What is the objective of tobacco control campaigners?
Is it to promote public health?
Not at all.
They are running a campaign against industry.
They attack nicotine alternatives like vaping and pouches because of industry involvement.
They don't touch gutka risks. No industry.
Why does gutka feature so little in a tobacco-control debate that spends so much time targeting vapes and nicotine pouches?
In his guest post, @zaruk challenges the movement’s priorities — and asks who is being left behind.

I can understand why plastic is perpetually under attack
Every market they enter, every sustainable innovation, every convenience...puts the alternatives to the test
"Why on earth would any parent want to go back to those dangerous, expensive glass pots?"

The climate attribution scandal got a new supporter today.

There have only been a few times in history that humanity has changed its tools for market exchange.
We moved from gold to paper bills to, now, a money reflecting the sustainability narrative of our day:
Plastic!
Polymer-based currencies are the new green

Patriot missiles are expensive and in short supply.
Ukrainians are developing the Bullet Interceptor drone for pennies on the dollar to take out Shahed drones.
This 3D-printed plastic drone, mass produced in living rooms, is protecting civilians.
Plastics!
thefirebreak.org/p/celebrati…
If you isolate yourself in an imaginary Big Change world, then you'd believe campaigns claiming we're transitioning from plastics.
If you're living in the real world, away from the fundamentalist dogma, you can continue to enjoy the sustainable innovations plastics bring us.
Next week let's mark the first International Day of Plastic where we celebrate the important innovations, environmental solutions and products/lifestyle advances plastics have brought to the world.
@zaruk provides three such case studies.

The US judicial system has been corrupted beyond repair
- Activists train judges to rig lawsuit decisions.
- US government report exposes this lawfare strategy.
- Academic front groups get more funding from law firms and foundations to strengthen strategy.

Here are the 7 key points from my latest article on the climate attribution cabal.
Law professors and climate activists enrich themselves on funding from foundations and the litigation industry and in return try to deliver evidence to sue the oil industry.
thefirebreak.org/p/the-envir…
A science designed for climate litigation to advance the La Jolla lawfare strategy has sucked all the academic and judicial integrity out of the room.
- no transparency
- conflicts of interest
- biased activist science
The House Committee on the Judiciary slams ELI/CJP
Now what?
The Climate Judiciary Project indoctrinates judges to believe climate attribution is a fact. A House Committee charges them with rigging the judiciary.
Foundation money, bent academics, political activists... @zaruk weaves the usual elements into a scandal

What's the difference between "House is on fire Greta", "Free Palestine Greta" or "French students fighting a violent system Greta"?
Controling the media is easier when you have millions from groups like the European Climate Foundation running your show.

Eight EU health ministers think they can ban innovation and still promote tobacco control.
Their letter to the EU Commissioner must have been written by a health NGO. It went on a rant against some "nicotine industry".
This isn't responsible behaviour.

As a company owner and businesswoman, Naomi Oreskes has demonstrated her performance is not really very good.
Capitalism does not reward someone on ego alone and unlike the Rockefeller Foundation, does not simply mean signing a contract and picking up a check.
I know it's hard!
In entering the corporate world, Naomi Oreskes now has to learn that the quality of her work matters.
Unlike the academe, she can't just pass the work down to some assistant (and then blame them).
And unlike her entire career, evidence and insight matter.

One of America's most hated academics is also one of its most sensational hypocrites.
After a career of attacking researchers who worked with industry, Naomi Oreskes created a company to profit from perhaps America's worst industry.
My latest: thefirebreak.org/p/naomi-ore…
Naomi Oreskes is running a company catering to the US litigation industry. I looked at how she is doing.
"For this anti-capitalist activist, campaigning against greed and unethical behavior in the corporate world, Naomi seems to be a natural at manipulation and exploitation."
Naomi Oreskes has created a company: Grenville Science Consulting. After a career attacking researchers who took corporate or special interest funding, she is now shilling for the litigation industry.
It seems though that Naomi hasn't been very good at it.

My latest column in @clearingthe_air looks at the deep divisions in the EU over the #TobaccoProductsDirective.
19/27 member states rejected the hard line on tobacco harm reduction products
It will only anger EU citizens, isolate Brussels and help the Eurosceptic extremist parties
Eight EU health ministers want nicotine pouch bans, flavour restrictions and a market freeze. The other 19 haven’t signed their letter.
David @zaruk on the isolated bloc trying to turn its hardline demands into EU policy.

In a recent article on how Bloomberg's State Impact Center vanished, I predicted they would just resurface in another school.
Sure enough, a month later, the 7 staffers 2 leads have been hired by a tiny Vermont law school (34 Masters or LLM students).

As more and more emails show collusion between the law professors, foundation funders and Predatorts, this scandal risks destroying NASEM. Heads will have to roll.
#NASEMgate
17 years ago #Climategate shook the climate research world. But that was only about cherrypicking data.
Today, #NASEMgate involves influence from foundation billions, litigation industry greed, COIs and political bias.
Oh yeah, and even worse cherrypicking

One big deception foundation-funded NGOs have pulled off is that vaping flavours are designed to attract youth.
Nobody would eat a meal with no taste, so why do that to people trying to quit smoking?
In the EU #TPD consultation, many said flavours matter.

"What is needed is science-led litigation. What the National Academies have delivered is litigation-led science. The scandal has caused a crisis in public trust."
The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine have suffered 2 scandals in the last year driven by a climate attribution cabal of 5 organizations funded by foundations to advance climate lawfare.
This is worse than the 2009 Climategate crisis.
thefirebreak.org/p/a-downfal…
The EU revision of the Tobacco Products Directive is not only a challenge to find a compromise between foundation-funded health zealots and tobacco harm reduction advocates. It's a battle for the public trust in the EU
