#WalkAway from FDA Lies About Vaping

I wrote this little piece in response to spending the last week or two reading and watching #WalkAway threads on Facebook.  It's been a challenge to get it posted there as, like the early days of CASAA, etc. there are too many things going on for admin's to keep up.  So I am putting this here as well.

There are some interesting parallels in #WalkAway to how I grew to accept vaping. Though I never smoked most everyone of my family (wife, children, grandchildren) did or would be likely too.  Today no one smokes "Combustion Tobacco."

You always would like to think that the FDA and "public health" are about making people healthy - until you realize that the FDA, despite numerous studies showing the opposite, want to stop its advancement.

In any case:

As someone who "walked away" more than thirty years ago I have a thought I'd like to share.

You need to “#WalkAway" from much more than politics.

You are being fed a similar line of BS about healthcare, about food and diet, about science, about religion, and just about everything else.  You are simply “demographics” at which measurable, clickable content is focused in order to make money.  You aren’t told anything that’s actually “good” for you.  It began the moment you first saw a TV commercial and continued through your high school text books and onto your phones to your social network sock puppet “feeds” today.

The reason I am writing this post is vaping (Nicotine KIlls!!!, ...) It is well documented that vaping is perhaps one of the most significant public health improvements to ever come along (I’ll provide a link at the end for this).  

Yet it is demonized just like Trump because of its impact on taxes collected by states, revenue for "Big Pharma," etc...

Combustion tobacco products (cigarettes) are known to the FDA to be higher risk than vapor-based products yet there is an enormous effort underway to prevent people from using them.  The consequence? People continue to smoke.  

Your demographic is kept the victim in order to generate tobacco revenue: http://lwgat.blogspot.com/2011/06/hows-that-tobacco-settlement-coming.html
