The mark of a good scientist is this: When evidence accumulates that conflicts with your cherished beliefs, you change your mind. Dr. Nora Volkow just did that. I used to dislike her. She opposed #HarmReduction. Now I admire her. I changed my mind about her. nida.nih.gov/about-nida/n...

Australia next increases cigarette excise by another 5% on 1 September 2025! Expect even more smokers still paying $45 for pkt of legal cigarettes to switch to $15/pkt of black market cigarettes. Time for rethink? @edjegasothy.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Australia's illegal tobacco problem has jumped from tragedy to farce
We can now conclude that the strategy of taxing and banning nicotine addiction out of existence is a complete failure. The result is organised crime making about $10 billion a year in revenue.

@RoyMorganAus has some important & urgent explaining to do! Why was the data on increasing smoking rates in Australians published & then withdrawn from their website? Did the Minister or Department of Health have anything to do with this? @edjegasothy.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social

Oz health policy objectives are pretty simple: ⬆️ quantity & quality of life of Australians. Smoking is still regarded as the most important cause of preventable death & disease in Australia. Australia’s tobacco & vaping policy are abject failures @ianamossyd.bsky.social @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social

Australian tobacco control now uses exactly same unscrupulous tactics made famous by Big Tobacco. We will never learn why Roy Morgan deleted data showing increased recent smoking in Australia @aliveadvocacy.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social @edjegasothy.bsky.social

Censorship is alive and well in Oz. Hidden from the public is the fact that adult ex-smoking vapers were doing great before the government, the studiously ignorant, the control freaks, the grant chasers et al butted in. Public health be damned. www.aliveadvocacymovement.com/post/whatyou...

Charles is damn right! Australia is to vaping policy as USSR was to economic policy. Just compare AU with NZ where smoking rates falling twice as fast & three times as fast among disadvantaged!

Reminder to Australians who smoke that your next cigarette tax increase is due on September 1! It will once again be a 5% increase! Last increase? 1 September 2024! Cost of living pressures decreasing? @pippaslive.bsky.social

I would like to congratulate Mark Butler for his inflation fighting prowess! His ability to keep prices of tobacco & vapes down is one of his highest inflation beating policy results! Wait what? Insurance has gone up because of the tobacco & vapes war firebombings? Yeah, well, he ain’t perfect!

If the 148 fire bombings in Australia are any lesson, and Mexicans do violence far better, then I fear what Mexico are about to endure! eg. www.aliveadvocacymovement.com/firebombings

Australian tobacco and vape wars bombings logged and listed, well over 100 firebombings and arsons, results of bad Govenment policy on vapes and tobacco proce hikes.

I have a dream. And in that dream, Australia and the world will become smoke free. We will adopt the best THR science going forward. As safer nicotine consumers, we will be central to making this dream a reality. We put profits and agenda's aside, so that this dream can happen! Who's with me?
