I've just published four "Evidence Briefs" to support tobacco harm reduction policymaking and advocacy: 1. Safety and risks 2. Impact on smoking 3. Youth 4. Policy considerations https://t.co/GD06UIe6LB Comments and suggestions are welcome.

.@cdoug nails the key issue in the #vaping debate "Our powerful interest in protecting children need not, and should not, impede our moral obligation to address the urgent needs of millions of adults who smoke and are at immediate risk of deadly illness" https://t.co/SvMv9CtYpv

@AlexWodak Well it seems @nhssmokefree find about two thirds stop smoking when they have a viable alternative. Makes sense to get as many people as possible to at least try vaping. Massive savings in cancer treatment and death and misery will result. Meanwhile in Australia…

During the 40 yrs I smoked, never did I worry that cigarettes would be banned. Unbelievable the product that led me to quit smoking by accident is the very product I worry about being banned.

Read this! @Clive_Bates provides a succinct & penetrating analysis of how & why so much purportedly scientific analysis & journalistic coverage of #vaping gets it wrong so often. Shoud be required reading in intro courses on scientific methodology.

@American_Heart 2nd hand smoke increases health risks slightly in non-smokers who LIVE with a SMOKER for DECADES. Smoke lingers in a room 40 min. 2nd hand vapor is well-within OSHA safety limits, and evaporates in 20 seconds. When you lie like this, do you realize you're eroding public trust?

@ParentsvsVape My son is a dentist. After 8yrs of vaping, he says my oral health has never been better. The only thing confirmed is that you're still lying about the most effective and popular means of smoking cessation.

Vaping products are the most popular stop smoking aid in England. However, vaping is often portrayed in a negative way, leading to confusion about its safety. #VapingDemystified provides people with the information needed to make an informed decision 👇 https://t.co/FNQDtKqyrM

To people who used to smoke... How old were you when you quit smoking?

@GrimmGreen The testimonies of individuals are actually some of the strongest, highest resolution evidence. Yet often rejected by pseudoscientists with the cliché “anecdote is not evidence”. But it is. Especially as it triangulates with trials, observation studies, market trends etc.

Happy New year twitterverse! 🎊🎉😊

In UK jails and mental institutions are providing e-cigs for inmates and patients who smoke. #ecigsummit,

Hey kids!! Check it out!! Warheads candy is now a sour beer! In a bright red can? What’s that? Why yes those are flavored vodka ice pops! This isn’t marketing to kids, but JUUL showing a “young adult” vaping.. is. Your hypocrisy is showing @SenatorDurbin

@ADDitudeMag Are you nuts? I smoked for 15 years because it helped me cope with ADHD. Thank God for vaping I can still get the therapeutic effects without all the nasty tar. I no longer cough up grossness every morning.

I’m a 40 year smoker who was told all my smoking life to quit. 6 yrs ago I found flavoured vaping products & quit cigs in 2 wks. Can you explain to me why removing these products is a good idea for ppl who need them to remain cig free? .@jyduclos @Carolyn_Bennett

Professor John Newton, Director of Health Improvement at Public Health England, commented on their new report: “The most important thing is to stop smoking and e-cigarettes can be an effective way to help smokers do that.”
