"In an environment in which individuals who smoke and their health care providers believe that the only acceptable way to stop smoking is to go cold turkey or use FDA-approved cessation medications, many people don’t even try, or give up after repeatedly trying unsuccessfully." "Our field must work directly with people who smoke to correct misinformation about nicotine and help them quit, using whatever tools work best for the individual. Putting the individual’s experience first will not only help them achieve their goals of quitting, but it will also help repair their tattered faith in the health care systems that have failed to support them previously." ~ @cdoug
Cliff Douglas@cdoug

Please see my recent commentary on the urgent need to correct widespread misinformation relating to nicotine and relative risk of different tobacco and nicotine products, where I write: "While the scientific and medical understanding around nicotine is clear, the communication around it isn’t. Many people, including most health professionals, continue to mistakenly believe that nicotine itself causes the terrible health consequences we know come from the burning of tobacco. Many have also been misled to wrongly believe that certain reduced-risk products, such as e-cigarettes, are just as harmful as or even more dangerous than cigarettes, which dissuades many people who smoke from taking critical action that can dramatically reduce their risk." healthaffairs.org/sponsored-cont…

OMG! These are fantastic!
Jeffrey Zamora@jeffzam8

During the @GFNicotine #GFN24, we asked 26 volunteers to pose for a portrait photo; these people have similarities, such as having quit cigarette smoking through harm reduction products and being advocates for vastly safer alternatives to combustible tobacco. We abruptly surprised them during the shoot by offering a couple of cigarettes and photographing them. Some of them were surprised, some were not, and some despised the smell of cigarettes, but all of them expressed that they were not going back to smoking. Harm Reduction products offer a possibility for people unable or unwilling to quit smoking. As known, if you quit smoking before the age of 35, you drastically reduce the chances of suffering a smoking-related disease. So basically, these people are fighting for adults who smoke to have more time, time with their families, time with their loved ones, and time to enjoy their lives. We greatly respect the advocates who give so much of their lives to help others, and we kindly ask again for their forgiveness for putting cigarettes so close to their faces.

Which statement should @FDATobacco lead with when announcing new e-cigarette authorizations: A. There is no safe tobacco product. B. Switching from combustible tobacco products to e-cigarettes can greatly reduce your exposure to harmful or potentially harmful chemicals.

.@elonmusk Every post the @WHO has made about nicotine vaping has received a #communitynote. Is there a status someone achieves after collecting dozens of notes on the same topic? A "most wrong" award or something? because @WHO is going for it.

Surely it’s time more drug harm reduction activists got more involved in also promoting tobacco harm reduction. Lack of official support for THR is a drag on drug harm reduction
Rawg Slinkard@Rawgster

@AlexWodak Ethan rapped up after panel questions with a great consideration. Instead of it just being #THR it should be #HR all inclusive. Every1 involved is Tobacco Control. We are the Harm Reduction TC & they are the abstinence only TC. We are all part of a harm reduction community #GFN24

"I would love to do some work on energy or climate change, but it's so annoying. And [advocacy] must not stop. And that is why CASAA fundraising is so important. You've gotta put a bit of money behind the energy." - @Clive_Bates on @CASAAmedia stream youtube.com/live/B7fH67j7_…
