Dimitris is back and he’s pissed! Let’s find out why tonight at 9pm EST!

Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch

With Canada’s general election now over and the federal Liberals returned to power, the future for nicotine vaping in Canada appears bleak.
Without political intervention, it’s likely nothing could stop Health Canada from implementing its proposed flavour ban, which is certain to decimate the industry.
Joining us today on RegWatch is Clive Bates, tobacco control policy expert and former Director of Action on Smoking and Health (UK). He issues a blistering critique of Health Canada’s cost-benefit analysis, which the regulator is using to justify its dangerous new policy.

Why does Bates call anti-vaping efforts in Canada “absolutely reprehensible and unethical?”

PMTAs cost anywhere between $117,000 and $466,000—entirely unaffordable for your average mom-and-pop shop. What’s worse is that manufacturers with different flavored products have to submit these expensive PMTAs multiple times, one for each variant. But according to the FDA, store owners should not fret—at least each application is not “millions of dollars [as] described by some others.” Requiring vape shops to shell out six figures to get approval to sell a product is unreasonable and borderline punitive.

Last month, 15 past presidents of the venerable Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT), the top tobacco research society in the world, co-authored a courageous, groundbreaking article that argues that the media, legislators, and the general public have developed a negative view of e-cigarettes (vaping products) because of the heavy emphasis public health organizations have placed on protecting youth from vaping while ignoring the potentially substantial benefits of e-cigarettes in helping tens of millions of addicted adults quit smoking. The authors lay out thoughtful policy recommendations on how to balance concerns about the risks with the potential benefits.

Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch

In this episode a passionate and pissed off PBusardo joins Brent Stafford, Dimitris Agrafiotis and Amanda Wheeler to discuss the latest FDA death sentence to smokers and vapers alike.

Join RegWatch for a special live episode to unpack the reckless behaviour of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in its decision to delay authorizations of nicotine vaping products for controversial companies such as Juul. While issuing Marketing Denial Orders for millions of products manufactured and sold by thousands of small businesses operating in the U.S. market.

Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, which sued the FDA to create the Sept. 9 deadline, applauded that progress but insisted it was not enough.

“While FDA has said it has ruled on 93% of the applications, it hasn’t ruled on the products that have driven the youth e-cigarette epidemic. Every day those products remain on the market, our kids remain in jeopardy,” said Myers. “It is very frustrating that this problem has been allowed to fester for more than a decade. There needs to be a resolution and a resolution quickly.”

Myers added that if the FDA does not decide on the major applications soon, his group will “have no choice but to go back to the court to have the court enforce its order requiring FDA to begin to remove any product not authorized.”

Myers declined to say when the group would go back to court but added that “this can’t be a delay of months, it has to be resolved promptly or else we have to ask a court to intervene.”
