Make no mistake, Dr. Gottlieb has threatened consumers who have found a healthier, smoke-free, safer alternative to smoking.
Consumers, and the entire industry ARE at risk.
Along with “experts” in public health, politicians, “health” groups and media, Tobacco-Free Kids has manipulated the public campaign (and the market) for months.
Dr. Gottlieb finally responded in their favor by saying “The FDA has unpublished preliminary data that shows a 75 percent increase in e-cigarette use among high school students this year compared with 2017″ and threatening (primarily) Vuse, Blu, JUUL, MarkTen XL, and Logic.
These brands specifically are – evidently – keeping “youth” from smoking cigarettes.

Cigarettes are safe and have no time limit.
Combustible cigarettes are not a problem.

Steps to address a non-existent problem
All people like better products.
As a father of two (20 & 23 year olds) I remember my sons teenage years… like it was just a few years ago.
Carl makes a bold statement: Teenagers are people. Therefore….
“discouraging teenage vaping probably encourages teenage smoking”
All people like better products. Teenagers are people. Therefore…
Vapor Technology Association (VTA) Response
“Unfortunately, FDA and Commissioner Gottlieb took a giant step backwards against the best interest of public health. By threatening an industry – and technology that millions of adult smokers are successfully using to reduce or quit smoking deadly cigarettes–FDA is venturing into dangerous territory.”

American Vaping Association (AVA) Response

Hand Check
Last week my wife and I spent a bit of time at my first ever vape convention with Fig Ramsey, Julie Woessner David Goerlitz, James Jarvis, Amy Netherton, Jessica and Kevin Lacy, and many more great people trying to help both consumers and the industry in Bowling Green, Kentucky at Vapor Mania Expo.
I had a chance to see, learn, understand and listen to some of the best in the country.
