Today's MUST READ on CDC lies & deceit

[DrMA]

It's hard to pick a passage that accurately captures the spirit of this scathing piece, but this should give you an idea:

«Compare:
Frieden: “We want parents to know that nicotine is dangerous for kids at any age, whether it’s an e-cigarette, hookah, cigarette or cigar.”
Sandman: “We want parents to know that the polio virus is dangerous for kids at any age, whether it’s an oral polio vaccine virus or a wild polio virus.”»​

A Promising Candidate for Most Dangerously Dishonest Public Health News Release of the Year (Peter Sandman column)

Long but I read it and it was worth it. There is sound logic and well informed common sense. I wonder if some people in the FDA will read it.

Most of us started smoking as kids. How come I'm not so worried about the kids vaping? So many sources say nic by itself is so highly addicting. Evidence please? What I'm finding is my craving for nic is weak but it does tell me when to stop vaping. One of the first things I'll do with DIY is try 1.5% because 1.2 seems a bit low and 1.8 is definitely too much.

New studies have show that nicotine by itself is not as addictive as once thought. Maybe the nicotine in cigarettes is more addictive because of something else added to it?
Myself I'm down to .03% after a year.
