| 1640760430590132242 | Why are @TobaccoFreeKids, @truthinitiative, @CDCTobaccoFree and @FDATobacco staff not now all dancing in the streets? Their Healthy People 2020 target was to get US teen cigarette smoking down to 16%. It's 2% now. https://t.co/aMqoHUJaGs | 29 |
| 1639458064498565122 | @CDCTobaccoFree Family? No problem.They all have seen the dramatically better health from vapers in their life! Just think if you would publicly admit the truth from the mounds of repeated science that vape is 95-99% healthier than smoking! Think of the lives you could change! Congrats to vape! https://t.co/lRfaHT1iWU | 8 |
| 1641210529510309889 | @CDCTobaccoFree Thank you for sharing smoking cessation advice that will fail for up to 95% of current smokers. FYI: Every smoker is different. They need ALL options to quit. Each needs to find the option that works for them. If you actually cared about smokers' health, you would know this. | 8 |
| 1641548531214471169 | @CDCTobaccoFree #smoke free 14 years now thanks to flavored vaping | 8 |
| 1641501609568919562 | @CDCTobaccoFree @TobaccoFreeKids The harm from nicotine vaping is caused by not nicotine vaping? That's literally what your infographic says. Are you aware that caffeine withdrawal symptoms are similar to nicotine withdrawal symptoms? So... Will you now make similar messages to discourage teen caffeine use? | 5 |
| 1640109038221381632 | @AP_FDAwriter No surprise that they lie. @FDATobacco, @CDCTobaccoFree policy, regulation and public messaging support these lies. @HHSGov is leading the way: https://t.co/fLDhXOmXm4 None of our health authorities are telling the truth about the most effective means of smoking cessation. https://t.co/quXdwBmLXK | 4 |
| 1638711250124251142 | @CDCTobaccoFree I believe we all know how it affects them. 1 out of 2 will die from smoking! The Real question, is why are you Wanting them to remain smoking by taking their best way to quit smoking away from them? That's not doing them any favors! Are you trying to kill them? It Looks that way! https://t.co/JBxxUmoSYn | 4 |
| 1639831627487490048 | @Southernvaper1 @CDCTobaccoFree And have big pharma lose billions in lung injury customers? IF vaping did cause harm there would be no fight.. | 3 |
| 1639355601577730061 | {Me} ALEXA!!!! What is this "new hobbies" {plural} thing @CDCTobaccoFree touts? #CDCTips aren't working? Alexa: Of course not, human. "Hobbies" are things to do when one "quits trying" after an average of 30 times from "advice". See birdwatching, crocheting, walking. https://t.co/lxQqghUd0l https://t.co/pd0mM60Pu9 | 3 |
| 1640486429947224064 | @CDCTobaccoFree /worth repeating. Oh, and fwiw, I had my very last cigarette on the very first day that I tried vaping. Smoke free is exactly that; #smokefree no tar in these lungs. https://t.co/9lqr8OUxX5 | 3 |
