These videos are educational and nature and designed to help people over 21 who smoke cigarettes switch to a less harmful alternative. Hmm, hmm, hmm, alright. Well, what's up everybody? It's Grim Greenback here and today should be a quick one. I'm just going to spend a little bit of time just throwing some shade over at FDA and their decisions that seem to make no sense and don't benefit public health in any way, shape or form, you know. Just usual FDA stuff. I want to give a big shout out to the VTA Vapor Technology Association for their in-depth analysis. Their link will be in the description below. So it seems, seems as though the FDA is playing like a little tricky game of favoritism. Maybe concerning would be a better word, a concerning game of favoritism. Thousands and thousands of applications for less harmful vaping products have been rejected by the FDA over the last few years. Meanwhile, over 1200 brand new combustible tobacco products have been authorized for sale by the FDA. 74% of the new combustible tobacco product applications have been greenlit by the FDA compared to just, you know, what is it? Five, maybe six different e-cigarettes, all in a tobacco flavor, all made by Big Tobacco. What's even more interesting, or however you want to put it, alarming, I guess to me, is that all of these new combustible tobacco products were expedited to the market. Just a 90 day notice without demonstrating their appropriateness for the protection of public health. No, no, that very stringent standard is only reserved for vaping products to prove. The only thing a new cigarette has to do to gain legal entry into the market is to prove to FDA that their cigarettes are just as deadly as the cigarettes already on the market. It's called standard equivalency. It's kind of like qualified immunity, but for cigarettes. Oh, Caliph. Robert, doctor, sorry, doctor, Robert Caliph, our most recent and current FDA commissioner. He loves to get on social media, places like Twitter and talk about how it's the FDA's mission to eliminate combustible tobacco products from the market. But the 1200 new combustible tobacco products authorized by the FDA, Robert Caliph, tells a really different story, approving combustible tobacco products over less harmful vaping products at a ratio of 45 to one that doesn't seem to align with that mission at all. Making me rage vape over here. This is like completely crazy to me. And that's honestly where this story ends. You know, FDA says they want to eliminate combustible tobacco, but are constantly authorizing new ones onto the market. FDA says they want to eliminate misinformation, but are constantly misinforming consumers about the relative risks of combusted tobacco products versus vaporized nicotines. And the dozens of lawsuits that the FDA is currently involved in is probably, you know, a really good sign that they're doing things really right, you know, and really following that science. Hope you're picking up on that sarcasm because I'm laying it on pretty thick. This is one of those stories again that will never make it into any mainstream media, legacy media, NBC, ABC, CNN nonsense. They love to trash vaping, but refuse to hold FDA accountable for literally authorizing and bringing more legal death to the market. This actually gets a little bit more fishy and tin foil haddy when you think about the idea that the FDA is funded by tobacco company user fees. So FDA authorizing more combustible tobacco products means that their funding is ensured. We live in a clown world. If you agree with that, yeah, drop me a like or tap that subscribe button because there's a lot of tobacco nicotine invaping misinformation out there that must be corrected. This has been a grim green video. Let's stay cigarette smoke-free like literally every single damn day. It's like 10.30 and I'm just gonna smoke so.
