Me: I got on a proper podcast to talk about a future where people who want or need nicotine don't lose years of life because of how they consume it!!

This week on the inaugural episode of The @SmokelessWord: Live from the Lab, Dr James Murphy and @jgitchell, CEO of Pinney Associates, on how to accelerate the migration of adult smokers who would otherwise continue smoking completely to smokeless alternatives.

I humble-bragged about two papers:

Relative risk perceptions:

And I expressed big and well-earned ❤️ to @foodanddruglaw for their commitment to being a trusted convener.
Yes, that is a @RAYGUNshirts "Be A Helper" shirt under my buttondown. Natch.
And I do expect teasing for invoking the Phial of Galadriel towards the end!

No apologies and thank you for seeking clarification.

I am embarrassed not to have watched this @TEDTalks before now.
@JonHaidt has cited this, but OMG is it worth your time to take in full throttle.
Let's get less wrong, together.

Have any of these nicotine prohibitionists ever checked in on how the actual War on Drugs is going? In short, the drugs are winning.
Especially in Palau. Cannabis is illegal there but it has one of the highest usage rates in the world. Good luck enforcing a ban on nicotine.

Yes, there's plenty of bad news in the world. But there are a lot of positive trends that don't get the coverage they should. The media isn't very interested in stories that don't advance activist causes, I argue in @WSJFreeEx today: "An atmosphere of perpetual crisis helps justify radical policies." [link below]

Treat yerself to this interview.

I really enjoyed this interview with Jamin Coller on his "If I'm Really Honest" podcast. Among many other topics, we discussed the deep (social) reasons our faces are so distinctive and why they do not look like our elbows. ;-)

Thank you @imaracingmom and everyone else for helping me with this article:
"There is no smoking-cessation help available in the five-county area that I live in."
Rural residents are much less likely to quit than city-dwellers. Complex factors are behind this disparity, so ending it won't be easy, reports @KiranSidhu51:
