And as we ourselves reported last year, even FDA scientific staff say that agency leadership is intimidating them and/or forcing them to *alter* their findings and thus reject products that should have been approved -- including menthol products.
As the Reagan-Udall Foundation undertakes its much-needed review of rampant dysfunction at FDA, the agency’s personnel are speaking out – and whey they have to say is shocking. Let’s take a look. THREAD 🚨🔎

After the scathing @reaganudall audit last year, @FDATobacco promised to be more transparent. Is taking nearly two months to answer a simple question part of that "comprehensive 5-year strategic plan" CTP has been carrying on about since February? fda.gov/tobacco-products/ctp…

As you read this thread, remember that Brian King routinely mocks applicants for sending him "a macaroni necklace." teapawt.net/MrToddWages/status/168…

I love seeing lawmakers and politicians say things like "Were using bold, evidence based policy to protect youth from the danger of vaping" But then it's just a bunch of made up bullshit and 480K Americans still die every year from smoking cigarettes.

“We don’t need these products. We don’t want to use these products.” ~ Stacy Gogosian, Truth Initiative No. You don't get to speak for the millions of us who DO need and want these products. What else will "we" not need or want once nicotine is gone? Alcohol? Cannabis? CBD?

Why is vaping a more effective means of helping cigarette users quit smoking? Here's a thread: 1. Vaping is not a simple one size fits all solution, but a highly customized one.

9 million people in America have quit smoking with a vape. At what point does 9 million ex smokers become a data point? – at Los Angeles, CA

To maximize the benefits to public health and advance the economic well-being of consumers, taxes on safer nicotine products should be kept lower than those of combustible cigarettes. @ReasonFdn @gbentley1 reason.org/backgrounder/taxe…

In layman's terms: those who switched to vaping had a SIGNIFICANTLY lower adverse result (40% & 50%) than those who smoked (110% & 100%) compared to never-users & previous smoking was a factor for the vapers. That's compelling "harm reduction" potential! healio.com/news/cardiology/2…

After critics pointed out that the abstract documented lower stroke risk in vapers, AHA pulled the presentation from its conference without explanation.

Much moral panic about youth vaping. But a hard-nosed public health analysis shows it is a mix of experimental, transient and inconsequential OR a diversion from smoking and therefore highly beneficial. Bravo ⁦@ColinMendelsohn⁩ for calling it👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 filtermag.org/youth-vaping/

Funny how @GMA's TV-friendly doctor missed these points.

The silver lining: even though AHA published a document chock-full of prohibitionist tropes, they had to acknowledge the truth about vaping. They're too shy to publicize these key excerpts, so we'll do it for them:

See, we’re gonna deliberate about whether we might start trying to think about the possibility of informing adult smokers of the simple reality that switching to vaping can save their lives. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Vapers! Your question for the weekend: How many times did you try to quit smoking and fail before you found vaping?

Is it time to remove the ‘cigarette’ from ‘e-cigarette’? (The ‘e-’ is a bit old hat too) "Encouraging the public and law-makers to cross this perceptual divide, to acknowledge that nicotine is what it was all about all along (not primarily tobacco), and then in tandem with that to recognise that the delivery system was the problem, and that nicotine itself doesn’t have to be highly risky, remains a major challenge for the sector." ecigintelligence.com/is-it-t…

Hey, @AP, we don't have millions of dollars to give you like @RWJF. But how much would it cost to arrange an AP Fact Focus that corrects all your bunk reporting on vaping? apnews.com/article/tiktok-ch…
