This is an incredibly important point. I demonstrated the substitution among high schoolers and young adults here: rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.com/2024/11/smokin…. The fact that smoking has almost disappeared is indeed a huge public health victory.

@BradRodu @PostOpinions @DrLeanaWenMD For those inclined to misrepresents this chart and punt a moral panic about the 6.11 million vapers (34%) who have never smoked, please be calm. Most of these are part of a huge win for public health - young adults who would have defaulted to smoking in the absence of vaping.

You should contact the Mississippi Corrections Commission that has been promoting tobacco harm reduction in its prisons for 4 years: rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.com/2021/01/missis…
