Gov. Whitmer loses yet again, but she's unlikely to stop. How much taxpayer money has she wasted on this quest to have unelected bureaucrats make policy instead of elected officials? #mileg
The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday denied a request to reconsider a lower court’s ruling that halted Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s ban on flavored vaping products. https://bit.ly/35OLzIH
Cool. Now your correct your garbage about e-cigarettes. https://twitter.com/joerogan/status/1307020061215993856
I fucked up on the podcast with Douglas Murray and said that people got arrested lighting fires in Portland. That turns out to not be true. I was very irresponsible not looking into it before I repeated it. I read one story about a guy getting arrested for lighting fires...

I very rarely am speechless but my only response when I finished this was WTF?

Now is a great time to add The Rediscovery of Tobacco to your bookshelf.
Author Jacob Grier on the book's one-year anniversary -- http://www.jacobgrier.com/blog/2020/09/18/the-rediscovery-of-tobacco-one-year-later/
Today's the one year anniversary for my second book, The Rediscovery of Tobacco. Released at the height of moral panic about vaping, I wrote about how it's held up and whether it's worth self-publishing books in niche areas of public policy.

"The most common potential barriers identified were that 68 percent of participants thought vaping was less satisfying than smoking and 39 percent incorrectly believed that e-cigarettes were as or more harmful than smoking cigarettes, or were unsure (15 percent)." https://twitter.com/JSADJournal/status/1306985481222131715

#Vaping devices offer adult smokers a 95% less harmful alternative to consuming nicotine and even quit smoking altogether, but because of the growth in popularity of these devices governments are looking into ways to fully ban #vape flavors. Here is why it's a bad idea 👇
Another large US population study (n=32,320) reports that daily #vapers were 2-4x more likely to quit than non-vapers.
Yet @Lungfoundation says "At the population level there is no strong evidence that #ecigs assist smoking cessation"
Wrong again!
