2/2 #FactCheckMe: Middle & high school “current use” (≥once/month) 2019: 4.5% smoked; 20% vaped nicotine (3.7% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/ss/s… 2025: 1.4% smoke; 5.2% vape nicotine (1.4% daily) fda.gov/media/191376/downloa… tobaccocrst.org/data-briefs

The WHO's numbers don't add up. Teens should not vape, but 15m 13-15 year olds vaping "at least one time in the past 30 days" = 4% of that age group. This implies 1% vape daily. NOT alarming. And their infographic is COMPLETELY IMPLAUSIBLE. Here are the US numbers. #FactCheckMe: Adult current use (daily or some days) Nicotine vaping: Q1 2019: 3.9%; Q4 2024: 8.1% Cigarette use: Q1 2019: 14%; Q4 2024: 9.6% (260m adults, so 21m adults now vape; 25m smoke) wwwn.cdc.gov/NHISDataQueryTo… Middle & high school “current use” (≥once/month) 2019: 4.5% smoked; 20% vaped nicotine (3.7% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/ss/s… 2025: 1.4% smoke; 5.2% vape nicotine (1.4% daily) (27m teens, so 1.4 million teens now vape) fda.gov/media/191376/downloa… tobaccocrst.org/data-briefs

#FactCheck: FALSE. Availability of 'flavored' nicotine vapes skyrocketed over the past 6 years (disposables), and teen nicotine vaping dropped 74% to a 12-year low. Note: Adult vs. teen use is 15-to-1. #FactCheckMe: Adult current use (daily or some days) Nicotine vaping: Q1 2019: 3.9%; Q4 2024: 8.1% Cigarette use: Q1 2019: 14%; Q4 2024: 9.6% (260m adults, so 21m adults now vape; 25m smoke) wwwn.cdc.gov/NHISDataQueryTo… Middle & high school “current use” (≥once/month) 2019: 4.5% smoked; 20% vaped nicotine (3.7% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/ss/s… 2025: 1.4% smoke; 5.2% vape nicotine (1.4% daily) (27m teens, so 1.4 million teens now vape) fda.gov/media/191376/downloa… tobaccocrst.org/data-briefs

In the United States, availability of 'flavored' nicotine vapes SKYROCKETED over the past 6 years (disposables), and teen nicotine vaping dropped 74%.

"it's true. It's true." #factcheckme

It already does. @TeamBachmann you got the documents I sent you back in The day-you asked the questions to @JohnBrennan -now tell the world WHY I sent that to you!! AI drones-that’s is why!!! It was murder! #FactCheckMe #SpecialSpotInHellJustForyouBHOJOB

That ('Twerking') is a gorilla mating ritual. #FactCheckMe

4/12 @MikeBloomberg's very well-funnded health disinformation campaign causes #MoralPanic about teen use of #SaferNicotine vapes. @BloombergDotOrg grantees hide and dismiss what NIH and CDC/FDA surveys actually show. #FactCheckMe: Middle & high school “current use” (≥once/month) 2019: 4.5% smoked; 20% vaped nicotine (3.7% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/ss/s… 2020: 3.5% smoked; 15% vaped nicotine (2.8% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/m… 2021: PANDEMIC 2022: 1.5% smoked; 11% vaped nicotine cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/m… 2023: 1.6% smoked; 7.7% vaped nicotine cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/m… 2024: 1.4% smoked; 5.9% vaped nicotine (1.6% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/m… 2025: 1.4% smoke; 5.2% vape nicotine (1.4% daily) tobaccocrst.org/data-briefs

3/12 In the USA, @BloombergDotOrg spends >$100 million/year on grants to non-profits that misinform the public about TEEN nicotine vaping. They *push* demonstrably false claims such as: - "they target teens" - "gateway to smoking" - "whole new generation addicted" #FactCheckMe: Adult current use (daily or some days) Nicotine vaping: Q1 2019: 3.9%; Q4 2024: 8.1% (260m adults) wwwn.cdc.gov/NHISDataQueryTo… Middle & high school “current use” (≥once/month) 2019: 4.5% smoked; 20% vaped (3.7% vaped daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/ss/s… 2025: 1.4% smoke; 5.2% vape (1.4% vape daily) (27m teens) fda.gov/media/191376/downloa…

Suggestion: Tell the public what CDC/FDA surveys actually show. Ask your staff to #FactCheck. This graph IS correct. #FactCheckMe: Adult current use (daily or some days) Nicotine vaping: Q1 2019: 3.9%; Q4 2024: 8.1% wwwn.cdc.gov/NHISDataQueryTo… Middle & high school “current use” (≥once/month) 2019: 4.5% smoked; 20% vaped (3.7% vaped daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/ss/s… 2025: 1.4% smoke; 5.2% vape (1.4% vape daily) fda.gov/media/191376/downloa…

The Pope and the Vatican are protected by two miles of forty foot high walls because Muslims invaded, ransacked, accosted, and stole valuable from the Vatican. But you are supposed to bring them home to rape and pillage and destroy western civilization because Obama told him to say so. #FactCheckMe

There are 2 miles of 40 foot walls surrounding his home. Why? Because the Vatican was invaded and looted by Muslims. Not once, but twice. But he wants you, without any walls, to welcome them in to your home. Now is that, Hypocritical? Ironic? Demonic? #FactCheckMe.

FYI: Health Economists have looked at the outcomes of 'flavored' nicotine vape bans in 100s of US localities and seven states, as well as Canadian provinces. The outcome is always: - somewhat lower teen vaping - an increase in deadly cigarette sales Cigarettes KILL PEOPLE #FactCheckMe: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… harmreductionjournal.biomedc… urmc.rochester.edu/news/stor… tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/conte… papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… academic.oup.com/ntr/article… academic.oup.com/ntr/advance… montreal.citynews.ca/2024/10… jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4134… papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.… ideas.repec.org//p/umc/wpape…

Multi-year funding in OBBBA gave supplemental funding to ICE / CBP (tens of billions for operations, enforcement, detention, and border security). Not tied to annual appropriations. CBP diverted funds to pay over 57,600 employees leaving only ~5,600) working unpaid. #FactCheckMe

You forgot to mention that US teen nicotine vaping dropped 74% over the past six years to a 12-year low. #FactCheckMe: Middle & high school “current use” (≥once/month) 2019: 4.5% smoked; 20% vaped nicotine (3.7% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/ss/s… 2020: 3.5% smoked; 15% vaped nicotine (2.8% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/m… 2021: PANDEMIC 2022: 1.5% smoked; 11% vaped nicotine cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/m… 2023: 1.6% smoked; 7.7% vaped nicotine cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/m… 2024: 1.4% smoked; 5.9% vaped nicotine (1.6% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/m… 2025: 1.4% smoke; 5.2% vape nicotine (1.4% daily) fda.gov/media/191376/downloa…

Thousands of people like him are currently employed to misinform the public about what @CDCgov surveys actually show. Those survey reports are all public and easy to #FactCheck. Few bother to do that. I do. Teens should not vape, but this is NOT alarming. #FactCheckMe: Middle & high school “current use” (≥once/month) 2019: 4.5% smoked; 20% vaped nicotine (3.7% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/ss/s… 2020: 3.5% smoked; 15% vaped nicotine (2.8% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/m… 2021: PANDEMIC 2022: 1.5% smoked; 11% vaped nicotine cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/m… 2023: 1.6% smoked; 7.7% vaped nicotine cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/m… 2024: 1.4% smoked; 5.9% vaped nicotine (1.6% daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/m… 2025: 1.4% smoke; 5.2% vape nicotine (1.4% daily) fda.gov/media/191376/downloa…

Teen vaping has dropped 74% to a 12-year low. Teen smoking is now near nil. Adult smoking has dropped to a 100-year low. @CDCgov COULD tell the public this good news. It's their surveys. At the moment is seems there is a conspiracy of silence in public health about this... #FactCheckMe: Adult current use (daily or some days) wwwn.cdc.gov/NHISDataQueryTo… Middle & high school “current use” (≥once/month) 2019: 4.5% smoked; 20% vaped nicotine (3.7% vaped daily) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/ss/s… 2025: 1.4% smoke; 5.2% vape nicotine (1.4% vape daily) fda.gov/media/191376/downloa…
