Donald Trump has been President for 40 minutes and he has not yet saved Flavored Vaping.

@jenvanlaar If it's on big city or nationally syndicated radio and it involves someone being surprised to be on air, it's probably a work. archive.is/2013.04.11-020…

Oof... Listen to his reaction as he reallzes who asked him to call I don't understand people who call in to these shows and think they'll still have any contact with the person the show called. That would be an absolute deal breaker for me

New evidence from the US NSDUH survey showing the same thing: That nicotine consumption overall is stable or slightly decreasing... BUT, people are switching to a less-harmful form of it. samhsa.gov/data/sites/def…

A big thank you to our amazing guest Dr. @ArielleSelya for joining us again to discuss her speech on Ethics & Prohibition in Tobacco Harm Reduction" from GFN26. Also, thank you to @ChaunceyGardner & @RushmoreExt23 and, of course, my co-host Peggy Whitmore. Check out the REPLAY on YouTube: youtube.com/live/bFAbWUMB4…

"As cigarette smoking reaches historic lows in the U.S., new research from MUSC Hollings Cancer Center suggests a fundamental shift in tobacco use is driving that trend. Younger adults are increasingly switching to non-combustible nicotine products..." hollingscancercenter.musc.edu/content-hub/Ne…

@SamsonCorwell @carpenterant0 @SRamirez68083 A very large share of rare books still in copyright have no utility other than as training data or coasters. Nobody needs a 1989 guide to mastering WordPerfect or 140 volumes of a legal journal that are now on Westlaw.

@carpenterant0 @SRamirez68083 They can choose to NOT scan the books.

People think Anthropic are destroying books because they're comically evil and not because copyright law and a judge's bad decision basically force them to.

"Initially I had the same view of non-combustibles products as most Democrats do now. But looking at the science and the public-health concept of harm reduction, I changed my mind."

@dilanesper And I didn't know until now that the guy they later convicted was granted a new trial and then prosecutors decided not to try him again because their lone jailhouse informant turned out to have a lot of credibility issues.

we were obsessed with this before 9/11

@daveweigel Often used phrase in politics!

A "deep throated" SAVE America Act?

@RzbkRedMosquito In her defense, she thought it was a 24 hour movie marathon and not a stand-up comedy show. And aboslutely nobody needs to marathon all of the Police Academy films.

@GregTHR I’ve been a big fan of Sara for many years now, but if she said no to SPACEBALLS 1 and 2? Rethinking my fandom is all I’m saying.

Four hours and no response — she must still be processing her excitement.

Such a great opportunity for healthcare academics! Time is running out! More info at consumerchoicecenter.org/wp-content/upl…

@amandatalks__ I appreciate that she is spiritually at least 65 years old. She is four years older than me and dropping "this internet" and "the gals."

not all midwesterners talk like cringe theater kids

Veteran investigative journalist @MarcGunther examines one of public health's most consequential controversies: why some leading tobacco control organizations continue to resist or fail to accurately communicate the evidence on tobacco harm reduction and the FDA's rigorous review of authorized smoke-free products. Having worked closely with @LungAssociation over many years, I contributed to his investigation not as an adversary, but as someone who deeply respects ALA's mission to prevent lung disease. That's why I'm genuinely puzzled and disappointed by its position. Millions of lives depend on public health policies and communications reflecting the best available science.

Getting rid of some old boxes and found this 2011ish ad from a Chinese company promising a "healthy cigarette." "Very good for health. Also good for family."

The VA need to catch up. The VA needs to reevaluate its tobacco guidelines following the FDA’s recent announcement.  The FDA has been able to break out of the misinformation to provide harm-reduction facts supporting the message that smokers should move from combustible cigarettes to pouches and e-cigarettes. #Vaping #Tobaccoharmreduction #Veterans

VTA’s Executive Director, Tony Abboud, was featured in @TheNVIndy last week. He spoke about Nevada’s proposed cigarette tax increase. "Taxing vapor products at the same rate as cigarettes is a recycled concept that years of science has proven defies common sense and undermines public health."

@RzbkRedMosquito @JeffaStier Patient zero

@JeffaStier The same toxicologist they quote in the article is a self published author on…Zombie Research. share.google/2LW6Io9QfTX4Vn….

There’s no there there. This is muckraker activist pay to play journalism that will dissuade smokers from switching to less harmful alternatives.
