@dr_kumararvind @medanta Like this peer-reviewed academic (non-industry) evidence? 1) Cancer risk plummets when smokers switch to e-cigarettes Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk (ELCR) drops >10,000-fold. https://t.co/bpNQQ9rU6P A more conservative estimate found lifetime cancer risk drops 99.5% (0.5% risk

Sharing because this message was hidden. It's not rude or otherwise malicious. It only shares quotes and reference links to where those quotes can be found. You know, like in normal scientific/academic discourse.
@drkaanyl 1/2 1) "all evidence points towards Vitamin E acetate-contaminated illegal tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) vapes as the cause" https://t.co/Ta0ipw0P7u 2) "The outbreak of lung injuries often known as "EVALI" was nothing to do with nicotine vaping" https://t.co/7hXOiYBoEs.

Once something is framed as a moral threat (especially to children "think of the kids!"), normal standards of evidence are suspended. Exaggeration, cherry-picking, and outright fabrication become not just acceptable but obligatory for "the cause." Community notes don't care 👇
This lung damage from e-cigarettes is permanent — and entirely preventable. Flavored e-cigarettes, aggressively marketed with candy-sweet names and bright packaging, are proving far more dangerous than their playful image suggests. A chilling new case underscores the threat: an

This is an EXCELLENT, up-to-date, evidence-based summary of the health effects of nicotine (2 pages +1p of references) and I recommend it to everyone interested in this topic. https://t.co/3MBLwTRkpY

In November, we bring awareness to the leading cause of cancer deaths in Ontario – lung cancer. Last year, I rose in the House to speak on this important topic, and the health risks that vaping can have on young people. Since then, our government has enacted a ban on vaping in

The real merchants of death were in the room at #FCTCCOP11 trying to prevent a billion people having access to products that will radically reduce their disease risks, ignoring the adolescents who take up smoking every day, denying the harmful effects of war-on-drugs

In their frantic opposition to safer forms of nicotine use, the tactics of tobacco control activists seem eerily familiar.
@Clive_Bates @exposetobacco An old evil song of merchants of death clothed in the garments of lies and deception. Their words are flavoured just like the poisons they market. Their sadistic goal is to destroy a whole generation by recruiting young people and children into addiction. Very heartless preditors

This is a very interesting graph of the relative risk of nicotine products according to their delivery system. it is clear to everyone that smoking tobacco yields the greatest risk but for some reason the very low risk of harm of safer nicotine products, such as pouches, snus and

My good friend @phil_w888 posted dozens of studies showing 'flavor' prohibitions increase use of deadly cigarettes, esp. among young adults. (own-goal for Tobacco Control) What about e-cigarette taxes? Coercive taxes imposed to protect teens. Do they? @mikepesko THREAD 👇

American Heart Association, by the way.... where a 70% drop in teen usage rates equals "Growing Crisis"
@AHANewYork Growing means increasing, which means going up in numbers. According to CDC surveys, it is decreasing... so why did you write that? And why are you posting old data? 2019: 5.8% smoked; 27.5% vaped https://t.co/kZsXcOiJoG 2024: 1.7% smoke; 7.8% vape https://t.co/62TIEAggOt
