Thank you, Alex!

Setting goals for nicotine regulation and policy Using Regulatory Stances to move forward

I created my first Substack post, based on my opening remarks at the #FDLI Tobacco and Nicotine Product Conference on 28-29 Oct.

Please read and help me get less wrong.

I almost fell(afel) over reading this.

I'm glad @adamrothman.bsky.social's day jobs keep him pretty busy because this stuff provokes audience pita/pity.

Do you love to get less wrong?

@ourworldindata.org can scratch that itch.

Is vaping less harmful than smoking, and does it help people quit? Answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about vaping and its effects.

Probably no one in world has done more to persuade millions of nonsense that vaping is as, or even more, dangerous than smoking than @profglantz.com This article responds to some other common anti vape myths @chancethegardener.bsky.social @jgitchell.bsky.social

There are many people for whom the charts below are very far from #ActualWinning.

They might be right.

But no one, nor group, has the monopoly on correctness or stupidity.

So, how can we determine if this is #ActualWinning or #TiredOfWinning?

Be careful, as this may not warm your heart cockles.

Joe Gitchell (@joegitchell) I’m unwilling to accept @Rob Sand’s claim that Mabe’s is the best pizza in Iowa, though in the spirit of “be curious, not judgmental”, I’ll wait to reach a final decision until I’ve tried it! Great P...

If you're not following @robsandia.bsky.social, you should address that shortcoming.

His judgment on pizza remains under suspicion, but I'm picking up the rest of what he's laying down.

Episode 88: Wellbeing Listen now | Cheer up - it might never happen

Gotta love @stuartjritchie.bsky.social & @tomchivers.bsky.social getting an assist from @dingdingpeng.the100.ci for the latest episode of Science Fictions looking at what we know about well-being across the lifespan.

That at least makes me happy!

Vaping “been commercially available for > 2 decades, & there is increasing evidence of their potential to improve population health”. Exactly! Technological changes sometimes ⬆️ & sometimes ⬇️ risk. Authorities sometimes clearly got it wrong & increased risk mis perception by public

E-Cigarettes in Historical Context This Viewpoint discusses the potential for e-cigarettes to displace smoking, restrictive regulations, and public misperceptions amid enduring nicotine demand and persistent smoking-related disease.

#DiscomfortOfThought required to #RethinkNicotine.

@mikepesko.bsky.social and chums offer up plenty of brain pain.

Joe Gitchell (@joegitchell) So glad I listened (sorry, wasn’t watching—I was conscientiously doing morning household chores!) to @Meghan Daum interview @Olga Khazan about Olga’s book, Me, But Better. And maybe she already has, ...

Bigly recommend hitting this @meghandaum.bsky.social interview of @olgakhazan.bsky.social about Olga's book, Me, But Better.

YouTube video by Global Forum on Nicotine Evidence over Eminence | Garrett McGovern calls for tobacco control rethink at #GFN25

And to bolster Alex's earlier point, Dr Garrett McGovern (who has a way with words!) coined the expression "evidence over eminence".

It would be so encouraging if @profglantz.com would sign up to address our #VaporLock, confront #GroupThink (endemic in all of our silos), and help us all get less wrong, together.

🙏

Can't wait to read this (the whole issue looks so good!).

And it reminded me that I was lucky enough to have Prof Kamensky as my TA in spring semester, 1991!

The written exchange between @tcrgbath.bsky.social's @brittakm.bsky.social & @ash.org's #Romeo-Stuppy in @bmjtobacco-control.bsky.social and @clivebates.bsky.social in @pubpeer.com is worth a look.

Agree, Alex, that the eventual outcome is certain, but every additional day of delay comes with enormous costs in lives and trust, and I can't bring myself to give up hope that we can, all of us, get less wrong, together.

Getting my Kuhn & Piaget on, this makes sense to me to understand the profound and persistent polarization in the field.

We need a way to get less wrong, together.

Grapefruit for #VaporLock?

#ScreamTest / #CheerTest serves as the paradigm / schema / heuristic for many in the field of nicotine and tobacco research, and the continuum of risk cannot be assimilated.
