VAPING NEWS: CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL [Flavor Ban]
“Soon after California passed the flavor ban legislation, on October 9, 2020, a group of tobacco manufacturers and retailers (Plaintiffs) sued the State in federal court seeking to invalidate the law. They will be irreparably harmed because the California law is unconstitutional and will cause them substantial financial losses. On November 12, 2020, the California Attorney General (AG) responded with a brief in opposition to Plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction. The AG argued, in part, that: The balance of equities does not support the extraordinary remedy of issuing a preliminary injunction because, in part, nothing in the new California law prevents Plaintiffs from making or marketing their products in other jurisdictions or from selling non-flavored products. Given that we have seen permanent, state level flavor bans or restrictions in only five states, early litigation in states like California could provide a roadmap for Attorneys General in states that may take similar action in the future.”

California Attorney General Continues Fight to Ban Flavored Tobacco Products
“A coalition representing the tobacco industry said Tuesday it has turned in more than 1 million signatures as it seeks to qualify a referendum for the November 2022 ballot aimed at overturning a law banning the retail sale of flavored tobacco products in California. If the Secretary of State’s office determines there is a sufficient number of signatures to qualify the referendum, the new law, which was scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, would be suspended until the voters act on the ballot measure in November 2022.”

VAPING NEWS: NEW HAMPSHIRE [Flavor Bans & Pandemic Increasing Tobacco Sales Revenue]
“Ziad Jabri has always seen a steady stream of customers from Massachusetts. But this year, it’s gone through the roof. The big driver for that growth Massachusetts’ ban last year on flavored tobacco and flavored vapes. While the pandemic has taken its toll on some of many sources of government revenue, the state’s tobacco tax collections are surging right. It’s not just the Massachusetts ban that’s driving up sales in New Hampshire. Experts say the pandemic’s impact on daily life also appears to be spurring growth in tobacco use. While heavier smoking rates are bad for public health in the long run, in the short run the state is benefiting from higher tax collections. Data from New Hampshire’s Department of Revenue show that between January and October of this year, the state collected $33 million more in tobacco taxes than during the same period last year – a 19 percent jump. “This is a trend we’ve been seeing across the country,” Lindsey Stepp, the department’s commissioner said. “States are seeing increases, or at least not decreases, in tobacco revenue since the pandemic began.””

VAPING NEWS: CDC [Smoking, Tobacco, & Vape Product Use Rates]
“About one in five U.S. adults reported currently using any tobacco product in 2019, with most reporting use of combustible products, according to research published in the Nov. 20 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Monica E. Cornelius, Ph.D., from the CDC in Atlanta, and colleagues used data from the 2019 National Health Interview Survey to examine national estimates of tobacco product use among U.S. adults aged 18 years and older. The researchers found that an estimated 50.6 million U.S. adults (20.8 percent) reported currently using any tobacco product, including cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, and pipes (14.0, 4.5, 3.6, 2.4, and 1.0 percent, respectively).”
BILL TARLING — The CDC is able to include vape products in order to panic the public and make it easier to get support passing anti-vaping regulations since the FDA has deemed e-liquid vape products as “Tobacco Products” which therefore inflates the Smoking & Tobacco Use figures to gain additional funding

VAPING NEWS: MALAYSIA [E-liquid Vape Products Are A Gateway Out Of Smoking]
“A 2020 report by an American advocacy group, the Consumer Choice Center, debunks the common belief that “vaping is the gateway to smoking for adults and adolescents.” Titled “Vaping and the Gateway Myth”, the report highlighted findings that vaping is 95 per cent less harmful than smoking. It also presents a viewpoint that vaping actually helps conventional smokers “divert from traditional and harmful tobacco consumption.” The report also emphasises that vaping products were designed to offer smokers a safer way to consume nicotine, with the target being adult smokers. The British National Health Service has already said nicotine, on its own, is relatively harmless and adds that “almost all of the harm from smoking comes from the thousands of other chemicals in tobacco smoke, many of which are toxic.””

VAPING NEWS: CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OHIO [Taxing Vape Products To Pay For Arts]
“It was clear even then that revenues from the 30-cent-a-pack tax would decline because fewer and fewer people were smoking. Now arts supporters have come up with a new proposal to strengthen public support for the arts in the county and across the state of Ohio. An alliance of four countywide arts organizations is drafting proposed state legislation that would enable county voters to replace the existing per-unit excise tax on cigarettes with a new, 8 percent tax on the wholesale price of all tobacco products, including vaping devices. The new local tax would bring revenues back to where they were in 2007, the first year in which the levy took effect. Proponents hope that enabling more counties to enact levies to support the arts would improve the appeal of their proposal to members of the state legislature. ”

FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Systemic Exclusion | Canadian Vape Activists Ostracized
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:
Vaping activists are accustomed to fighting a barrage of misleading information about nicotine vaping, pimped by a plethora of anti-vaping non-profit health groups then promulgated by a compliant mainstream news media.
But over the past year, a disturbing trend has emerged: vaping activists are being canceled from participating, or simply attending forums and discussions with public health on the potential risks and benefits of switching from smoking to vaping.In this episode of RegWatch Live we are joined by Maria Papaioannoy-Duic, vaping activist and vape shop store owner. Hear firsthand how vaping activists are being excluded from the debate and why she thinks the ostracization is systemic.

VAPING NEWS: OXFORD STUDY [Vaping More Effective Than Traditional NRT]
“Experts at the University of Oxford have conducted an extensive review of all the current evidence covering more than 50 papers and 12,000 people and found that “e-cigarettes with nicotine can help more people to quit smoking than traditional nicotine replacement therapy”. While there are some experts that argue nicotine gums and patches should be the only option, the facts say differently. Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson’s evidence review has led them to say that there is “greater confidence” that vaping works.”
