I remember seeing posters and ads with MDs smoking back in the 50’s. Maybe we could get RFK Jr sucking on the tail pipe of a lead sled.

Hey, as an aside and coming from a smoker weening themselves down, quit while you can, and for you young folk, don’t ever pick it up, it really isn’t worth it at all!

Trust me, there is nothing cool about coughing up a gallon of phlegm every single morning!

And yet, for all the angst and tears, people still smoke. I think it will be a far less successful campaign against something most people use regularly to survive.

Imagine if Big Fossil E paid full-price for their product, i.e. the cost of the health harms from air pollution, climate disasters, drought and famine caused by climate change and without the current, immoral discounting of lives and impacts in the future? They would be quickly out of business.

In Canada, what group do you think could push this agenda against anti science provincial governments?

jvipondmd.bsky.social•84 days ago

shouldn't be a provincial gov't thing. should be a transnational global agreement.

Amen. #FossilFuelsAreToxicGarbage period. Are we savages using a one time use thing in 2024, let alone for the last 30 years? When it was known continued use would blow up the climate? Big oil have had their ads, lies and harm. Time to make em pay big lawyers - where are you?
