        How about using your bully pulpit to get us a treatment for ALS? Everyone else with any power to help continues to ignore us. Why don't you dare to be different with a disease that we had no choice in, unlike those that choose to smoke or vape?

        I have ALS, my Mom died of ALS. Millions have died from #ALS. Yet it is not an epidemic.. Vaping is an epidemic, but a disease the 500,000 people dx now will die from.

        No teen should use nicotine. But in most (non-wealthy) communities, adults and teens smoke cigarettes. Moving to vaping a public health win that can saves millions. Parts of @Surgeon_General advisory misses this difference and will hurt most communities. For example raising...

        Having began nicotine use at age 10, i can attest to its grip over the developing brain and how it sets stage for addictions. Being free of nicotine at age 40 and beyond, i express gratitude daily. Pledging to keep kids away from #nicotine is wise. (I still miss it 😜😌)

        It was nice to see you try and educate yourself with advocates in the #vape industry by visiting shops, however your fear-mongering agenda seems quite clear now. What a shame to see you drop the ball and completely disregard #HarmReduction
