Fewer adolescents are vaping this year than at any point in the last decade, government officials report, pointing to a shrinking number of high school students who are using fruity, unauthorized e-cigarettes.

Hey @DickDurbin maybe you should retract the amicus brief you and other senators filed with the Supreme Court in the Triton case claiming that there is a youth vaping epidemic. It clearly appears that you are wrong.
Youth e-cigarette use has dropped to its lowest level in a decade according to new 2024 data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS). Additionally, youth use of nicotine pouches remains low. Learn more: https://t.co/DWqglTxlE2

I guess we can stop with the "E-cigarettes are a gateway to smoking" nonsense. With numbers like these, vaping isn't even a gateway to vaping. Current use down from 7.7% to 5.9%. With almost half (44.1%) using less than 5 days a month.
🚨 NYTS 2024 results! 🚨 Youth e-cig use declined again in 2024, to 5.9% who used at all in P30D. This is a >70% decline from the 2019 peak. Youth pouch use remains low (<2% who used at all in P30D) *despite* ⬆️sales (which must be among adults). https://t.co/PHXXswLRDQ

An insightful analysis of modern Tobacco Control ▪️ Demonising smokers ▪️ Financial corruption ▪️ Institutionalised fanaticism ▪️ Junk science ▪️ No accountability ▪️ Manipulating public opinion Retweet if you agree! https://t.co/mV0XsXeBGo

Jacob Grier's The Rediscovery of Tobacco shows how the war on smoking has been built on junk science, class snobbery and plenty of cash.

One of the most powerful commentaries I've read, from one of the most respected academics on tobacco & alcohol. Click the link. Read the post. Kudos @mbsiegel
"cigarettes and e-cigarettes are economic substitutes. This means that e-cigarettes have served as a much lower risk alternative option for youth who most likely otherwise would have smoked cigarettes. And because of this substitution effect, it is very difficult to find a young

Finally a politician that talks sense, thank you.
The Tassie Libs want to make it harder to get a vape in Tas. If you were hanging out for Oct 1 to get a vape without a script - think again. Here's some thoughts on why I back regulation over bans 👇

Such a shame for the rats (they shouldn't vape). Good we don't find that in humans. https://t.co/P6hfrwuOn7

@GarciaBaudritJ @Rawgster @EcigClick @DrShaneRetiMP Worth reading: there is no evidence that vaping is a gateway to smoking just assertions that turn out to not be true.

I like trying to make #harmreduction sound threatening because it weakens the oppositions argument IMO You can’t stop us, we are going to reduce harm everywhere. So many people are going to live it will be bananas. The more you resist, the MORE harm we’re going to reduce.

@UTHealthSPH The researchers found an ASSOCIATION. You do not know the direction of causation. Most likely: young adults with such thoughts are more likely to vape nicotine. Self-medicating to reduce depression and anxiety.

"Misleading and scaremongering references to some of formaldehyde’s many uses expose the vapid nature of anti-vaping activism" - excellent take-down of one of the tobacco control industry's favourite ways of lying to the public at @the_firebreak

The perfect response to those attempting to lie with data.
@ProfGlantz The meta-anallysis found, "Exclusive current e-cigarette use did not show a statistically significant association with CVD odds compared to never use of either." Zero CVD risk for exclusive vapers. That cuts out 36% of all smoking-related deaths right there Stan.
