I've heard it said that wisdom is a whore, offering her goods in the streets for nothing.
Yet those we think are the smart ones, in lab coats, with credentials hung on the wall, are the ones giving us crappy, faulty science, mostly owned by multinational corporations whose interest is to sell their goods at profit. The average person will believe the paid, deceptive wisdom of the white coat while ignoring the truth that parades everywhere for free.
So let's start with our favorite controversy, vaping. All around the world, politicians on soapboxes want to ban nicotine and keep it out of the hands of the public. How do we find the evidence to give our friends and family who are concerned by our vaping habit?
First, the vaping forums. Give them the links. Ask them to read hundreds, if not thousands of testimonials from real people who were able to stop smoking cigarettes and reclaim their health by vaping.
Put them onto Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos MD MPH, senior researcher at University of Patras.
His own YouTube channel has videos in Greek, but he has interviews done in English. All you have to do is search his name on YouTube.
Never give up hammering your elected monkeys. Ask them:
Why do we have McDonalds restaurants in hospitals, but we can't have vape shops in hospitals, the way they do in the UK?
Why are my taxes being used against me to try to ban the most successful smoking cessation method ever known?
Why is it that if a vape seller calls his products "smoking cessation aid" he will get a fine from the FDA?
Why do nicotine free vape products, including mechanical parts like replacement coils for clearomizers, have to be labeled as tobacco products?
I like scrolling through YouTube shorts. I like watching movies, all the while vaping. If our right to vape isn't going to be taken from us by craven, power hungry politicians, we have to take some time each week away from the fun stuff, to find out where we are in the fight, and how to keep fighting.
