You said you didn't want your friends & family to die early, you wanted to help them quit smoking.

You found a tool that could help.

You were called crazy, naive, misinformed, wrong...accused of targeting kids & even working for Big Tobacco. Meanwhile, your friends & family continued to die early from lung cancer, COPD, heart disease, & strokes. They believed the fear, uncertainty, & doubt being promoted by threatened interest groups who were using this as a fundraising tool to raise hundreds of millions of dollars.

10) Why is anyone surprised that JUUL can survive without flavors for six months? They have billions of dollars. Why is nobody addressing that the majority of youth use is with JUUL products, which now has no flavors on the market? Why distract away from opioids, obesity, alcohol, meth, cigarettes, etc? Aren’t those the real epidemics we should be talking about? Is this diversion biased by funding?

14) Why weren’t any people who smoke cigarettes invited to this meeting? What about neutral young people? Doesn’t their voice matter?

We’d love answers below. 13) Why do the health activists say there is no increase in adults using nicotine vapor products? There are 40,000,000 adults worldwide using this technology. The majority formerly smoked cigarettes.
