Economics: Every market analyst on Earth sees product substitution as an absolute certainty: Nicotine vapes displace cigarette.

Tobacco Control: "Experts" continue to claim "there is no evidence that e-cigarettes help smokers quit."

THEY CAN'T BOTH BE RIGHT

Now the dark side: Market analysts have access to detailed market data showing product substitution. So do Tobacco companies.

#BigTobacco is sitting on conclusive evidence that could settle this debate. Why not share it?

BECAUSE THAT WOULD SPOOK INVESTORS

Now the REALLY dark side:

Certain organizations claim "#SaferNicotine products are a Big Tobacco plot to make billions."
@BloombergDotOrg @truthinitiative @FCTCofficial

This claim helps Big Tobacco continue to hide the FACT that e-cigarette product substitution hurts them.

1) It costs Big Tobacco pennies to make cigs that they then sell for dollars. This is THE cash cow.

2) The markup on e-cigarettes is FAR less because of competition from non-tobacco vapes

@FCTCofficial & @BloombergDotOrg help Big Tobacco by slowing product substitution.
