ECIGS

New data show teen vaping dropped ANOTHER 32% during pandemic
jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

So total 2019-2020 drop = 52%. Fewer teens vape now than 2015. FAR FEWER than 2018, when ACS told the truth: "less harmful than smoking." Image

@Megarittz @mihotep @TobaccoFreeKids @truthinitiative @BloombergDotOrg San Francisco banned 'flavors' in April 2019

RESULT: Young adult use of "flavored tobacco products" did not drop "sharply." E-cigarette and cigar use dropped a bit. And cigarette smoking increased.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
@Megarittz @mihotep @TobaccoFreeKids @truthinitiative @BloombergDotOrg JUUL funded external researchers to look at the impact of e-cigarette bans. The total ban in MA caused cigarette sales to increase dramatically. Flavor bans in Rhode Island and Washington state caused cigarette sales to increase about 5%.

@Megarittz @mihotep @TobaccoFreeKids @truthinitiative @BloombergDotOrg Nova Scotia banned flavors recently, and has seen an 'unprecedented' 29% increase in cigarette sales.

I'm sharing these 10 online surveys with permission. Assume they may be biased because we, in the #VapeFam, self-select in (we had positive experiences switched from smoking to nicotine vapes). Still very interesting!
93% of nicotine vapers say their health has improved.
90% of nicotine vapers say they have fewer and less severe lung infections (consistent with peer-reviewed research).

 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")...
