Have to believe that SGottliebFDA must have a hard time sleeping at night trying to balance the political pressure form politicians of wealthy white districts vs. helping the millions of smokers who want to live, many of whom won't survive more speed bumps in the lives.
What seems certain is that ScottGottlieb is not under pressure from the parents of underage smokers (more regular underage smokers than vapers) or adult smokers. While 480,000 more are dying this year, they have no political clout.lauriemcginley2
Dr. Satel’s quote seems most accurate.ScottGottlieb under huge pressure from parents of high SES minors now vaping & their political reps & groups (TobaccoFreeKids).Pressuring to keep e-cigs out of their communities at all costs-real ccost paid for by millions of smokers' lives
Accurate to say that 3.5M high school students reported vaping in 2018, but not relevant number (1 beer/month not indicative of an alcoholic). Only small % of high school students vape regularly per CDCGOv. Data not released, but likely 400K regular users.lauriemcginley2
Also doesn't seem accurate to say juul is “to blame” for youth increase. E-cig use substantially increased in 2015 (limited outrage), only to then decrease. Based on TruthInitiative study, big change in last year was wealthy white youth now using e-cigs. Made it an 'epidemic.'
Good article. But far from true that data shows youth use of e-cigs leads smoking (directly or through normalization). Data seems to say opposite – in just last year youth 18-24 smoking rates declined by 20%. This demographic the key predictor of adult smoking. lauriemcginley2
No one cares
Yet here we are, legalizing marijuana regardless of addicitve effects on kids. Legalize all of it, let natural selection prevail.
I'm sure their criticism has nothing to do with the fact that they own shares in this space. 😏
How about cracking down on real cigarettes!

People will argue that the government should stay out of our business and let people make their own decisions. Most of these decisions are made because a chunk of the population isn't smart enough to make 'smart decisions'. Look at seat belts - 49/50 states require them.
