What effect does misinformation, burdensome regulations, excessive taxes, and prohibition have on small tobacco harm reduction businesses? I'm going to spend the day building a thread on the topic. 1/🧵

While the intention of preventing youth initiation of adult products is honorable, is there an ethical issue if the messaging isn't accurate? @DKWright7News @WTRF7News

In society’s efforts to prevent youth vaping, what is and is not OK to tell kids to get them to do what we want them to do? An article I read today about an upcoming event got me wondering about this. It’s timely; it involves the Great Pumpkin. skipscorner.substack.com/p/w…

I never imagined submitting one last piece to Will. It didn’t cross my mind that the day would come when I would say goodbye to Filter. I stayed in denial for weeks before finally sitting down to write this skipscorner.substack.com/p/t… The Safe Place in My Inbox: A Farewell to Filter

Alaska just passed a 75% tax on nicotine pouches and vaping devices, making nicotine alternatives more expensive than cigarettes in a state where smoking rates are already 57% above the national average. This tax does nothing to help smokers switch to less harmful alternatives. It just makes those alternatives unaffordable. The FDA has authorized vaping and nicotine pouches as better for public health than cigarettes. So why is Alaska taxing them the same? The Consumer Choice Center is calling on Gov. Dunleavy to veto this tax. Our Head of External Affairs Elizabeth Hayes breaks down exactly why. Take a look: consumerchoicecenter.org/ala…
