Why are our tax dollars funding health misinformation? @HealthyLivingMo tries to equate vaping with smoking on paid social media. Study from Drexel University finds no harm to bystanders via vapor. Study Link đ https://t.co/MCRzcHIa7q

Government overreach by executive order is wrong. Thank you @JayAshcroftMO for the correct response #MoLeg
@scottfaughn @JayAshcroftMO As a small business owner of Smoke Smart and member of @MSFA_SMOKEFREE I applaud secretary of state @JayAshcroftMO Nobody wants to see minors using these products including responsible small business owners. Legislature needs to draft common sense legislation

Thankfully the Missouri Legislature didnât fall victim to Big Tobacco lobbyists. Iowa has essentially defato banned harm reduction products and increased cigarette sales. #MoLeg #IAlegis #IAgov #iapol #vaping #tobacco
Sorry to report that Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed the PMTA registry bill. Incredibly disappointing move from a governor who should know better.

Missouri sees mirror language in Rep. Roberts HB2211 #MoLeg shouldnât allow Big Tobacco lobbyists to DeFacto ban lower risk vape products.
PMTA registry bills (de facto disposable & synthetic nicotine bans) will have hearings next week in Indiana and Washington. Terrible idea that will lead to enforcement whac-a-mole, the closure of stores, and illicit sales. IN https://t.co/TyBm5LFsij WA

This means that the Biden FDA has found that the marketing of this Vuse tobacco flavored e-cigarette is appropriate for the protection of public health. More to follow?

Our federal government needs to spend less time outlawing flavored vapes and more time outlawing political corruption.

E-cigs are substitutes for actual cigarettes & less harmful. If policymakers are serious about reducing smoking, they need to stop treating e-cigs as though they are as harmful as actual cigarettes: They ought to be taxed & regulated differently. https://t.co/5PnrkjbNmQ

"This tax is not going to deter people from using nicotine, it's just going to turn that person from a vaper back into a smoker," says Gossett. "This tax will not only kill my business, it will kill Americans." https://t.co/wPdZOvG7AV
