Imagine #PublicHealth spending decades on a public health issue [smoking] with marginal success, only for a consumer-driven solution [vaping] to reduce combustible tobacco faster than ever, and then treating the solution like a crime?

Studies now show people who smoke quit buying cigarettes that are taxed.
Bludn Gore (Supervisor)@Bludn_Gore

Calling critics “useful idiots” does not resolve the contradiction in Simon Chapman’s argument. It merely advertises his reluctance to engage with it. The fall in daily smoking to 5.6% is excellent news. Nobody serious needs to deny that. But the same AIHW survey reports that 34% of people who smoke recently purchased or currently use illicit tobacco, up from 16.7% in 2022–23. The illicit share has more than doubled. Simon’s smug little victory lap relies on a category error. Smoking prevalence measures how many people smoke. Illicit-market prevalence measures where those remaining smokers obtain their tobacco. Smoking can fall while the legal market collapses and organised crime captures a growing share of the smokers who remain. Those outcomes are not contradictory. Nor does one household survey prove that Australia’s prohibitionary policies caused the decline. The survey records changes in behaviour; it does not isolate the effects of pharmacy-only vaping, excise, enforcement, the illicit market, changing social norms or the survey-provider transition. Yet Simon immediately treats a before-and-after association as a personal vindication. His own blog acknowledges that daily vaping barely changed, moving from 3.5% to 3.6%. The decline was concentrated in less frequent use, while daily vaping among 18–24-year-olds remained 8.3%. That is rather less dramatic than the triumphant rhetoric suggests. The honest conclusion is that smoking has fallen while a substantial number of young adults use a non-combustible nicotine product. That is not evidence that vaping has undermined tobacco control. It may be part of the reason combustible smoking is becoming less common. The real denial is pretending that record-low smoking somehow cancels out a black market supplying one-third of smokers, collapsing excise revenue, criminal violence and widespread illegal retailing. It doesn’t. It means Australia has achieved progress on one measure while losing control of another. As I explain in my Substack, public policy cannot be evaluated by selecting the one number that flatters its defenders and mocking anyone who examines the rest of the ledger. Simon may be unable to stop smiling, but personal abuse is not analysis, correlation is not attribution, and 34% illicit use is not a policy success. open.substack.com/pub/09algor/p/…

@Vapingit With my GeekVape MAX100 in hand I went out for a 'smoke' with a mate while we were at the pub the other day. He offered me a cigarette, but I'm like, "Nah mate, I'll never smoke another ciggie"

Truck 🚛 driving buddy calls last night. He's been vaping 12+ years... Says he's not proud of what he's done. I was intrigued. At a truck stop restaurant, other drivers were going out to smoke - He forgot his vape, but they were offering a cigarette 🚬. He declined a few times, decided what the heck. Didn't want to walk to his truck... so he took one hit of a cigarette, and coughed up a lung for five minutes. He said he went to the back of the lot and got his vape. Lesson learned. 😁

BREAKING 🚨 Katie Miller: “When’s the last time you did something extremely ordinary like go to Target or CVS?” Elon Musk: “I can’t go to things where there is the general public because there’s an immediate ‘Can I have a selfie line?’ that forms. And these days in particular, in light of Charlie Kirk’s mu*der there are significant security issues.” 
“It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s that I simply can’t.” Elon should not have to live this way.

I’ll soon be sponsoring a bill to withhold federal money from municipalities and police departments that deploy Flock (and other style) cameras to surveil law abiding citizens.

@Vapingit Have you experimented much with AI? I've noticed ChatGPT often will compose things for a user with a lot of single sentences. It will also use the word "matters" often.

There's this trend on 𝕏. Sentence. Space. Another sentence. I'm not sure where it started or why it exists. Your brain gets curious. You lean in. Then, just as you're interested... 𝕏 cuts you off with "Show more." Congrats. You’ve cracked the algorithm. And annoyed me at the same time.
