Youth who use nicotine have rights. Stop punishing them.

I cannot break my VITN tradition, I’ve seen Michael McGrady, and so shall you.

I will preface this article with my now age-old (pun intended) and thoughtful question: At what age is a smoker considered a “smoker”, and display one of my favoritest tweets ever:

You can choose to disagree if you like.

There’s a right way and a wrong way to “Ditch JUUL”

Speaking of teens…. this is from the MN Smoke Free Alliance. It is not only an articulate and precise way to educate ~~children~~ the adults in the education, “control”, parenting, and industry spaces, it is one of the best “wish I’d have written this” documents I’ve seen.

There’s a right way and a wrong way to “Ditch JUUL”

Vape Ban – More Losers Than Winners

Speaking of teens…. they are included in this piece. If you’re going to talk about, and the genuine goal is harm reduction – directly or indirectly, you will include teens in the conversation.

Lungs ‘magically’ heal damage from smoking

Because Robert Innes pointed this article out to me, I’m quoting Mr. Innes here, he has a better foreword to the article than I:

“So much for the argument that, “we should only breathe clean, fresh air” and that our lungs are delicate. It would seem that our lungs are smarter at looking after themselves than the World Health Organisation FCTC and the doomsayers who claim DNA damage from vaping.”

The Surgeon General’s Bogus Report on Smoking Cessation

Recall my friend, Jerry wants smokers to quit – and admittedly doesn’t understand why… he claimed “I didn’t even know until this report came out that you can add as much as 10 years — a decade — to your life expectancy by quitting smoking…” in his speech last week.

Speaking of fraud, Dr. Rodu takes Jerry’s “report” to task.

They ALL lied ~ Peddlers of Ignorance ~ US Surgeon General is an educated idiot ~ The “Vape Apocalypse” is still the law. Only legislation can change that ~ Will Trump Stop the FDA’s May 11 Vape Apocalypse? ~ Azar Promises Streamlined PMTA Approval for Small Vape Businesses ~ Where Did Underage Vapers Get E-Cigs ~ WHO Vape Report Misleading ~ E-cigarettes: how risky are they?

They ALL lied

“No compound that could be linked to EVALI was found in the two nicotine products tested.“

“Our laboratory was the first to identify vitamin E acetate in vaporizer fluids recovered from pulmonary injury patients, which we promptly reported to officials of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and public health officials from numerous states via conference call and via e-mail on August 19, 2019…”

Authorities were aware of the true cause of CALIE (#CDC-associated lung injury epidemic) as early as August. Then they spent 6 months spinning it into a hate frenzy against the #harmless #vaping alternative to #smoking https://t.co/at2JsjHf5E
— Dr. Johnny Twovapes, VBOSB (@mihotep) January 25, 2020

Leafly covered this in September. We ALL know they ALL lied, since at LEAST August. EVALI shall now be renamed as CALIE. (#CDC-associated lung injury epidemic) (CALIE) is ™,©, and ® via @mihotep, 2020.

Peddlers of Ignorance

Robert Innes takes on the idiots at the World Health Organization and has a twist on the “ENDS” acronym I have hated the moment I saw it.

Peddlers of Ignorance

US Surgeon General is an educated idiot

I do like to keep you informed, but please, do not read this on an empty stomach.

As the latest report on smoking in the U.S. was written, vetted, and phamaceutically (yes I made that up) approved, the idiot wasted no time in a speech covering the report he didn’t write by exclaiming – or explaining – jury’s still out – to the country:

“I didn’t even know until this report came out that you can add as much as 10 years — a decade — to your life expectancy by quitting smoking,” he said.

Here’s his speech in writing:

US Surgeon General is an educated idiot

Bonus idiot alert:

I’ve asked this a gazillion times: At what age is a “smoker” considered a “smoker”? (I was 9 when I started, by 11 or so I was pretty well set in my ways… )

By Jerry’s standards, “teens” who quit smoking (with vaping or any other product) is beneficial regardless of how long they’ve smoked, or their age.

Please note my response to the idiots tweet, and of course, Dr. Sheila Vakharia’s as well.

Where Did Underage Vapers Get E-Cigs

I stole this one directly from our friends at Vapers.org.UK…. and I should not have to type Dr. RODU’s name more than once, but I will… (are you new here)?

“Unsurprisingly, underage teen vapers were mainly motivated by curiosity (50%). That may be a response to the FDA’s poorly crafted vaping epidemic ad campaign………….”

Examining the relationship of vaping to smoking initiation among US youth and young adults: a reality check

Understanding in 2014 there was no “gateway“, this where the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and Truth Initiative realized the 20% fulfillment rate of recruiting new smokers wasn’t working out so well for them – so they created a an “epidemic” and a “new” “problem”.

“There was a substantial increase in youth vaping prevalence beginning in about 2014. Time trend analyses showed that the decline in past 30-day smoking prevalence accelerated by two to four times after 2014.”

Bloomberg Grant ~ Sources of youth access to JUUL vaping products in the United States ~ FDA faces fire from researchers saying it has not prioritized e-cigarette testing ~ Tweet of the Week ~ Truth Initiative Logo ~ NYC Flavor Ban Passes as Vapers Throw Money at the Council ~ Grinch Relief Fund ~ CPSC Will Go After Vape Shops That Violate Bottle Rules ~ Harm Reduction ~ End The Lies

Bloomberg Grant

Fine, the actual title isn’t “Bloomberg Grant”. By giving the CDC Foundation (not the CDC itself – see 3rd question here) some money… that the title I chose, and the “upstanding purpose” he’s trying to (legally) hide behind, are both misleading.

“the CDC Foundation received a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies to monitor and evaluate e-cigarette use”

Sources of youth access to JUUL vaping products in the United States

“Youth sources of access to JUUL vaping products appear to mirror youth sources of access to other tobacco products.”

“By comparison, 20.0% [95% CI = 18.0–22.0%) of current users bought JUUL products themselves.”

Few like that I mention the Synar Amendment (link) over and again for a reason.

So…you may notice I mention (among other things) the Synar Amendment (over and again) for another reason:

Why? Because 20% failure rates embedded in the Synar Amendment are👉 as designed & desired. Like with cigarettes 👈.

Anyone heard compelling demands to tighten existing laws from any public health groups yet?

To ban vaping is a premature reaction. Banning vape flavors would close down viable small businesses in our state. The issue at hand is not vaping; the deaths that we’ve seen recently have everything to do with what alternative substances people are putting inside vape pens.

Vaping Industry Defends Right To Use Legal Products

No stranger to media, James Jarvis is in this most recent video:

Vaping Industry Defends Right To Use Legal Products

#QuitLYING #EndTheLies, American Heart Association

Unhappy with the lowest smoking rates ever, The American Heart Association – a non-governmental organization has decided they want to use the hashtags “#quitlying” and “#endthelies” on Twitter to accompany their use of the 1st Amendment to claims of “Big Vape“, to:

Gaslight the public
Strongarm small businesses
Use children to manipulate laws
Use political pressure to restrict adult choice

Who, or what, is next?

Someone tell Nancy she’s making this very easy for me…

I'm committed to a sincere effort to endorse this #QuitLying #EndTheLies cause.

I'm excited to invite @American_Heart & @NancyAtHeart to take a look at my #consumer blog to advise me on how it can be improved.

Because I'm here to help.

Vape ban Violators face fines, loss of cars

They must have forgotten the Boston Tea Party. So, under this bill – you could face $5,000 for a first offense and up to $25,000 for multiple violations. The provisions allow police to seize untaxed vaping products as well as a “motor vehicle, boat or airplane……….. another example of lawmakers demanding everything up front – and settling for “less”, but even I can’t believe my eyes.

Because freedom isn’t free.

With this next one, I want you to highlight a couple things. Data is still data. Individuals are still, like when I did my survey, determined – in any way they can, to not let the government lie. Here’s another place to go…

Vape Ban Could Swing Election Against Trump

I’m not sure how President Trump will understand the basis of his decision allowing appointed staff to lie to him may just be the basis of his demise. Remember how shocked “everyone” was when he was elected… who will be stunned in #election2020?

I’ll be telling him with a bunch of friends next Saturday, November 9th, in Washington, D.C..

Speaking of surveys.

Reports Say White House Will Ban Flavors Next Week

Well…. I have a silly question:

Was this a predetermined outcome to ban a less harmful alternative to #smoking from @SecAzar from September 11th?

Jim explains below.

Reports Say White House Will Ban Flavors Next Week

I will be in Washington, D.C. next week and will not be publishing my weekly news….. If you are planning on attending what will be a historic rally in Washington on November 9th, I hope to see you and find each other there!

Outrageous Nicotine Tax Bill Passes House Committee

Pavlov’s dog… DING. I’ve been predicting this for SOME time. Vaping products are a replacement for tobacco. They are NOT a replacement for tobacco taxes. Well, regulate, restrict, TAX, and ban.

Outrageous Nicotine Tax Bill Passes House Committee

EVALI and risk communication, explained

VITN rules apply:

“There are principles of good public health practice and there are tactics by which science and the credibility of government bodies are undermined,” he added. “The CDC needs to think hard about why, in their current course of action, they are choosing the latter.”

EVALI and risk communication, explained

FDA Awards “Modified Risk” Status to General Brand Snus Products from Swedish Match

Snus, Kevin? You’re linking this? Yes. LESS harmful. Period.

Dr. Rodu explains: “It took the FDA over five years (during which 2.56 million American smokers died prematurely) to approve this truthful statement that I have documented for 25 years.” -Dr. Rodu takes this from here.

Vaping Twitter Bot Study is Dehumanizing Propaganda

Editor note: I was one of five accused (“Account 3”) of being a bot. Now, that may sound trivial – but I (yeah, me) am described as “creating and releasing false information”, I am “particularly malicious”, and, according to @JoeSmyser @DrArturoNJ @NicholsonForNJ @PublicGoodProj @WSJ @EnergyCommerce, I am “actively involved in misinformation campaigns“.

Think of the underLYING motive for tax dollars wasted while Congress investigates whether I, and four others, of millions of accounts, are “bots” – accused of targeting underage kids. Breaking the law. Really? All this – to manipulate public opinion. What ELSE are they doing this with?

This is the foundation that funded the junk study accusing @Vaping360 @Vapingit @mihotep
and @benoit_durand of being bot accounts. @PublicGoodProj actually did the study. Both orgs are making self-righteous statements about it. https://t.co/CakoIPLZVA

Yes, I’m angry. I’m very angry. But, it is much bigger than myself, or the others above. This IS defamation of character to ALL of us and describes this blog, your tweets, thoughts, any research you and I see performed, explained, and then shared – and very existence of US is described – minimized at best, and meaningless – not worth the attention of anyone’s time.

The original report is linked within by Vaping 360 and guest writer, Amelia Howard did a wonderful job explaining this.
