    Less harm does not = harmless! Glad to speak w/@SGottliebFDA on the risks of e-cigarette use in kids. These products are harmful to young ppl & can affect learning, attention, & memory. We need to lean in to get e-cigs out of the hands of our children. https://wb.md/2FYPjLp pic.twitter.com/58zYsjwc3X

        Agreed- kids have no business with this...that being said, adults looking to reduce harm and gain tractors quitting cigs need effective access...millions are still dying, remember??

        Sure, Less harm does not = harmless. But i'm guessing you still click that seatbelt every time you drive. Even though it doesn't make driving harmless, but only less harmful.

        Less harm does equal up too 95% less harmful than combustible tobacco. Which is exactly what these kids would be using if vaporizers were not on the market. Also 480,000 adults will die this year from smoking related illnesses. The only epidemic in this country is opioids!

        It's like you missed the whole part where they talk about how the data shows an alarming number of teens will transition to using combustible tobacco after vaping, or that nicotine still has a harmful effect on the developing brain.

        Less harm = less harm. Very few things are actually harmless. We need to stop promoting #ecigs to kids with this orchestrated panic and start telling the truth to smokers.

        Nicotine is famous for improving learning, memory, and attention. But you cynically presume that the masses don't know this, so you can get away with using it to fear-monger them instead! This should be in a textbook of propaganda techniques.
