BRAVE is strongly opposed to “smoking” ban ballot initiative which will ban vaping and sampling in vape shops. m.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2018/… @sarahfenske #stlouis #stcharles #missouri #smokingban #vaping

Thank you @ashley_godwin for removing misinformation from your JUUL story. The most important thing to note is that vapor products are much safer than continuing to smoke. We applaud Missouri DHSS @HealthyLivingMo for recognizing that distinction. #MOleg @AVABoard

Want flavored e-liquid to stay on your local shops shelves? it’s time to act! This is the last day for public comments on the issue so make sure your voice is heard! actnow.io/SaveFlavors actnow.io/SaveFlavors

Missouri department of health should immediately retract.

#juul is a real threat to big tobacco and Pharma sales. Ask @AGIowa #RethinkNicotine twitter.com/geohealthequit…

Smoking rate hits all-time low but activists are trying to reverse the trend by fighting Juul, the e-cigarette that's decimating the tobacco industry. My City Journal piece: city-journal.org/html/juul-labs…

Let’s not forget ridiculous. “knock tobacco out of ballpark“ Smokeless tobacco doesn’t cause harm to bystanders, and vaping doesn’t even have tobacco. Rescind ludicrous ordinance and bring back fans. #vaping #snus #tobacco @LydaKrewson @Cardinals #STLCards twitter.com/alderwomanamyp…

@aatclc Unfortunately it took away the option of vapor products which are 95% less harmful than cigarettes. Flavors play an integral role in people making the switch. #harmreduction

Last night the Richmond City Council voted unanimously to restrict the sale of menthol and flavored tobacco city-wide! Join the fight to make California tobacco-free by 2035. google.com/amp/richmondst…

@AGIowa @FDATobacco Combustibles always create carcinogens no matter how much nicotine is in them

@ARB648 Vaping is now endorsed by the American Cancer Society, Royal College of Physicians, Public Health England and Cancer UK to help smokers quit and reduce their harm

#Bigtobacco uses harm reduction strategy to promote very deadly and dangerous products; & Africa is a major target. #HarmEliminationNotReduction @AfricaNoTobacco @Theatfi @TobaccoMonitor @FCAforTC @ntcanigeria @WHOAFRO @KETCA1 @IsaacFAdewole @Faypumping @SOmiyefa @TobaccoPrev

The @NAPOpolice should encourage comments on FDA docket. Lowering nicotine in cigarettes creates black markets and criminal activity. #tobacco twitter.com/bravemediamo/s…

harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… #MaPoli Good read . . . and thanks to all of you who helped provide the data for this important research. <3 "adults have initiated e-cigarette use with non-tobacco flavors and to have transitioned from tobacco to non-tobacco flavors over time"

"The IQOS heated tobacco product emits substantially lower levels of carbonyls than a commercial tobacco cigarette (Marlboro Red) but higher levels than a Nautilus Mini e-cigarette" by @FarsalinosK ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29920842

@FDATobacco @SGottliebFDA I am not an anecdote. Vaping is the only thing that allowed me to quit smoking for good. I quit with mango papaya. #notananecdote #vapingsavedmylife

FDA is seeking information related to the role that flavors, including menthol, play in tobacco products. Share your input by July 19, 2018. regulations.gov/docket?D=FDA-2…

This destroys the youth-based narrative and political foundations of @FDATobacco’s ‘tough-guy’ stance on vaping. They might be doing harm to youth as well as to adults. And it certainly can’t show it would not cause harm - especially given the rapid declines in youth smoking. 5/7

Unacceptable on what ethical basis? @fdatobacco surely recognises the reality-based world of youth doing risky things, whatever FDA wants? When kids who would otherwise have smoked take to #vaping instead, there is a clear public health benefit. Preventing that causes harm. 1/7 twitter.com/sgottliebfda/s…
