| 1638631990550306816 | @DurhamHealth My point here is that you have completely lost your moral compass if you put nicotine vapes on a list of things parents shouldn't do in front of children, but don't mention cigarettes. 2022 US adult use: 31m cigarettes (480,000 deaths/year) 14.5m nicotine vapes (no deaths, ever) | 1 |

| 1638647734176555010 | @DurhamHealth But it's okay to smoke and drink..... https://t.co/WBLn6UtB4P | 5 |
| 1638811199121793024 | @ChaunceyGardner @ardosoonurm @DurhamHealth That’s not new news, happens all the time, not sensational enough. Everyone should be screaming: but there’s a way to save them, if they try a harm reduction option (there are several, vaping, Snus, pouches) then they lower the risk significantly. I wonder how that happened? | 4 |
| 1638605222997000195 | @ChaunceyGardner @DurhamHealth It's like we have slipped into a different dimension, I saw a Nicolette quick mist advert the other day which stated people use it to stop vaping...... literally no reference to cigarette smoking!? It's bonkers | 4 |
