Comrades, this work is outstanding. Everyone with an interest in public health needs to see it. Rigorous, accessible, sourced.

Excellent work on the supposed gateway from vaping to smoking. Not if you do the science properly. Pr . B Dautzenberg 👏🏽

The RCGP authors tried (successfully) to have an earlier version removed from @[email protected], so Clive Bates wrote up a more thorough review on Qeios and posted a short summary and link on PubPeer.

EU Commission seems to want to use the WHO to enforce a ban on nicotine pouches. This without having sought an opinion from the European Parliament . Unacceptable. In a written question I have asked the Commission to explain itself. Story by Clive Bates

My opinions on vaping, nicotine, tobacco control etc.

Charles A. Gardner, PhD Clive Bates Yup. The attacks on vaping right from the start also arose from the jealousy of the anti-smoking activists. It did more in just a few years than they managed throughout their entire careers.

Clive Bates Louise It's so upsetting. We are increasingly hearing of HCPs giving scary advice that vaping us as bad as smoking, putting people off switching.

Justifiably exasperated Louise👇🏽. The public health hysteria complex (academics, medics, media, politicians, activists) prefers moralising outrage to pragmatic solutions to entrenched problems. Doing endless harm.

Real people. Real Stories.

'Anecdote' #13,532:
Thirty-eight year old James had smoked for 22 years and his health was rapidly declining. Just 2 months after ending up in the hospital, vaping changed his life for the better.

This is a strong point from Jonathan Foulds PhD 👇🏽

The main reason these studies are done or published is to imply causation. In that sense, they are a negative scientific effort: the generation of spurious false-positives.

#TypeIerror

Cigarettes delivering 7,000+ chemicals to remain legal, while clean nicotine alternatives to be banned. Unadulerated insanity or sheer corruption?

Curious about vaping vs. smoking?

Vaping is a fantastic tool for adult smokers to use during their quit journey. While cigarettes contain tar and deadly toxins, vapes only produce vapour with nicotine and flavourings.

Having carefully assessed the lethal consequences of the unjustifiable snus ban and the failure to reverse it in the face of overwhelming evidence, the European Union is now considering whether to repeat the error by banning nicotine pouches. EU Health - #HealthUnion has lost the plot.
