"For harm reduction pioneer @drmarktyndall.bsky.social, safer nicotine products are safe supply for people who smoke." "It’s such a brilliant way to do it," he tells Helen Redmond, "and it’s so frustrating that a lot of people don’t see it that way."

"Within 3 months [our community drug research] advisory group lost 3 out of 8 members to smoking-related diseases." Yet as vaping is vilified, "a change would be an admission of failure and public health institutions fear this above all else." By @drmarktyndall.bsky.social:

More than 100 million smokers have switched to vaping, according to new WHO data. www.who.int/news/item/06... My column from earlier this year: The harm reduction approach should apply to tobacco, too www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @drmarktyndall.bsky.social

HIV prevention rock star @drmarktyndall.bsky.social bringing out new book on vaping nicotine as quintessential harm reduction. Book available in June. Its excellent. Well worth reading @chancethegardener.bsky.social @jgitchell.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social drmarktyndallauthor.com

Just finished reading Crackdown by @garthmullins.bsky.social and I am thankful this book has been written. If you are wondering why the streets are looking the way they do and how to better manage the problems, this book offers a lot to consider from the perspective of someone on the ground.

Vaping opponents have become post truthers, convinced like their political counterparts that blatant dishonesty pays. May be also impressed with how long flagrant dishonesty worked for Big Tobacco @drmarktyndall.bsky.social

Michael Russell famously said ‘people smoke for the nicotine but die from the tar’. Now it’s a case of ‘people smoke for the nicotine but die from opposition to tobacco harm reduction’. Drug harm reduction & tobacco harm reduction involve identical principles #HR25 @drmarktyndall.bsky.social

PMI report released 5 days ago show gross profit & net revenue far greater now for low risk smoke free products than for deadly combustible cigarettes #harmreduction #HR25 @gfn.events @drmarktyndall.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social

Excited to announce my new book, Vaping: Behind the Smoke and Fears. Coming soon. Stayed tuned.

Gross profit in US on pack of Marlboros = $4.50 & operating profit ~ $3.64. Profit per pack doubled <5years on product costs ~ 40c to make. No other legal consumer product as lucrative to make. Restricting smoke free options helps Make Big Tobacco Greatly Profitable Again & @jamomartin.bsky.social

Received a desperate message from a friend living in Kenya who has had her ARV medications abruptly stopped as the USAID sponsored clinic has been closed down. What Trump and his heartless and vile supporters have done is truly diabolical. There must be a response.

For Candians, this guy can never be the next Prime Minister for his many positions on critical issues including his total lack of understanding around drug use and addiction. Bizarre statements like this. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
