          The role taught is to shame and discriminate against tobacco now nicotine users, yet keep them smoking due to dependence on that money. I refuse to play.

          Exactly, we are just doubling down on the old "quit or die" strategy that has failed to help the majority of tobacco smokers. If #vaping has taught us anything, we need new innovative disruptive tech. Each person's quit story is an individual journey.

          "Consequently, it is difficult to make generalizations about efficacy for cessation based on clinical trials involving a particular e-cigarette" So if my nico-patch is blue instead of green, it won't work in the same way and both blue and green patch have to be excluded ?

          You know @Surgeon_General, I’m sure a substantial amount of that 40% could be blamed on faulty reporting and smearing of nic vaping performed by @CDCgov @US_FDA and of course you, especially relating to the lung illness caused by illicit THC products

          Dangers of nicotine? So FDA approved patches, gum, lozenges and inhalers are dangerous for people?? A substance that when separated from a combustible cigarette falls into the same category as caffiene. So when should we expect to see the war on caffiene?

          Isn’t nicotine (NRT) used in smoking cessation? What’s there to protect from that?
