Hasn’t everyone who smoked cigarettes quit by now? Since you’re reading this, you probably don’t have a pack in your pocket or purse. It’s likely you count few, if any, smokers among your colleagues. Back in 1965, when 42% of U.S. adults inhaled tobacco, college grads were about as likely to indulge as the less-educated. That’s far from the case today.
In fact, over thirty million of our fellow Americans are still smoking, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Twenty-five of every 200 adults. Why don’t you know them?

On @snusforum, @MarewaGlover says:
"The banning of #nicotine pouches was just insane. According to the data, they represent even less risk than vapes. Why would you ban them if your goal is #harmreduction? Unless your goal is purely to ban #nicotine."https://t.co/gTT3X55sFs

The FDA Is Getting It Right on Youth Vaping.
Time To Do More for Adult Smokers
Dr. Matthew Holman, D.C. Journal
The most recent data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) tell a story that you probably haven’t heard.
Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the 2022 NYTS results, which showed underage e-cigarette use had dropped below the level that led the FDA to declare an “epidemic” in 2018. The data show the epidemic continues to be reversed.

On this Day…2020
Vaping is a gateway out of smoking
Linda Kumar
A 2020 report by an American advocacy group, the Consumer Choice Center, debunks the common belief that “vaping is the gateway to smoking for adults and adolescents.”
Titled “Vaping and the Gateway Myth”, the report highlighted findings that vaping is 95 per cent less harmful than smoking.
Parliament
Dave Cross, Planet of the Vapes
Questions have been asked and answers given about vaping, tobacco harm reduction, and EVALI in the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Importantly, the position of vape shops being forced to close during the second COVID-19 lockdown has been questioned in both Houses although the responses were far from satisfactory.
