Highly recommended: A new analysis to be published by @foodanddruglaw argues that traditional tobacco control organizations have "captured" @FDATobacco's regulatory process and recommends corrections to get tobacco and nicotine regulation on track. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
We disagree with the head-in-the-sand approach advocated by @LungAssociation, which ignores the science & the urgent need to educate adults who smoke, half of whom will die prematurely of lung and other fatal illnesses if not not fully informed about issues such as relative risk.
@FDATobacco Strategic plan includes "to inform adults who smoke about the relative risks of tobacco products" (at goal 4). @LungAssociation comments: "The Lung Association strongly recommends this language be removed." Wow! lung.org/getmedia/81b16579-2…

What's wrong with this picture? Experts report Juul is far safer than conventional cigarettes and can help adults quit smoking. This is NOT a product endorsement. This is about what helps public health in 2023. Destroying Juul won't help. It might hurt. wsj.com/business/retail/juul…
SCOOP: Juul Labs plans to lay off roughly 30% of its workforce, whittling its operations as it seeks to raise capital or sell the company. wsj.com/business/retail/juul…

July's editor's choice: Indonesian national tobacco policy is characterised by policy incoherence, underpinned by both a lack of political will among key ministries and a lack of impetus to collaborate in creating and implementing regulations. bit.ly/43eFvTP @liskramer
From Dr. David Méndez of @umichsph:
“The problem is that as a society, we tend to say, ‘We need to save the kids’ without having a balance.” If ... smokers switch to a lower-risk product like #ecigs, “you’re saving their life now." subscriber.politicopro.com/a… @CenterTobacco @cdoug

There is ongoing misunderstanding relating to the EU's decision decades ago to ban snus before Sweden entered the union. Health concerns related to smokeless tobacco products were real, especially including non-snus products, but protecting cigarettes was an important factor.👇👇
Sweden joined the EU in 1995, giving it access to the common market. Snus was banned when the state cigarette monopolies of Spain, Italy, Portugal & France warned it would be popular & reduce cigarette sales, as has already happened in Sweden. Health be damned. @UMTobResNetwork
