Two years off from running. Travel. Work. Life. Excuses. Today I officially registered for the 2026 @nycmarathon . This year is my comeback. Half marathon first. Strength work. Early mornings. Consistency. I’m 42. I travel for work. I live a full life. If an ordinary guy can rebuild from scratch, anyone can. Lacing up @newbalance like I always do. Follow along — we’re building this in real time. #NYCMarathon #MarathonTraining #ComebackSeason

Good morning! Today I'm deep diving into organizations that support #HarmReduction while opposing #TobaccoHarmReduction. I'll publish my report in the next couple of days. #THRisHR Have a great day! #BeKind #WorldVapeDay #WorldNoTobaccoDay #THRworks #WVD #WNTD

Excited & grateful to join the newest cohort of @InstituteForPR . Looking forward to learning from this group of comms professionals and continuing to grow alongside leaders across industries during such a dynamic moment for our profession. Thank you to IPR for the opportunity!

To my friends in the public health community and the journalists covering them: I respect your political opposition to the president. Yet when his policies are consistent with the science and long- established public health approaches, you owe it to your profession...

Fantastic OpEd: “Policymakers should resist the temptation to talk about flavored nicotine products only in the context of youth use. For many adults who smoke, smoke-free products may be worth considering precisely because they are different from 🚬 .” washingtontimes.com/news/2026/may/…

IQOS is the most popular heated tobacco product (HTP) in the world. Manufacturer Philip Morris International will soon relaunch IQOS in the United States after a long absence. ow.ly/eIL650GmVvg

I'm looking for comments/statements/posts about last week's FDA authorization of 4 flavored vape pods by Glas. I hope to gather a variety of perspectives, which will be posted on a page on my blog. These posts can be made by experts, politicians, organizations, or individuals.

FDA issued a renewal of modified risk granted orders to Philip Morris Products S.A.’s (PMP S.A.) for two IQOS system holders and chargers and three flavors of HeatSticks products. See the products receiving modified risk granted orders: fda.gov/tobacco-produc…

Have we forgotten about the people who smoke? #SeeThePeople forgottensmoker.com

My relatives and friends deserve better. Yours do too. forgottensmoker.com

My grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, friends’ parents — and even me — everyone smoked when I was growing up. It is my older relatives who still do. Quitting hasn’t worked. I wish they received an accurate message from taxpayer funded public health agencies about nicotine

🚨 FDA released the 2025 National Youth Tobacco Survey. Here are the numbers, and it's good news if you don't want kids using nicotine, bad news if you want to try to use kids to justify prohibition: High school past-30-day use: • E-cigarettes: 7.1% • Nicotine pouches: 2.2% • Cigarettes: 1.8% • Any combustible: 3.5% Middle+high combined: • E-cigarettes: 5.2% • Cigarettes: 1.4% • Nicotine pouches: 1.6% Source: 2025 NYTS public use file, FDA. Weighted estimates, n=23,630.

For those that know me — you know that the Middle East has always been a special place having traveled to many of the places in the Gulf. Checked in on friends in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar. All are ok except one that is stuck in Kuwait. Many of the places we visited have been impacted. Really at a loss for words.

@AmericanAir you know I’m a loyal customer and fan but the disorganization at DCA gate E52 for flight 5613 is next level.
