Hell will freeze over before I will spend a single cent on the Hale. As long as you consume nicotine, you are smoking, the CEO claims. This guy is worse than Glantz & Chapman together. #vaping #ecig https://t.co/CrYSvDAetp

Nicotine vaping devices are a disruptive technology that forever changed the prospects for cigarette smokers who want to quit. But success comes at a price and for the vaping industry that price is...

I was asked for an English translation of my book on e-cigs that was recently released. The publisher is interested but needs a path for distribution in UK/USA. If anybody knows a publisher who might be interested in a deal, please let us know. https://t.co/4zcrOpdRG9

WHO re-affirms that there is no scientific evidence that using parachutes is safer than using feathers in a free-fall (or that the vastly lower-risk IQOS is safer than a cig)... Countries that have banned IQOS are asked to keep protecting tobacco cig sales

A miracle happened: After 7 months (!) of investigation JAHA retracted a junk paper published by Stanton Glantz, one out of dozens that would deserve it. Further damage to the reputation of this tobacco control charlatan. Many thanks to @BradRodu for expert data analysis.

It is worth checking the history that led to the JAHA retraction on e-cigs causing heart attacks. Congrats to @BradRodu for being the first to notice the problems and present the case.

Many market analysts (who are paid to be correct on the market), are saying the attacks on e-cigs (implying e-cigs caused EVALI, denying e-cigs help smokers quit, denying e-cigs less harmful than cigarettes), are leading to recovery in cigarette sales. P.H. Own Goal.

Junk science at Rutgers - researchers testing e-cigarettes have no clue what they are actually doing. A vape shop owner explains a lab member the essential role of airflow. 🤣 #rutgers #vaping https://t.co/Di8PI0mivE

Dr. Relucio is absolutely right! The combustion of e-liquid is certainly dangerous, and so is the smoking of e-cigarettes. Therefore I strongly recommend vaping instead of smoking. This talk is a masterpiece, gallons of bs in less than 2 min.

This kind of propaganda fuels distrust of experts and provides a spawning ground for conspiracy theorists such as anti-vaccine movements. The damage it does goes far beyond tobacco control and e-cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are harmful to health and are not safe. They are particularly risky when used by adolescents. Nicotine is highly addictive & young people’s brains develop up to their mid-twenties. Exposure to nicotine can have long-lasting, damaging effects. https://t.co/S8ZHoux45e
