According to data released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control, teen vaping fell by over 40% in the U.S. during 2021. However, neither the CDC nor FDA chose to frame the results as a success. Instead, the public health regulators doubled down on the moral panic over vaping. In this episode of RegWatch, Greg Conley, the president of the American Vaping Association, unpacks the youth use dat...

It may have been the Canadian vaping industry’s last hope. It’s expected within the next 4 to 6 weeks that Health Canada could pull the trigger on its disastrous flavour ban for nicotine vaping products, which many believe could only be stopped by a change in national government. That change of course did not happen, with the re-election of Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberals. Joining us today...

With Canada’s general election now over and the federal Liberals returned to power, the future for nicotine vaping in Canada appears bleak. Without political intervention, it’s likely nothing could stop Health Canada from implementing its proposed flavour ban, which is certain to decimate the industry. Joining us today on RegWatch is Clive Bates, tobacco control policy expert and former Director o...

It is a remarkable development in the contentious debate over nicotine vaping.

Since the beginning of this year, RegWatch has reported on the situation concerning the United States Postal Service and a new law that bans the shipment of all nicotine vaping products via U.S. mail.  The “Vape Mail” ban could have a devastating impact on the nicotine vaping industry in the United States. But it also threatens another industry, one more popular and on the rise: the cannabis indus...

When the government of Canada first made nicotine vaping products legal, many top tobacco researchers from around the world lauded the move. But what about today: now that a pending ban on flavours threatens tobacco harm reduction in the country? *Guest: Dr. Raymond Niaura, Interim Chair of the Department of Epidemiology, Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences, NYU School of Global Public Hea...

Where we have seen severe restrictions and flavor bans on nicotine vaping products, “the smoking rate is going back up,” says Dr. Raymond Niaura, NYU epidemiologist and long-time tobacco researcher. The return of smoking is a disturbing trend that seems to be an accepted consequence of tobacco control’s war on vaping. What’s driving public health decision-making? Find out. Only on RegWatch by Regu...

*In partnership with Rights4Vapers | It’s not an exaggeration to say Health Canada‘s proposed ban on flavours in nicotine vaping products will push hundreds of thousands of Canadians back to smoking because Health Canada freely admits this fact in the Regulatory Analysis Impact Statement for the proposed new regulations. But if a flavour ban in Canada leads to more people smoking, it also means mo...
