Everyone needs to subscribe to Arielle’s new YouTube channel. Seriously!!!! Clear explanations, proper method-level critique, and actual science instead of press-release panic. If you care about evidence, tobacco harm reduction, and cutting through misinformation, this is

😬 "No organisation has done more to protect the global cigarette trade or to deter people from life-saving changes in the way they use nicotine. Its behaviour is toxic and irrational, and, at least in this field, it is doing far more harm than good. It should cease and desist."

I’ve (finally) started my Substack. The introductory post is an interview with me designed to set out my views and reasoning. Please subscribe (it is free)..

Dr Tedros effortlessly pivots from Sudan’s civil war to taxes on sugar drinks. Classic WHO.

Following passage of the Tobacco & Vapes Bill, there will be consultations on clauses in the bill which threaten effectiveness of less harmful nicotine alternatives to smoking. NNA will advise on these and submit evidence but needs your support. Please consider the option below.

I've written at @Snusforumet on why the incompetent EU Commissioner for Health, @OliverVarhelyi, should be fired because he is not merely wrong. He is dangerous.

Social media is now awash with paid social media influencers and bots claiming "Science has proved vaping causes irreversible lung damage." Their focus is nicotine vaping. None give links to evidence. All tout the "popcorn lung" myth or "EVALI" (caused by illicit THC vapes).

"We estimate that (ecig) flavor restrictions increased cigarette sales by 9.6%." Not the first study to find this substitution effect that likely harms public health. Are those advocating ecig flavor bans okay with this? Davis, Friedman & Pesko (2025). https://t.co/5H9N72EdLI

@Independent This is not “linked to vaping” you #ClickBait-mongers, because there has never been a case of “popcorn lung” caused by vaping in 18 years of use by (now) 120 million adults worldwide.

@WHO

New Substack post cautioning about jumping too far to policy conclusions from observational data: ➡️2 example articles that do this ❌The missing steps that would be needed to support policy rec's ✅What articles should do instead https://t.co/8Y9SxgYUyK

I did not intend to cause a mad scramble within CTP on the weekend before Christmas. I'm glad CTP is authorizing products, even if they claim they aren't.

More and more experts agree nicotine vapes are (a) safer and (b) help people quit smoking. 15-past Presidents of @srntorg https://t.co/XCJ54YjIxk @FDATobacco Director https://t.co/2x8xUOZSQ5 @NIH NIDA Director https://t.co/7boe0B0u6f Fewer & fewer experts advise... (1/2) 👇

YouTube is full of channels about products that it bans or otherwise restricts ads from—guns, cannabis, steroids, gambling, etc. @GrimmGreen covers vaping as a technology product and provides harm-reduction info for 20M U.S. adults who vape. @TeamYouTube, please fix this

The different ways we talk about addiction to caffeine and nicotine "is not science. It is politics dressed up as health." @RogerBate3 at @brownstoneinst

@YouTube this channel helped me quit smoking tobacco in 2017. The entire @GrimmGreen purpose is harm reduction and education; the channel is a massive resource benefiting and bettering public health. Are @YouTubeCreators supposed to have zero recourse on the platform?

Hey, @YouTubeCreators and @TeamYouTube, can we get some hurry sauce on this and appoint an actual body to this case and have a conversation with @GrimmGreen? Grimm helped me on my journey to be smokefree, like tens of thousands of others. After 16 years, is that too much to ask?

Deplatforming one of the most responsible voices in tobacco harm reduction sends a chilling message. Education ≠ promotion. Science ≠ targeting youth. @TeamYouTube, please review this case—fairly and transparently.
