It isn’t easy for vapers to secure access and choice to safer nicotine products. It’s enough already dealing with junk science, anti-vaping hysteria, and the constant pummelling by public health prohibitionists and federal regulators.

But now, vapers face a new, more sinister reality.

Strip searches, violent police enforcement, and arrest could result from nicotine vaping or trading in illegal nicotine products.

Joining us today to discuss the dawn of a new prohibition era is Jacob Grier, author of the 2019 book “The Rediscovery of Tobacco: Smoking, Vaping, and the Creative Destruction of the Cigarette” and freelance writer for Reason, a libertarian website and magazine.

From Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch

It’s an original sin of Canada’s federal vaping regulations, the enshrinement of vaping as a health hazard rather than a safer nicotine source for smokers trying to quit.

Every aspect of Health Canada’s approach to vaping regulation and its public health messaging is based on this tenuous assumption.
Health Canada’s authority to regulate vaping products rests in the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, and the regulator recently kicked off the first official review of the three-year-old legislation.

With the specter of teen vaping all-pervasive and a possible flavour ban around the corner: Is Health Canada failing its mission to protect the health of “all Canadians?”

Today on RegWatch, we are joined by David Lévesque, national vaping activist and founding partner at Digital Smoke Supplies. Get a full rundown of the most pernicious aspects of the TVPA and learn how you can have your say with an easy-to-use website that streamlines submissions to Health Canada.

Congress granted FDA the authority to regulate synthetic nicotine in a crass attempt to ameliorate the moral panic over teen vaping. A problem that many researchers say is waning if it existed at all.

Joining us today for a special LIVE edition of RegWatch is Amanda Wheeler, president of the American Vapor Manufacturers. Learn what happens next for the U.S. vaping industry as it navigates the treacherous path to keep much-needed safer nicotine products on the market.

Phil is coming! Phil is coming! 🙂

I’m really looking forward to this!

Let’s pretend it’s somewhere around 2012/2013…

People are excited about vaping and quitting smoking!
Vape shops are opening all over!
Vape events in the US are HUGE!
There are no issues with flavors, regulations, or negative PR!
Dimitris is fatter than I am!

Let’s pretend that and let’s head over to E-Cig Source and celebrate as we once did. Celebrate what we were able to accomplish, celebrate those who found tobacco harm reduction through vaping when all else failed, and celebrate what places like E-Cig Source and Peggy Whitmore are still able to accomplish.

Let’s have some fun.
Let’s have a chat.
Let’s tell some stories.
Let’s reminisce.

If you can go… get there.

I look forward to seeing you!

Thank you to Innokin for supporting this event!
