Another hammer has dropped on the Canadian vaping industry. The Federal government announced it is moving to restrict nicotine levels to a maximum concentration of 20mg/mL for vaping products manufactured, imported, or packaged for sale in Canada. For many Canadian vapers, the proposed new limit would slash (by half for some) the amount of nicotine consumed when vaping and (by Health Canada’s own...

Submit and give up. This is the demand made by tobacco control officials in their effort to destroy vaping as a viable alternative to smoking. While vapers have been the target of this type of harassment for many years, tobacco harm reduction researchers are increasingly coming under fire. In this episode of RegWatch meet Dr. Marewa Glover, Director at the Centre of Research Excellence: Indigenous...

Big tobacco is evil. This “truth” serves as the foundation for tobacco control policymaking across most of the world. Public health bureaucrats, politicians and non-profit health advocacy groups believe so strongly in the evil of big tobacco that they ostracize any person or group they deem to be advancing the interests of the tobacco industry. Perhaps big tobacco is evil. Combustible tobacco prod...

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...

Chaos and uncertainty mark the results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. As of this writing, we still don’t know if Republican candidate Donald J. Trump will hold onto the presidency or if Democratic candidate Joe Biden will prevail, becoming the 46th President of the United States. What we do know is that no matter the outcome the result will have a dramatic impact on the future of vaping....

Follow the science. It’s the exhortation we hear all the time from politicians and bureaucrats to activists and academics. Whether at work or at school or via the mainstream media, we are awash in a reverence to science. But what if science is being used to advance an ideological agenda and great harm is the result? Joining us today to discuss this possibility is Dr. Annie Kleykamp an experimental...

One of the most hotly contested issues with regard to vaping is whether or not e-cigarettes are an effective tool in the battle to stamp out smoking. The very mention of this possibility sends regulators, tobacco enforcement agents, and anti-vaping advocates into a tither. In most regions, the vaping industry is prohibited by law from making direct health claims or even suggest that vaping is a vi...

It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that the war on vaping is political. No matter the fealty public health swears to science, it is perfectly clear political dogma now rules the day when it comes to vaping.  The prospect of wading into politics in order to save vaping is anathema to many vapers and the associations that represent vaping interests. But the time for trepidation may now be over...

It’s not a dystopian prediction of the future, but the present. Unelected health bureaucrats and radical climate change activists aligned in a diabolical effort to exploit the Coronavirus lockdowns; the greatest advancement of state power in the history of mankind. Climate change and COVID-19 are inextricably linked as they both share the same solution: total control of the masses by expert fiat....

With the implementation this week of Nova Scotia’s new vaping product tax it’s become clear the province is determined to destroy the industry, forcing thousands of vapers back to smoking.  The new tax is not only draconian but cruel as the end result is that smoking in the province of Nova Scotia is now more financially viable than vaping.
