Alcohol prohibition did not reduce use. It led to a bootleg market that sold with no age-checks.

NOW zealots are demanding nicotine prohibition...

This is INSANE, particularly now that @US_FDA is authorizing nicotine vapes as Appropriate for the Protection of Public Health.
After 16 years, my @YouTube channel (GrimmGreen) was terminated today with no real explanation.
I’ve built my content around harm reduction, helping adult smokers quit, and advocating for science-based policies.
This feels like a huge mistake. If you believe in THR, free speech, and the mission we’ve been on, please help me get YouTube’s attention.
@TeamYouTube I’m asking for a real human to review my case.
I’ve never promoted anything illegal. I’ve never targeted youth. I’ve worked tirelessly to be a responsible voice in the vaping and harm reduction space. But like many creators in this space, it seems I’ve been swept up in an overly aggressive moderation wave.

Look at @YouTube being TYRANNICAL! If you refuse to give real evidence of rules being broken, and offer a rebuttle time frame and then refuse to point to the actual breaking of rules, what do you call this? GrimmGreen has worked tirelessly to obey your rules. Shameful on Youtube!

@YouTube please manually humanly review GrimmGreen. If it wasn't for his knowledge and in depth insight, I would be on a self destructive path. He has been essential in my growth, health, and knowledge of harm reduction

Hey, @YouTubeCreators and @TeamYouTube, can we get some hurry sauce on this and appoint an actual body to this case and have a conversation with @GrimmGreen? Grimm helped me on my journey to be smokefree, like tens of thousands of others. After 16 years, is that too much to ask?

Perhaps immeasurable engagement over a decade with a 400k subscriber base and sharing real, informed decision information through his content- a level most health pro’s will NEVER achieve.
Deleting his channel isn’t safety, it’s a failure for community. @TeamYouTube

I think @TeamYouTube needs to be transparent about this. They give vague reasons that keep creators guessing and will strip away 16 years of work instead of having a rep clearly explain what needs to be changed to be compliant.

@YouTube moderators should pause and reflect on the INSANITY of terminating the channel of a man who has been helping people quit smoking for 16 years. It is, in part, thanks to people like GrimmGreen that US adult smoking dropped from 44-25 million over the past 16 years.

GET THIS (SHORT!) BOOK. This new contribution from Dr. Mark Tyndall is a very accessible 161 pages. It tells harsh truths about the disinformation and cancel culture that harm so many, but also offers powerful reasons for optimism related to the lifesaving promise and future of tobacco harm reduction. Very pleased to have provided a supportive book blurb for this fine work.
I've just bought Prof. Mark Tyndall's new book, Vaping: Behind the Smoke and Fears. An excellent, fluent read and a powerful rejoinder to the myths and misinformation of the abstinence-only fanatics.

Results show little evidence that vaping is causally linked to smoking uptake.

Since President Trump has pledged to cut wasteful government spending by creating the new entity @DOGE with Elon Musk, let's take a look at how health agencies fund research & programs related to the #1 cause of chronic disease and death—smoking.
J/K—that’s not what they do. They fund anti-vaping.
💰 $446M in federal grants—just for projects with "vaping" in the metadata. How much more is buried under deceptive wording?
🤔 What’s Missing?
🚫 Not a single major grant for studying vaping as harm reduction.
🚫 No longitudinal studies on vaping vs. smoking health outcomes.
🚫 No funding for smoking cessation via vaping.
This is institutional bias at work—hundreds of millions spent pushing vaping as a danger while ignoring its potential to reduce smoking-related deaths.
🔥 Bottom Line
🔸 The government is spending $446M+ of taxpayer money to attack vaping, fund scare studies, and push anti-vaping campaigns.
🔸 Vaping harm reduction is completely ignored.
🔸 This is a coordinated effort across NIH, FDA, SAMHSA, and HHS to demonize vaping rather than study its benefits.
If this was about health, there would be research grants exploring harm reduction—but there aren't. Instead, they're funding regulation, bans, and fear campaigns.
