New Substack: FDA guidance on flavored vapes is "untethered from reality."
FDA's proposals exist in an imaginary world untethered from reality-based behaviors, real-world markets, and predictable unintended consequences of excessive regulation

They've known for a decade, Dick.
Politics and nonprofit political front groups have influenced politicians and @FDATobacco far too long.

This is an incredibly important point. I demonstrated the substitution among high schoolers and young adults here: rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.co…. The fact that smoking has almost disappeared is indeed a huge public health victory.

For those inclined to misrepresents this chart and punt a moral panic about the 6.11 million vapers (34%) who have never smoked, please be calm. Most of these are part of a huge win for public health - young adults who would have defaulted to smoking in the absence of vaping.

Stigmatizing vapers, spreading misinformation...
Part 2 of @zaruk's 3-part series on the irrationality of opposition to tobacco #HarmReduction strategies looks at why regulators handcuffed themselves with policies against vaping, snus and nicotine pouches.

You should contact the Mississippi Corrections Commission that has been promoting tobacco harm reduction in its prisons for 4 years: rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.co…
Prison vape bans "are vulnerable because they cost [the state] money, as well as lives," writes @jonmkirkpatrick. But to implement beneficial change, "We must have representation on the outside."
"I’m asking the rest of the THR community to step up."
