Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:

At times it can be quite maddening trying to sort out the reasoning behind public health’s opposition to tobacco harm reduction.

Now it’s true not everyone within public health opposes THR products, such as vaping and smokeless tobacco, but for those who do, they seem to hold all the power.

Joining us for the first time on RegWatch is Dr. Lynn T. Kozlowski, Prof of Community Health and Health Behavior at the University at Buffalo, School of Public Health and Health Professions. Kozlowski is an internationally recognized expert on tobacco use, e-cigarettes, and nicotine policy, and he’s the former head of Behavioral Research on Tobacco at the Addiction Research Foundation, Ontario.

What’s the primary moral reaction towards vaping by harm reductionists within public health?

“The Oregon House of Representatives has passed a bill that would ban online sales of vapes. Dr. Dean Sidelinger, health officer for the Oregon Health Authority, noted in testimony on the bill that vape sales on social media platforms are often promoted by “influencers” who use the pandemic to encourage online sales that are socially distanced. The bill now advances to the Oregon Senate.”

“Indianapolis city-county councilors will consider banning smoking in public parks, extending the city’s nonsmoking ordinance that currently applies to city-owned property, bars, restaurants, bowling alleys and most places of employment. The ordinance includes e-cigarettes. If passed, smoking would be banned in all of the city’s 212 parks. City-owned golf courses and golf driving ranges would be excluded. So too would be property the city or county leases to a party for a term greater than five years. The ordinance does not apply to the excluded cities and towns of Lawrence, Speedway, Beech Grove and Southport.”

Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:

It’s astonishing to witness how swift the Canadian vaping industry’s fortunes have changed following the legalization and regulation of vapour products in 2018.
After experiencing explosive growth and successfully navigating the complexities of a newly enacted regulatory regime, the Canadian vaping industry now faces destruction.
Turmoil over the so-called youth vaping “epidemic” and reputational damage done by a smear campaign that falsely implicated nicotine vaping as having caused an “outbreak” of a mysterious lung illness is responsible for sowing doubt and mistrust with the regulator and the public.

Joining us today on RegWatch is Saadiq Daya, the CEO of Canadian e-liquid manufacturer VanGo Vapes. Hear his assessment of Health Canada’s regulatory management and what he fears most about the pending restriction on nicotine levels and potential national flavour ban.

“E-cigarettes that deliver a cigarette-like amount of nicotine are associated with reduced smoking and reduced exposure to the major tobacco-related pulmonary carcinogen, NNAL, even with concurrent smoking, according to a new study led by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University and Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania. “[We found] e-cigarettes with nicotine delivery like a combustible cigarette were effective in helping reduce smoking and exposure to a tobacco-related carcinogen,” said lead author Caroline O. Cobb, Ph.D., an associate professor in the VCU Department of Psychology in the College of Humanities and Sciences. “But it doesn’t just happen by accident. It requires the smoker to be actively trying to reduce their smoking by replacing it with e-cigarette use.””

Hello Phil,
My name is Robert Wayne. I’m a 49yr old male. I’m a retired E7 chief petty officer of the United States Navy. I entered service at the ripe ole age of 18, 1990 right out of Highschool. I grew up in the Air Force and graduated from Torrejon Air Base Spain.

I had started smoking cigarettes during my senior year, ironically thinking it made me a bad ass while playing a linebacker on one of my schools football teams. ( no, not the European football despite being in Spain, the American version) I started smoking, it was the thing to do, hell at that time drinking age was 16, so, when in Rome right?

Before going to Spain, I had spent just about close to 12yrs of my life overseas, my mother and I following my father around during his Air Force career. Btw, he’s a retired Full bird Col. An A-10 warthog pilot who cross trained to the F-16 Fighting Falcon. And yes, they were both smokers, still are.

Enter my military career, I was eventually a QMC SW/AW Retired navy vet. (Sw is surface warfare specialist, AW is air warfare specialist) during my 20years I was a smoker. And I continued that even after I retired at the age of 38.

I’m now 49yrs of age, I called you and Demi last week on the smokers show, and got to speak to Mike (the god father of vaping) just so I could say I was a few days away from my one year mark of quitting smokes, and totally into vaping. It is April 6th now, 369 days since I quit smoking (call it a military thing, I keep track) thanks to YOU, DImitris and the Innokin brand.

Thank you again Phil Busardo and Dimitiris Agrafiotis, and of course Innokin.
You DO help change lives,

Sincerely,
Rob
