Australia’s tobacco control activists got everything they wanted for decades. But when everything turned pear shaped, they pretended obvious severe problems simply didn’t exist. Pride goes before fall. Collapse now inevitable. Simon’s scorn won’t save his reputation @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Opposition to tobacco harm reduction is a closed thought system impervious to evidence which contradicts their cult. USSR & satellites was another closed thought system & collapsed suddenly. That’s what will happen to THR denial. @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social

Australian vape denialists argue enough enforcement will sort out black market for vapes & cigarettes. Really? Hasn’t worked for illicit drugs so why should it work for vapes & cigs? @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

4 charts show how vape denialists are gaslighting us all nonstop. Even worse. They’re getting away with it. For now. But they’re collapse is coming @mikedaube.bsky.social @drbfreeman.bsky.social @publichealthaus.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Sadly this analysis = spot on. Opposition to safer smoke-free nicotine options is hysterical cult which perversely protects deadly cigarettes. History will be kind to harm reduction supporters but will trash cultists @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social

7 countries strongly supported tobacco harm reduction at @who.int COP 11 FCTC meeting in Geneva last week but only 1 country supported THR during COP 10. @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

ABCTV 7.30 Report partisan hit job vapes 24 November as always ignored counterfactual: “what if they weren’t vaping?” Know answer to that: be smoking deadly cigarettes! Country after country where vape use ⬆️, smoking plummeted! @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

How WHO got others to do its dirty work silencing & attacking tobacco harm reduction at a recent important international meeting @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social www.thefirebreak.org/p/what-i-saw...

Who cares how smokers quit as long as they stop! Why can’t tobacco control just allow harm reduction to complement conventional policies? Why hostility? Why need for phoney discounted arguments? @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Like most other countries Australia refuses to learn lessons of illicit cannabis. Demand=strong. Supply=easy. Prohibition hasn’t got chance to work. Repeats same mistake with vapes & gets same result! Duh! @jamomartin.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social

Commentary tells it like it really is: Bloomberg funded jihad against vapes & other safer, smoke free nicotine options is ideology vs evidence.

Australia’s extremist anti tobacco & anti vape policy produces stupendous unintended consequences but can’t be changed for some weird reason. “Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?" Chico Marx @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social

Really hard understand some well trained researchers who still argue 2025 #vaping nicotine gateway ➡️smoking despite compelling evidence to contrary. What’s really going on here? @jgitchell.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

Fancy truth emerging at #FCTCCOP11 despite all efforts to just have anti tobacco harm reduction! Yes NZ smoking rates plummeted after vaping regulated 2020. Also other countries with high rates use of low risk nicotine options @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

But who still thinks tobacco control is about achieving critically important public health outcomes? No, it’s now all about demonstrating extreme loyalty to party line! Just like in days of USSR! Long live Chairman Tedros! @jgitchell.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Tobacco control hate low-risk vapes much more than they hate deadly cigarettes. But smokers love vapes so demand strong even when supply vy restricted so market outsourced to organised crime. Explain to me again why that’s such good idea @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Very helpful analysis. Smokers & traded tobacco companies are already switching quite rapidly from high to low risk nicotine options despite strong headwinds of massive misinformation & government indifference/hostility. @chancethegardener.bsky.social

I met Mark just a few weeks ago in Manhattan. I have known Peter and Derek for nearly two decades. These are good people, commited to saving lives. Their views are evidence-based and should NOT be controversial.

And if you think today is Thursday & Big Tobacco also thinks today is Thursday then you just have to be a shill for Big Tobacco! No question! @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

Do tobacco harm reduction opponents really believe nonsense they sprout or do they realise it’s all crap & just fake believing it? Which is worse? Got to be one or the other! @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

Peter Singer interviews Derek Yach & Mark Tyndall about tobacco harm reduction which could reduce smoking related deaths globally from 7-8 down to ~4-5 million/year @sanho.bsky.social @chancethegardener.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social singerp.substack.com/p/tobacco-ha...

Love how Oz Cancer Council so anti tobacco companies but very happy to accept annual generous donations from Australia’s #1 cigarette retailers-Coles & Woolworths! So anti world’s most popular & most effective quit smoking aid - nicotine vapes! @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Australia’s legal cig market has decreased by 2/3, from about 11 billion cigarettes sold in 2022 to 3.5 billion by end of 2025. @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social share.google/A6TJcvx9mRhj...

Also .. press for cig taxes keep on being increased forever & governments agree. Then smokers switch to now buy from flourishing black market & taxpayers lose billions! Organised crime laughing! Well done zealots! #auspol @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

Meanwhile 16-19 year old Norwegian men daily smoking heading for extinction after being replaced by daily snus use. It’s called ‘tobacco harm reduction’ & abstinence cultists hate it! #Substitution @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social

Many countries where smoke-free nicotine options now rapidly replacing deadly cigarettes-despite misinformation tsunami & govt indifference/hostility. Iceland is another country rapidly switching from high to low risk @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social gsthr.org/resources/br...

Smoking cigarettes daily almost extinct in Norwegian women aged 16-19 thanks to substitution by safer, smoke-free nicotine products. That’s one big step for tobacco harm reduction. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 @algore09algor.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social

Policy on nicotine vapes & other low risk options now impervious to ever increasing quantity & quality of scientific evidence or even severe unintended negative consequences of failure. But policy heading inevitably for collapse sooner or later @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

For 1st time, more Great Britain adults use vapes >smoke cigarettes. 5.4 million >16 years vaped daily/occasionally in 2024 vs 4.9 million smoke. ie 10% of population vape vs 9.1% smoke—a figure that’s down from 10.5% in 2023 @ianamossyd.bsky.social filtermag.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?...

1/2 Japan Tobacco Q3’25 results: Total 🇯🇵cig sales ⬇️another 6.5% vs Q3’24. Overall unit sales heated tobacco products ⬆️by as much as cig sales ⬇️. HTPs now estimated 46.1% of domestic market. www.jt.com/investors/re...

Greatest achievement of vape opponents been to persuade many vaping is as, or even more dangerous than smoking when globally 8 million smoker deaths/year & no scientifically attributed vaping deaths. Propaganda works @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social

Sydney Morning Herald prints anti vape propaganda yet again! No wonder many now believe vapes as dangerous or even more so than cigarettes! Complete utter bollocks! @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social www.smh.com.au/national/for...

Sad to see @drbfreeman.bsky.social & Simon Chapman descending to this level. Surely by now they must have realised they’ve chosen wrong side & are defending the indefensible. Vapes much safer than smoking & help many smokers quit. @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social

@profglantz.com is par for the course among anti vape activists. This isn’t science. Its ideology. And anyway safer, smoke-free nicotine options are rapidly replacing combustible cigarettes @ianamossyd.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social

Thank you Mr Speaker. My question is to @tonyburkemp.bsky.social Minister good luck with your law enforcement illegal cigarettes jihad.

Wonder how many lung cancer deaths worldwide could be prevented in next 20 years if international health establishment accepted existing overwhelming evidence for vaping & other smoke-free nicotine options? @chancethegardener.bsky.social @jgitchell.bsky.social @sanho.bsky.social

Stan, appealing to a respected organisation isn’t an argument. If you believe vaping nicotine is unsafe, where’s your evidence? Now ~140 million vaping in dozens of countries starting from ~0 in 2010. Where are deaths? Hospital admissions? Vaping much lower risk than smoking @jgitchell.bsky.social
