Trying to quit smoking?

This suggests higher levels of nicotine may help. Fine, read it again, I’ll wait.

“Evidence then emerged that nicotine on its own, outside of tobacco products, has limited addictive potential and that higher doses are safe and well tolerated.”

“Despite this, stop-smoking medications have maintained lower nicotine levels in their products.”

Vaping: Let’s Get This Out Of The Way

With preconceived and one-sided battles across the U.S.A., what myths are still hanging over e-cigarettes? What misinformation is damaging? What do – vapers – know?

We MUST change public perception. We’re almost out of time.

James Jarvis breaks it down in a Facebook post and inspired this blog from me us.

Dr. Gottlieb: A New Threat

Didn’t I just use the words “preconceived” above?

Not necessarily a ‘new threat”, the decision seems – decided. If you recall last summer, almost 70,000 comments were submitted about flavors? While we haven’t heard a word about those (to my knowledge), now the FDA “will issue within a month the guidance implementing the policy steps…”  Um, what?  Huh.

These comments seem to string the public along for what looks like the inevitable.

“…puts the entire opportunity at risk for adult smokers.”

“if these trends don’t reverse sharply and rapidly, I fear the consensus supporting these products for adults will disappear.”

#FDA will issue within a month the guidance implementing the policy steps we announced in November to limit youth access and appeal of these products. But if these trends don’t reverse sharply and rapidly, I fear the consensus supporting these products for adults will disappear.

— Scott Gottlieb, M.D. (@SGottliebFDA) January 11, 2019

Meanwhile, ironically, and speaking of public comments, they want to offer children nicotine via “approved methods”. What say you?
