Imagine if Heart Association used the 20 million in donations to fund heart research instead of encouraging adults to smoke cigarettes.

Have you heard of heroin teeth? Well, vapers who use those sickly-sweet flavors may someday also be easily recognized due to excessive tooth decay. https://abc.net.au/news/health/2022-11-24/vaping-teeth-cavities-tooth-decay-dental-health-mouth-microbiome/101679600…
says it will legally bar several vape shops from selling unauthorized e-cigarettes and related accessories. The action follows FDA issuance of 300 warning letters to vaping companies since last year:
“Many of the e-cigarettes on the market right now deliver huge doses of nicotine. Some of them deliver as much nicotine as a pack of 20 cigarettes." https://actionnews5.com/2022/10/11/e-cigarette-use-among-kids-teens-is-an-urgent-problem-organization-says/…
It unwise to promote vaping to a unrestricted audience, since it will encourage people to start smoking and the harm it causes is likely to reduce or nullify its beneficial effect from helping people to quit smoking.
Absolute NL numbers are clear: 3,5x starters than stoppers.
I was encouraged by @US_FDA’s decision last week to ban dangerous vaping products, heeding my long calls & actions to do just that. We must stop this exploitation of kids & teens before the next generation falls victim to another epidemic. twitter.com/FostersDailyDe…
The FDA spent ~22 months reviewing JUULs PMTAs, denied all of them, got sued, and then stayed their own denials, thereby placing the applications back into review. You can’t make this stuff up. https://twitter.com/FDATobacco/status/1544469633956298753…
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday announced it had temporarily suspended its ban on sales of the popular e-cigarette maker Juul. #vaping
BREAKING: Juul Labs says the FDA overlooked a key part of Juul’s application when the agency ordered the e-cigarette maker’s products off the U.S. market, according to court documents.
Kids and families can breathe easier now that the @US_FDA has finally taken this important step toward fulfilling its public health duty under the law. While long overdue, FDA’s announcement to remove all JUUL products from the market is to be commended. twitter.com/ZekeJMiller/st…
"FDA's decision to turn down Juul's application represents the most significant step FDA has taken to reverse the youth e-cigarette epidemic," said Matthew Myers, the president of
The FDA's manufactured reasons for denying the PMTAs are complete nonsense. They authorized IQOS and VLNCs, both of which obviously have worse tox profiles than a Juul.
FDA is also ordering immediate removal of the products. My initial thought is Juul needs to file suit today. https://twitter.com/FDATobacco/status/1539983893947973632…
Replying to @BotwinFredlyn@MikeBloombergand 2 others
Juul is horrid! The aerosol inhaled from e-cigarettes and JUULs is often a mixture of harmful chemicals like nicotine, formaldehyde—which is known to cause cancer—and acrolein—which is used as a weed killer and can cause irreversible lung damage.
Gas is over $5 a gallon, May saw the highest number of illegal border crossers in history, inflation continues to surge, and grocery store shelves are bare.
The Biden Administration's response: Ban Juul's
I think an administrative appeal would be futile and that Juul will file a petition for review (DC Circuit?) in the next couple of days (they have 30 days under the TCA), followed quickly by an emergency stay motion. Only chance of keeping Juul on the market while challenging MDO https://twitter.com/GregTHR/status/1539996050378969090…
Ignoring the political power of millions of adult consumers (see: voters) who made the decision to improve their own health and save their own lives by switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes would be a monumental mistake.
Grover Norquist told me vapers swung Wisconsin for Trump and Ron Johnson in 2016 https://theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/04/grover-norquist-the-happiest-man-in-washington/523206/…
📢CALL TO ACTION📢 1) Comment on the petition asking FDA to use its enforcement discretion to allow continued marketing of products using synthetic nicotine for which PMTA has been submitted and until FDA completes its review. 1/2

Yes. I’ve heard several school officials express concerns not about high schoolers or middle schoolers, but elementary schoolers vaping. With the knowledge of adults/ parents. Crazy.
This was shared with me today.
“A school superintendent in rural IN expressed concern about vaping in their Kindergarten population. The school has attempted parent education but the feedback is that most parents aren’t concerned because they use it to calm their children.”
