Recent paper by me showing inevitable & unstoppable replacement of combustible cigarettes by safer, smoke-free nicotine options despite 200 km/hr headwinds from anti THR zealots

The mark of a good scientist is this: When evidence accumulates that conflicts with your cherished beliefs, you change your mind. Dr. Nora Volkow just did that.

I used to dislike her. She opposed #HarmReduction. Now I admire her. I changed my mind about her.

Australia's illegal tobacco problem has jumped from tragedy to farce We can now conclude that the strategy of taxing and banning nicotine addiction out of existence is a complete failure. The result is organised crime making about $10 billion a year in revenue.

Australia next increases cigarette excise by another 5% on 1 September 2025! Expect even more smokers still paying $45 for pkt of legal cigarettes to switch to $15/pkt of black market cigarettes. Time for rethink? @edjegasothy.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social

The Roy Morgan Saga Continues: How Australia’s Youth Smoking Crisis Was Buried, Edited, and Ignored Roy Morgan owes the public a full explanation. Why was the original data report removed? Who made that decision, and under what pressure?

In any credible research environment, transparency is paramount.

@RoyMorganAus has some important & urgent explaining to do! Why was the data on increasing smoking rates in Australians published & then withdrawn from their website? Did the Minister or Department of Health have anything to do with this? @edjegasothy.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social

Oz health policy objectives are pretty simple: ⬆️ quantity & quality of life of Australians. Smoking is still regarded as the most important cause of preventable death & disease in Australia. Australia’s tobacco & vaping policy are abject failures @ianamossyd.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social

A great article here:

Australian tobacco control now uses exactly same unscrupulous tactics made famous by Big Tobacco. We will never learn why Roy Morgan deleted data showing increased recent smoking in Australia @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social @edjegasothy.bsky.social

Has someone in your family been lost too soon?
Don’t be fooled, vaping saves lives!

What You Don't Know About Vaping In Australia There is a very large group of people whose voices have been purposefully and effectively silenced by the Australian Government, #vaping

Censorship is alive and well in Oz. Hidden from the public is the fact that adult ex-smoking vapers were doing great before the government, the studiously ignorant, the control freaks, the grant chasers et al butted in. Public health be damned.

Charles is damn right! Australia is to vaping policy as USSR was to economic policy. Just compare AU with NZ where smoking rates falling twice as fast & three times as fast among disadvantaged!

Reminder to Australians who smoke that your next cigarette tax increase is due on September 1! It will once again be a 5% increase! Last increase? 1 September 2024! Cost of living pressures decreasing? @pippaslive.bsky.social

Let's make sure they know what we are voting for!
Let's make quitting smoking great again!

I would like to congratulate Mark Butler for his inflation fighting prowess!
His ability to keep prices of tobacco & vapes down is one of his highest inflation beating policy results!
Wait what?
Insurance has gone up because of the tobacco & vapes war firebombings?
Yeah, well, he ain’t perfect!

That old chestnut 🙄

Senator Ross Cadell Call Out Vaping Regulation Faiure 21 Nov 2024 YouTube video by ALIVE

What does failure look like?
Australia's Vaping regulations have failed as Senator @RossCadell kindly points this out in the Senate today!

If big tobacco is hooking a whole new generation to nicotine via vapes,
then why aren't the Australian Govt taking big tobacco to court over that?
We beat them in the courts on plain packaging laws, why not vapes?
Becky, you advise the Govt via your position on NHMRC, why hasn't this happened?

I think it’s high time Mark Butler & the govt took big tobacco to court to answer for creating a whole new generation of underage vapers!
We beat them in the courts with plain packaging cigs, why not for flooding Australia with vapes sold to youths?
It is big tobacco causing this scourge right?

If the 148 fire bombings in Australia are any lesson, and Mexicans do violence far better, then I fear what Mexico are about to endure!
eg. www.aliveadvocacymovement.com/firebombings

Vape clouds are harmless.
Micro traces of particulate well below LD50.

It might be ethical in your mind but far less safer than vaping.

I have a dream.
And in that dream,
Australia and the world will become smoke free.
We will adopt the best THR science going forward.
As safer nicotine consumers,
we will be central to making this dream a reality.
We put profits and agenda's aside, so that this dream can happen!
Who's with me?
