The Elephant in the Room: Tobacco Control’s Dead Horse

For decades, tobacco control waged war on smoking, claiming victory as cigarette use declined. But now, a new reality has emerged—vaping and harm reduction have done more to reduce smoking than their endless regulations ever could. Instead of embracing this shift, they refuse to acknowledge the elephant in the room: their own obsolescence. Rather than stepping aside, tobacco control clings to…

Manipulation of the Truth

Last evening I recognized Manipulation of the Truth. While all in the wording, the Truth Manipulative ® is strong. Everything is not as truthful as it appears, and should make you skeptical at best to the information allowed to be filtered to the public by the end of this blog. It may surprise you, this isn’t just about vaping products. It’s about choice, and population level harm reduction.…

U.S. Office of Special Counsel Releases, deletes "Flawed FDA Review" Release

U.S. Office of Special Counsel Releases, deletes “Flawed FDA Review” Release

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel published, then deleted, a press release, explaining they [bold is my emphasis] “alerted the President and Congress that Food and Drug Administration had relaxed its standards of review for new tobacco products like e-cigarettes and stifled attempts by its scientists to raise concerns“. But wait, then they deleted it? Well, a flurry of screen shots and a couple…

Is Public Health Guided by Ethics?

Is Public Health Guided by Ethics?

Is “public health” guided by a code of ethics? Do they manufacture fear, utilizing a ‘greater good‘ behavioral “science” theory as form of social control? Is adding ‘we can all agree’ to narrate manipulate public opinions changing health outcomes for the public at large? Have expectations vs reality concerning what’s ‘best for you’ reared their ugly head(s)? Over time – trust, and the morality…

HIGHER Nicotine Levels Are Safe

HIGHER Nicotine Levels Are Safe

HIGHER nicotine levels are SAFE. A new study shows higher nicotine levels are safe – “nicotine on its own, outside of tobacco products, has limited addictive potential, and that higher doses are safe and well tolerated“ As I typed the title of this blog, I could almost hear the thump of foreheads hitting desks of various alphabet soup groups, the heads of the FDA and other distinguished…

Harm Reduction: Cliff Notes

Harm Reduction: Cliff Notes

I’ve been searching for quite a few years for someone louder in the tobacco control and public health sectors, for a hero. Someone to correct easily repeated disinformation and outright lies. Someone with balls. Cliff Douglas notes harm reduction with precision. In a surprising tweet, Cliff Douglas did just that. How? He released a document titled “It is Time to Act with Integrity and End the…

A Fading Old Memory Between My Wife And Me

A Fading Old Memory Between My Wife And Me

1991 In a perfect world, this blog would never have been sitting in a draft folder waiting for the results of a diagnosis – and finding the right time to talk about it. In an imperfect world, this blog takes a frustrating journey on memory loss, my wife, and me. I can only assume what Janice and I experienced has happened in a similar fashion to more than 6 million people. In the beginning,…

Was "Top Doc" Confused About COVID19 Rules? Charges Pending

It's unnerving to see -0- accountability from the Surgeon General both personally and professionally, acting 'unaware' while misinterpreting data, science, and now laws the public he's supposed to serve - are expected to abide by.

U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams faces charges in Hawaii after “a little bit of fun” while visiting a closed park in August with two others, violating COVID19 rules.

He “didn’t know“???

The article said Adams “didn’t know parks were closed“… but “provided a phone number” to the officer, “the same number Adams listed on an email to state officials seeking an exemptionfor Hawaii’s quarantine…
