Medical professionals warn tobacco addiction is rising after years of decline and call for reforms on political donations and corporate sponsorships
Pick a definition of youth vaping based on CDC data:
epidemic
/epəˈdemik/
noun
a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time
fad
/fad/
noun
an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived
Also note ALL "tobacco" use (which includes vaping) is SIGNIFICANTLY lower today (12.6%) than what just cigarette smoking was in 2009 (17.2%).
Can it really still be argued vaping is "reversing gains made in reducing youth tobacco use" or that it's a "gateway to smoking?"
This chart is based on CDC reports of the National Youth Tobacco Surveys (NYTS). The 2023 report was released November 2nd.
Despite flavors, disposables, etc., youth vaping AND smoking are DOWN.
NOW can we finally focus on saving the lives of millions of ADULTS who still smoke and stop trying to ban the products that adult vapers prefer?

How delusional must one be to claim banning the sale of 99.9% of low risk #vaping products "protects public safety" while also knowing that deadly CIGARETTES are sold everywhere and illicit markets exist?

Shelves emptied of popular vape products as new state law goes into effect
A lawsuit was filed this week seeking to block the implementation of a new state law that requires all vape products sold in Louisiana to be FDA-approved, with vaping advocates warning it is already effectively ending the sale of a number of popular vapes.
No, News Nation, a decline from 14.1% to 10% is a drop of 4.1 PERCENTAGE POINTS, not a 4% drop. 
In 2022, 2.14 million (14.1%) high schoolers vaped at least one puff in the past 30 days. That dropped to 1.56 million (10%) in 2023, which is actually a substantial 27.1% drop.

This is very MISLEADING, because the 460,000 deaths from "tobacco use" all involved exposure to SMOKE. It's NOT from the nicotine, so teens using nicotine vapor products INSTEAD of smoking aren’t going to add to those deaths.
This is like stating there were 26,000 deaths from "vehicle use" without revealing that they also involved alcohol, speeding and/or distracted driving.

When experts in THR debunked his "science," it's very telling that Stan could only attack the researchers' motive rather than argue their science. His comment was removed (it was #4) by moderators, likely because it had "no significant bearing on the science." Classic Glantz.

- Nearly 4 years into federal flavor ban on cartridge-based e-cigs
- TOTAL flavor bans in some states and municipalities
- Lawmakers, public health orgs and state AGs screaming to have total ban NATIONWIDE

The shift from smoking to vaping is indisputably an improvement in terms of health risks, so making e-cigarettes less attractive to people who currently or formerly smoked is detrimental.

“The ultimate goal of tobacco harm reduction consumer advocacy organisations is to ensure continued access for themselves and others to the safer nicotine products that have helped them quit smoking. They are fragile grassroots groups that are overstretched and under-resourced but have huge potential.”
