Although @FDA has banned 99.9% of vaping products and rejected tobacco harm reduction, it's willing to take a sensible harm-reduction approach with other products. Why the double standard? The agency is run by hypocrites and motivated by politics. THREAD 🧵

After @reaganudall’s scorching audit, @FDATobacco’s response has been mostly lip service, finagling for more money, and double-down on failed policies. But the health inequities imposed by de facto prohibition on vaping *are* horrendous, so let’s look close at this news.
THREAD🧵
If CTP’s new equity chief, Dr. Le Fauve, wants to improve how the agency’s approach impacts vulnerable populations, there’s lots to redress. Start with the fact that countless minority and low-income Americans rely on nicotine vaping to quit cigarettes.

The @reaganudall audit of @FDATobacco made one thing clear: the agency's attempt at vaping regulation has been a disaster. A group of 23 experts has penned a letter to @DrCaliff_FDA explaining how FDA can right its ship. THREAD 🧵

As usual, @Clive_Bates helpfully clarified the key questions and explained how they should be answered. Let's take these in turn.

Step 1: FDA needs to disincentivize smoking by regulating cigarettes for the harmful products they are. The situation is upside down at present—99.9% of vaping products are illegal, while cigarettes are widely available. Image
