“The Coalition of Asia Pacific Tobacco Harm Reduction Advocates (CAPHRA) asked the World Health Organization (WHO) to stop peddling lies about the risks of contracting Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) through vaping or the use of electronic cigarettes. In a 103-page white paper, CAPHRA said the vaping/COVID link is the latest dangerous lie being spread by the WHO as part of its anti-smoking agenda. The WHO has chosen to support deadly cigarette consumption over a healthier alternative and in the process has forced vaping into the waiting hands of the black market—and they do this with the full knowledge of the consequences of their actions.”

“Aside from targeting the harm-reduction nature of vaping, some of the recent criticism has also sought to frame vaping as a gateway to conventional smoking. However, that couldn’t be farther from the truth, and the longer the European Union continues to demonise vaping, the fewer smokers get a chance to switch to a safer and healthier alternative. Moreover, countries that adopt harm reduction policies see better results in reducing smoking compared to more restrictive countries. It is important to keep in mind that demand for cigarettes per se is inelastic, and measures such as advertising bans, plain packaging, and taxes have not proved to be effective in reducing smoking rates. Vaping, on the contrary, serves as a viable alternative that provides smokers with an opportunity to reduce health-associated risks and eventually quit smoking. The effectiveness of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation tool is undeniable as it targets smokers as opposed to non-smokers. E-cigarettes are a gateway out of smoking. E-cigarettes are a gateway out of smoking.”

“In 2019 Connecticut’s largest city raised the age limit for smoking from 18 to 21, and the entire state followed a few months later. Now local officials and activists are hoping history repeats itself as they pursue banning the sale of all flavored tobacco products in Bridgeport while also lobbying the General Assembly in Hartford to pass similar legislation. On Friday at 11 a.m. Nieves, state Sen. Marilyn Moore, D-Bridgeport, Greater Bridgeport NAACP President Rev. Stanley Lord and representatives from Bridgeport Hospital and the American Cancer Society will host an 11 a.m. teleconference to promote the effort. Then Nieves will introduce the local ban at Monday’s regular council meeting and ask her colleagues to vote to forward it to the ordinance committee for consideration and a public hearing. Should it pass, supporters said, Bridgeport would be the first Connecticut municipality to enact such a restriction.”

“A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge has denied a resident’s application for an injunction against the provincial government’s tough-on-vaping rules. William MacEachern, co-owner of the Cloud Factory Vape Shop in Dartmouth, alleged that increased taxes on vaping products and devices, a ban on flavoured e-cigarettes and vape juice, and a prohibition on sampling such items in stores unduly restricted his access to a critical harm reduction tool. He has challenged the constitutionality of the province’s restrictions, which came into effect between April and September of 2020, on the basis that they violate his right to security of the person, outlined in Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The judge also said he did not adequately prove that the public good would be better served by lifting the vaping rules, than by keeping them in place.”

1/29/21: In the video I said the 5-click didn’t work all the time and I thought it may be a child safety thing. This is incorrect. There are actually 3 different modes (not levels) you can cycle through: #1 off, #2 auto and button firing, #3 auto only firing.

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

For decades public health and tobacco control have bludgeoned smokers with the message that smoking kills. And, in order to save one’s life you really only have one choice and that is to quit, or you could die. It’s a stark message, often delivered with moral zealotry and a whiff of authoritarianism.

But what if there is another choice? A choice that reduces harm by allowing the consumption of nicotine in a manner that is magnitudes safer than smoking: there is such a choice and of course we are talking about vaping.

The potential for vaping to save lives is manifest to those in the harm reduction community who have battled so hard against the ill-fated war on drugs.

Joining us today on RegWatch is one such warrior, Harry Shapiro. For over 40 years he’s fought to eradicate the harm caused by ineffective and intolerant drug policy and for the past half-decade, he’s been a leading voice for tobacco harm reduction.

“If tax collections are any indication, menthol smokers not only haven’t quit, they’ve skipped across the border to New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York and other states to satisfy their habit, taking other convenience-store related business with them. That’s what a new report from the New England Convenience Store and Energy Marketers Association indicates. That group, which opposed the legislation that also placed a 75% excise tax on vaping products, said the menthol ban has cost Massachusetts more than $62 million in lost tax revenue. Massachusetts collected about $550 million in cigarette excise-tax revenue during fiscal 2019, Boesen said, and lawmakers predict a loss of $93 million in fiscal 2021 revenue due to the flavored-tobacco ban. Meanwhile, New Hampshire has gained more than $28 million in tobacco excise taxes since the ban took effect on June 1. Overall, New Hampshire cigarette sales are up 46%, while in Massachusetts they’re down almost 24%. It didn’t work with a nationwide prohibition on the manufacture and consumption of alcohol, and a century later, Massachusetts has experienced the same result on a far smaller scale.”
