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…

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?

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.

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

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
