And, in order to save one\u2019s life you really only have one choice and that is to quit, or you could die. It\u2019s a stark message, often delivered with moral zealotry and a whiff of authoritarianism.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Joining us today on RegWatch is one such warrior, Harry Shapiro. For over 40 years he\u2019s fought to eradicate the harm caused by ineffective and intolerant drug policy and for the past half-decade, he\u2019s been a leading voice for tobacco harm reduction.<\/p>\n<p>Only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.<\/p>\n<p>Released: January 28, 2020<br \/>\nProduced by Brent Stafford<\/p>\n<p>This episode is supported by DEMAND VAPE<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Make RegWatch happen, go to: <a href=\"https:\/\/support.regulatorwatch.com\/regwatch-support-usd\/\">support.regulatorwatch.com<\/a><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/505475641\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"FROM%20REGULATOR%20WATCH%20-%20Danger%20%26%20Delusion%20Is%20Tobacco%20Control%20Out%20of%20Control%3F\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;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&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-recent_news","wpcat-15-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24063"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24063\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24068,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24063\/revisions\/24068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
