Vape shop owner: I quit smoking thanks to vaping. Banning flavors hurts adults like me
This is from Nick Orlando himself.
“We’ve built a community. Our stores are not just places for people to buy vapor products for recreational use. My stores are educational spaces for adult smokers to feel comfortable visiting and coming in to ask questions and learn how to quit a habit that could kill them…”

American Lung Association’s Lies About E-Cigarettes are Dangerous and Irresponsible
Dr. Siegel once again slaps the stupid out of some strange decision by the Lung Association to… Well, they’re out of ideas, so they’re going all out on propaganda.
American Lung Association’s Lies About E-Cigarettes are Dangerous and Irresponsible
Although Teenagers Are 80% Less Likely to Smoke Than They Were in 1999, the CDC Insists No Progress Has Been Made
Jacob Sullum – explains this no progress thingy much better than I can:
That is true only if you define tobacco-free e-cigarettes as “tobacco products,” which the CDC does, and if you ignore the enormous difference between the hazards of smoking and the hazards of vaping, which the CDC also does.

Kids have been smoking for decades – and “they’ve” been tracking it for decades… I call this one “Read between the lines”…
Tweet(s) of the Week!
This guy… THIS guy. He’s got something to say:
Next — Greg Conley takes an idiot to task, and the idiot tries to ignore it. Something about water…
Next, and importantly, there was some ruckus about a survey this week. Sheila Vakharia PhD MSW clearly explains there are “major issues with how they present their findings” in this thread… you can see them all if you click on the original tweet. (If you’re not on Twitter, join!!!)
Christmas for Massachusetts Vape Families
As with all links for fundraisers over the course of time, if you can, give. If you can’t, share.
Christmas for Massachusetts Vape Families
Grinch Relief Fund.
Same sentiments as just above… if you can, do, if you can’t – share!
Curiosity is the number one reason children try vaping products. Answers for flavors are here.
To keep children safe, we MUST demand to remove curiosity, intrigue, and inquisitiveness from blatant subliminal advertising from any and all non-profit-political-non-governmental-front-groups immediately.
Please, “Think of the children™.”
So that got someone to thinking on Facebook… and said to me – “the curiosity figure is 2.5 times higher than flavours, wouldn’t that be an increase of 151%, roughly?”
Well… there you go. Subliminal messaging: 151% stronger than flavors.
Obsolete tobacco control themes can be hazardous to public health
Skip tossed this one at me just before finishing the news today…
“It is important to make clear distinctions between the classes of tobacco/nicotine products as they differ substantially in risk to the user…”
Are they SO far out of touch with reality they can’t do their jobs, or are they completely in tune to what they’re doing… adults are told they’re addicted to nicotine, and “keep trying” with inefficient products. Kids are blitzed with products they shouldn’t use or have access to… yet here we are.
Obsolete tobacco control themes can be hazardous to public health
Silly thoughts…
Silly question – did U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Secretary Alex Azar (or any other “public health” group in attendance) have advanced knowledge – or withhold information of, this “just released” Tobacco Product Use and Associated Factors Among Middle and High School Students — survey information on November 22nd while discussing trying to manipulate flavor bans in the presence of President Trump?
If any of them already knew it was curiosity, not flavors, that the pesky children chose as an answer… then…. yeah… you think I’m reaching. Understandable, I know – he wasn’t in a court of law… but think about it.
Smoke-Free Radio.
I join Patrick and Fig on Smoke-Free Radio on Friday nights. We were being thankful…and we were saying it… because it isn’t said enough. There were thousands I’m sure we missed — even if you weren’t mentioned by name last week, we thanked you, and people like you.
Fill your tanks, it only the first two hours…
