A scroll through TikTok will offer accounts from vendors advertising a selection of the ‘bars’ on offer, with the ‘vapinguk’ tag amassing some 54,600 views; peanuts compared to the 2.2 billion views under ‘#vaping’ and 16.6 million under ‘#vapingtricks’.

The new PM has vowed to appoint a Cabinet of ‘all the talents’ as he tries to foster party unity. He told MPs yesterday that he wanted his government to represent the ‘views and opinions’ from across the Conservative Party.

British health agencies have not been so stringent with their advice. According to the NHS, while the act is ‘not completely risk-free’, it poses a ‘small fraction of the risk of smoking cigarettes’, adding that longer term effects are not yet clear.

Officials categorize that dangerous speech as misinformation (false information spread unintentionally), disinformation (false information spread intentionally), and malinformation (factual information shared with ill intent, often out of context).

Those hot-button topics include ‘the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, US withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of US support to Ukraine,’ according to a draft copy of DHS’s Quadrennial Homeland Security Review cited in the report.

‘There is growing evidence that the legislative and executive branch officials are using social media companies to engage in censorship by surrogate,’ Jonathan Turley, a professor of law at George Washington University, told The Intercept.
