"A lot of people still think e-cigarettes are not harmful. But studies show that nicotine is, pound for pound, as addictive as heroin." @Surgeon_General Jerome Adams at #CADCAForum Meet and Greetpic.twitter.com/1NhxnXNdll

Spectacularly misses the point. What is the HARM in being addicted to a clean source of nicotine? Does not intoxicate (may even improve concentration), minimal adverse effects.
Ma’am, my statement & tweet were from a discussion with youth about vaping, for which there IS evidence of addiction, including harm. Biochemical pros and cons aside, the learning environment across our country is being compromised by kids addicted to ecigs. #noEcigs4kids

The fact that ecigs deliver nicotine to an equal or greater extent than even combustible cigarettes (so says industry research), is leading to
dependence (a component of addiction) and in the opinion of communities, is causing significant harm (another component of addiction) -
But nicotine's harms are very small if they even exists at all!https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HqGNzd7MbHuBkkMnXkEIGwM64R-k3FxfRJocdZKlZpY/edit …
