They call us “Big Vape” now. If that means:. Big on harm reduction.Big on saving lives.Big on adult choice.Big on killing the war on drugs.Big on activism.Big on giving correct info.Big on saving small business . Then I’ll own it. The anti-vape crowd needs to #QuitLying.

@kevinbaker One of the most valuable lessons learned at school is how to understand and communicate with other people. Especially those different from you. Sending kids to an insulated school where everyone is the same is a disservice to them and limits their career choices.

Why do they hate us? . Cause we made harm reduction enjoyable. A hobby. Cool gadgets. Variety. Flavors. It wasn’t clinical enough for them. Ironically, the fun, hobbyist aspect of it led to even more smokers quitting long term which made it more effective harm reduction.

Let’s take a step back. We are living in a time where vapeable nicotine and cannabis are being banned. Combustible nicotine and cannabis get to stay on the market. Black market products caused these lung illnesses, so we create more black markets. Welcome to idiocracy.

If the flavor ban is finalized this week, don’t freak out. There will be a process here and fda will rely on fear because they don’t have the enforcement power to be effective. Expect lawsuits, loopholes, and all kinds of wild stuff. Your products won’t be gone overnight.

Unfortunately, there’s a good chance we see a lot more lung illnesses and death before it gets better. CDC needs to be held accountable. It’s pretty bad when independent doctors, journalists, and citizens can easily point out patterns but yet gov drags their feet for weeks.

When Cuomo said “Is vaping better than smoking? Technically yes. But, so what?”, this brought us into a new era. Big names are now willing to admit the public health benefits, but they’re also willing to disregard it.

From what I remember, lung illness stories started about 2 months ago. 80,000 smokers have died in that span. People will go back to smoking or continue smoking because this problem has been reported incorrectly and only a fraction know the deaths are from black market thc.

Before the age of the internet, it would have been so easy to completely kill vaping. Now that we have access to science, community, DIY, and other things, it’s never going away. They can slow it down but it’s not gonna die.

It is truly heartbreaking to see posts from vapor companies that they’re shutting down shop. Majority of these people are ex-smokers that started a small business to help others quit smoking the way they did. These are middle class people and not “Big Vape”.

Vanessa went to the dentist today. He started up some small talk about how all the kids are vaping and how it can wreck your oral health. He told her that her teeth and oral health are perfect, not knowing that she’s vaped for over 6 years😂.

Many vape shops have closed their doors in the last few weeks. Sales have been down up to 75% because of the lung illness scare. Many consumers went back to smoking. Besides the bans, there were some serious consequences to @CDCgov dragging their feet and media aiding them.

States like MA, MT and others did these temporary bans so we could “get to the bottom of it”. They used teen use as a side excuse too, but that’s not enough excuse for an emergency action. After the CDC’s announcement today, this seems like enough to lift their illegal bans.

4 states have made bans targeted at legal vaping products. These bans do nothing to address the problem with lung illnesses. Just now does the CDC start pointing toward blackmarket THC oil, weeks after FDA did. I hope the media smells the stink on this story as much as I do.

I can confirm these are real emails. This is how “war on drugs” ads are cooked up. Montana had some meth ads like this a few years back and they got hammered for it cause meth use went up afterwards. Sensationalized, fear mongering PSA campaigns DO NOT WORK.

We didn’t make vaping a political issue. Politicians, health lobby, and media did. So vapers built a community to fight against the War on Drugs #vapebans and that’s why we use the #WeVapeWeVote tag. Half a million smokers died this year, but feel free to mock us all you want.

In my opinion, it’s short sighted to use whataboutisms and throw other drugs under the bus when arguing for vaping. Cannabis should be legal and is used as harm reduction by many people. Don’t promote prohibition when it sounds good, and fight it when it comes to vaping.

Hey @OregonGovBrown, you have thousands of ex-smokers who vape nicotine in your state. Are you really going to ban products that add years to their lives when all the illnesses originated from THC oil? You’ll be creating a larger black market, and many will go back to smoking.

Regarding my last tweet, it seems that @TobaccoFreeKids is in a pickle. They are now arguing against their mantra of a gateway effect because they don’t want to admit that teen vapers could switch to smoking if the vape bans they promote are enacted. Interesting development.

Vaping misinformation is a global issue. An older woman who smokes here in New Zealand told Vanessa that vaping was worse than smoking. I’m not angry at that smoker, I’m angry at governments and health orgs for killing her and millions of others.
