Excellent breakdown of a recent alarmist article claiming switching to vaping doesn't reduce lung cancer risk.
Actually it does, even according to the paper. But the more fundamental issue is that people who quit smoking decades ago have lower lung cancer risk than people who switched to vaping (which necessarily was more recent).
So cancer risk associated with shorter quit duration is being blamed on vaping.

Please allow me to reiterate the significance of this new piece from @gbentley1 in case you didn't believe me 11 hours ago.
You need to know more.

Lifestyle control activists coordinating local bans statewide under the pretense of overwhelming public support "to protect the kids" is Bond villain material. And that's just Massachusetts.

Behind every post in this thread are people, and *known* vape shops that once helped adult smokers find an alternative to combustible cigarettes.
Many owners reported that misinformation surrounding vaping, combined with regulatory pressures, contributed to declining business and eventual closure.
Every closed shop represents lost access, lost jobs, and lost opportunities for smokers looking for another option.
That's why I'm still doing what I do.

What effect does misinformation, burdensome regulations, excessive taxes, and prohibition have on small tobacco harm reduction businesses? I'm going to spend the day building a thread on the topic.

I’m thinking about @SeismicPirate today. I had stopped working on my closure thread because if I didn’t add his, I didn’t have to accept it was real. But for hundreds of us, it has been painfully real. It is time to get back to recording this heartbreaking history.

Imagine - 33 years.
2 packs a day.
Now vaping.
Charlie Sheen says he smoked 2 packs of Marlboro Red soft pack a day for 33 years before switching to vaping
“I do. Well, I smoked. I smoked two packs of Marlboro Red Soft pack for 33 years.”
“Yeah. So I'm kind of using vape I think basically how for the reasons it was invented for.”
“For people that used to smoke and want to feel like they're smoking, like a better solution. It's kind of like how I looked at methadone.”

They didn't stop me! By that time, I had vaped for 6 years. It will be 16 years in August. Vaping was the only thing that finally got me away from tobacco. Adults deserve truth, do better FDA.

State health officials scouted towns, scripted hearings, recruited teen witnesses, and celebrated each ban as a "win."

This video is fascinating but ultimately heartbreaking. After 40 years in major cancer centers, I've seen far too many smokers never make their magic number. Their lives are tragically shortened by obsession with FDA-approved nicotine/tobacco abstinence, which was unachievable.

Hello Senator....
This November it will be 50 years since you were first elected to Congress, so we want to be the first to say .
"Happy 50th Anniversary of drawing a taxpayer funded salary."
That is quite an achievement.
In fact - you are 2nd longest-still serving member in Congress.
It has been a long time since you held a private sector job.
AND yes 50 years ago - in 1976 (it was America's Bicentennial that year) - people still punched clocks back then. The world has changed a lot.
During your 50 years in Congress - you watched as the creators and inventors and producers changed the world, creating trillions in new wealth, millions of new jobs and dramatically raising living standards for everyone rich and poor alike.
And for 50 years you have voted to raise taxes and regulate and oversee every move of the private sector.
You have never created or invented or produced. Just taxed and regulated and outraged.
But thank you for using the platform the "TRILLIONAIRE class" has provided to the entire world for free to tell us all how disgusted you are.
We would never know otherwise.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. While working people struggle to get by, the billionaire class is becoming the TRILLIONAIRE class. It's disgusting. I'm fighting to tax the rich so we stop rewarding trading stocks over punching clocks.

I present to you an education about "deeming" and pre-PMTA from 2⃣0⃣1⃣5⃣:
10 Nov 2015
"They" needed time, since 2009, to conjure up the "nicotine is tobacco" so they could regulate, restrict, tax & ban.

22nd Century Group performed its 6th reverse stock split today.
Theoretically speaking, if you bought ~447 million shares for a cool price of ~$100 million just before July 5th, 2023 and held on to them, you'd own 2 shares today worth ~$13.
