*Special Guest: Dan Vergano, Science Reporter, BuzzFeed News It’s an old debate and that’s why it seems so vicious. This is how BuzzFeed News science reporter Dan Vergano describes the battle taking place over the Trump administration’s proposed ban on flavored nicotine vaping products. In this special edition of RegWatch hear Vergano’s assessment of the politics, science, media coverage and publi...

At any moment the Trump administration is expected to announce new policy intended to “clear the market” of flavored nicotine vaping products, in an effort to stem the so-called “epidemic” in youth vaping. Many observers say the Trump ban could have a devastating impact on adult access and choice of flavored vaping products, products which they insist have proven essential in helping millions of s...

**Guests: Tristan Thompson (UVA, Vaping Legion) & Matt Culley (Suck My Mod) Thousands of people are set to descend on Washington D.C. this Saturday, November 9, for what is expected to be an epic rally in defense of adult access and choice to vaping products. Only the Trump administration knows whether the rally will come just mere moments after the FDA drops the hammer and bans flavors; leaving t...

A wicked take on tobacco-control-led hysteria. A tale only for Halloween. Streamed: October 31, 2019 Produced by: Brent Stafford

**Special Guest: Jim McDonald, News Editor at Vaping360.com Public health officials, anti-vaping pressure groups, and tobacco-control refuse to recognize they have pushed past the limits of sanity. In a deranged effort to prevent youth vaping, anti-vaping crusaders are advocating for policies that they know would destroy adult access to vaping products and force millions of vapers back to smoking....

On this special edition of RegWatch Live the Canadian Vaping Association’s executive director and lead advocate Darryl Tempest and B.C.-based lobbyist Michael Geoghegan talk through the legislative and regulatory impact of the hysteria over vaping that has gripped the nation. From the proposed flavour ban in the province of British Columbia to Health Canada's reaction to the so-called vaping-relat...

For registered nurse Kellie Ann Forbes it began as a personal mission to better understand the devastating health impacts of smoking. Soon it became a professional crusade to not only better inform patients about the risks of smoking, but to the wide variety of options to quit—including vaping. This mission brought her at loggerheads with medical colleagues and the mainstream medical profession, e...

As hysteria over the so-called “vaping-related lung illness” proceeds unabated, the attack on science that supports vaping as a less harmful alternative to smoking is renewed in earnest. Key findings of harm reduction science: vaping is 95% safer than smoking; nicotine is not carcinogenetic; vaping is not a gateway to teen smoking; and much more is systematically being undermined by a deliberate c...

Many observers liken it to the aftermath of a nuclear explosion. The bomb dropped in mid-August and over the past two-months the fallout, resulting from the so-called vaping-related lung illness, poisoned public perception of vaping and fueled a devastating chain reaction of e-cigarette flavor bans across the country. Is there a possibility for the U.S. Vaping industry to recover? Today on RegWatc...

*Special Guest: Amelia Howard, Ph. D. Candidate, Sociology, University of Waterloo, Vaping Advocate It could be the largest public health scandal in American history. In a little over two months a cluster of mysterious pulmonary illnesses metastasized into a national health emergency with over 1,300 fallen sick, and as of October 10th, twenty-nine deaths.

It could be the largest public health scandal in American history. In a little over two months a cluster of mysterious pulmonary illnesses metastasized into a national health emergency with over 1,300 fallen sick, and as of October 10th, twenty-nine deaths. Americans ranging in age from 17 to 75 years continue to die and the agency responsible for protecting the public from spreading illness—the U...

Hysteria over vaping-related lung illness appeared out of nowhere and in a flash consumed the entire North American vaping industry. It began on August 16 with a short media statement issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and by September 11, it had metastasized into a Presidential vaping ban. Canada was not immune. The following week Dr. Christopher Mackie, medical officer for the Middl...

The war on vaping escalates with each passing day. On Tuesday the war widened when Massachusetts officially became the first U.S. state to ban the sale of all electronic cigarettes, going further than other states, that have up until now, only restricted flavored vaping products. The ban is effective immediately and will run until January 25. Also, this week, the assault on vaping set its sights o...

It was shocking news to learn just one week ago of the first reported case of illness linked to vaping products in Canada. In a gripping news conference, which we covered here on RegWatch, officials from the Middlesex-London Health Unit in Ontario released details, albeit limited of an Ontario teenager who was put on life-support after using a vaping device. Dr. Chris Mackie, the region’s medical...

***Special Guest: Dimitris Agrafiotis @VapinGreek*** It’s been four weeks since news of vaping-related illnesses first made international headlines and during this short time the prospects for the future of nicotine vaping, as a tool for harm reduction, have been shattered. As a mountain of misinformation promulgated by public health agencies and anti-vaping pressure groups stoked a feverish mains...

Without question, the system is failing. The very people and institutions we rely upon to provide accurate information about health-related matters are captured by rhetoric and slavishly denying science. If the system is failing, is it time for the people to crash it? Today RegWatch is doing a series of crash tests on our pesky live stream gear. While doing so we provide a blow-by-blow of Canada’s...

In this upcoming episode of RegWatch Live Schell Hammel, national vaping advocate and Texas retail chain owner, tackles the Trump administration’s misguided plan to ban flavored vaping products. While providing frank Texas advice to the President, and to those in vap...
