Tobacco takes up to 9 months to mature, making it difficult for smallholder farmers to grow food crops within the same year.
It also degrades the soil, depletes its essential nutrients and decreases its fertility, making it difficult to grow food.

349M people🌍 are facing acute food insecurity, many of them living in low & middle-income countries where tobacco cultivation has increased in the last decade.
Planting tobacco:
🔴reduces soil fertility & productivity
🔴limits capacity to grow other crops
🔴leads to more hunger

@eyes_lilly 1/ Scrutiny of strategists a good start. Unfettered access to Govt yet "secret" clients. Crosby a prime example. A toxic dripping tap since '05. Links with Iraq + Syria. Security clearance level of ALL SpAds must be declared. Vetting slyly moved from Defence to Cab Office. Why?
@eyes_lilly 2/ Has blatant plans to rig Lords to benefit Tories, advised VoteLeave's Elliott on strategy in 2011, Philip Morris was a client. It seems he lied about lobbying on #tobacco When challenged he denies all, threatens litigation. End of. Laughing his todger off. UK a soft touch
@eyes_lilly 3/ MP Frank Roy quizzed Hague re Crosby just pre big Syria vote in '13. A chance lost to discredit LC + Tories. The more he's got away with, the bolder he's become. @jimwaterson had loads on him but again it all died a death. The Hollow Men by Nicky Hager a good read + insight

2/ Before I get started, I'll give everyone a little bit of background information. @michaelpollan released a non-fiction work entitled "How to Change Your Mind" in May of 2018. Before the end of that year, his book about #psychedelic drugs became a @nytimes bestseller.
3/ @michaelpollan achieved massive coverage for this self-described "mental travelogue" of his #psychedelic experiences. Soon enough, Mr. Pollan became a prominent figure w/in the so-called "Psychedelic Renaissance". In the process, he gained a rather interesting reputation.

The head of a particular department called me last week to inform me about a staff in his department. He was surprised to note that I knew the person and had referred him for more detailed work. I then told him where I see staff in his campus (without regn) to decrease #stigma
Today I saw three patients from his dept. He had sent them. He had enough trust. Would continue to work with all of them.
It is a great joy when people in your hospital start recognizing your work. Nothing pleases a clinician more than referrals from colleagues.

One of the three had optic neuritis. He is off #alcohol now. He is struggling with #tobacco. I told him it is understandable that he couldn't stop even though he knows the price he is paying is hugh. This is how #Addiction is. Told him to consider a quit date.
The @ato_gov_au is hailing another big victory over #BlackMarket #tobacco in #Australia, via its mouthpiece @ABCaustralia.

That represents about 2 days and three hours (51 hours) of the annual supply of #BlackMarket #tobacco, a lot of which is imported rather than locally grown.
"But.." squeal ANTZ types in a #ScreamTest ".. you presume just one bust per year. HA! We. Own. You."
Good point. That same page at the ABC links three related stories - dating back to 2017. Here we are nearly 5 years later, with 4 busts to show for it.
Less than 1 per year.

We understand the anger against politicians at #COP26 for delivering a weak, inadequate #ClimateChange agreement. But blaming individual decision-makers ignores the fact that the system rewards failure. Here’s how we tackle that reality. 🧵 (1/15)
Here’s the problem: the profits of the #FossilFuel economy are kept largely separate from its costs. That means that countries/companies/investors who generate products and burn fuels that cause #ClimateChange pocket the profits while others pay the price. 💵 (2/15)
As a result, #FossilFuels appear profitable, and there’s massive incentive for political and economic structures to treat these industries as wealth creators. Which creates incentives for climate denial, downplaying the role of the #FossilFuel industry, etc. (3/15)

Most scientists believe #ecigs are safer than #cigarettes.
Regulating #ecigs such as with taxes therefore restricts access to a reduced-risk consumer product.
#Ecig taxes may reduce #ecig use, but they could also increase the use of more lethal forms of #nicotine.

31 states have enacted #ecig taxes, often with the stated goal of “protecting kids.”
The federal government is considering setting a federal #ecig tax at the same rate as the #cigarette tax.

@WHO The WHO's release celebrates progress of its MPOWER strategy. Yet 1.1 billion people continue to #smoke worldwide and 8 million lives are lost annually to #smoking-related disease, figures that have remained static for two decades. This is not success.

But this thread is less about varenicline specifically and more about product recalls, quality control & #nicotine containing products such as #snus, #HTP / #HnB & (most) #eCigarettes. Product recalls are not possible in an illicit mkt or practical in a poorly regulated mkt.

Senescent, sour, Sydney moonhowler @SimonChapman6 has been 'shaking his cane' at #tobacco shops for selling #vapes. Thing is, they are a 'highly addictive' **0%** #nicotine strength.

As such.. it is not 'highly addictive', 'highly habituating', or even 'mildly habituating'.
I picked those two up in Sydney the other day at a tobacconist - who was proud to tell me they had no nicotine at all.

Reassuringly, one of those is actually /made in #Australia/. So applying sensible consumer regs(1) for Quality Control should be easy, and save us (consumers) from having to get them from countries that do not demand high standards in construction or ingredients.

Wear boxers instead of tight pants, & go to bed naked if you want to become a father!
Wearing tight #underwears like pants or shorts keep your testicles closer to the body, leading to warmer temperatures that may kill sperm & lower your sperm count.
Wearing tight #underwears like pants or shorts keep your testicles closer to the body, leading to warmer temperatures that may kill sperm & lower your sperm count.
Bathing with #hotwater frequently exposes your testicles to heat, which can reduce your sperm count.
Same thing happens to men who use saunas often.
In fact, if you're worried about infertility, it's best to bath with normal or lukewarm water.
Avoid hot water baths!
