Today we are going to spend some time talking about a piece from the Wall Street Journal discussing how Smoking’s Long Decline Is Over, Cigarette sales are up, people are smoking more and more cigarettes. But why?

We’re also going to spend a little time today discussing the American Cancer Society and in spite of all of the overwhelming evidence they continue to NOT recommend e-cigs for quitting smoking. More than that they deter people from even trying. Cancer Research UK on the other hand? Prepare to be not that shocked. There is some other good news, some other less than good news. We are here to discredit the myth making machine.

Every Tuesday afternoon for roughly an hour and a half, We will be discussing the topics of the day. As well as current breaking news from the world of vaping, tobacco, nicotine and tobacco harm reduction. Let’s get educated and fight the good fight together!
