Vaping Prohibition is On the Table in Congress

I seem to remember saying, tweeting, and blogging about regulations, restrictions, taxes, and bans. Repeatedly. Redundantly. Ahhh… but I repeat myself repetitively.

Vaping Prohibition is On the Table in Congress


Nicotine science and policy Q & A

WELL worth the lengthy read. Why? Don’t question me!

Nicotine science and policy Q & A


I dare you to click on this…

Pro tip to legislators: Behind closed-doors agenda agreements should come BEFORE a vote, not during. Because I adore it so much, I tend to use the word (or variations) of “clusterfuck” sparingly. Here’s fuckwittery and clusterfuckitry in action – in front of a camera.


Virus hammers vape producers – and taxes boost smoking

I thought he’d sold his soul at least twice, but now, I present to you, THE Fergus Mason.

Flavored tobacco bans lead to unintended consequences

A.J. Moll. In the flesh. Well, in the electronic flesh:

Flavored tobacco bans lead to unintended consequences


Professor Puff-N-Stuff is a retracted idiot.

If he’s lied about this one, imagine the need to go over ALL of his “work”. You can pick one from many, they’re all my favorite:

Journal Retracts “Unreliable” Glantz Study

Junk study on vaping and heart attacks retracted

American Heart Association Journal Finally Retracts Study

Junk Vape Heart Attack Study Pulled – But Damage is Done

Journal retracts hotly contested paper on vaping and heart attacks

Trump’s Good Idea: Get Drug Regulators Out Of Vaping

I have a special place in my heart for those in public health actually doing the work they are supposed to do. Here’s Sally Satel:

Did Somebody Leave the Gaslight On?

Don’t think for one second this tactic isn’t being abused, common practice and used well in the dark recesses of government… see what I did there…

IQOS Heat-Not-Burn Products Are Drawing Smokers Away from Cigarettes

“I’m for whatever works for the informed consumer. Patch, gum, Heat Not Burn, vaping, snus, acupuncture, books, hypnosis, counseling, etc. Do I “like” them all? No. It’s not about or me, or what “I” like. What may work as a choice for a consumer is first.” ~ Me.

Did FDA Create a Regulatory Loophole for Puff Bars?

As always, Jim McDonald goes above and beyond.

Did FDA Create a Regulatory Loophole for Puff Bars?


Wait, did the government just contract Disney to advertise to children? I’m not giving you the link in Jerry’s tweet. I’ll let you decide if you will do that all on your own.

FDA Proposes New Deadline for E-Cigarette Applications

Now they want to move it.

FDA Link: FDA finalizes guidance


Common Sense Legislation Would Limit Teen Tobacco Access

While I disagree with Tobacco 21 as they portray it, Dr. Rodu has a point. Or three.

Common Sense Legislation Would Limit Teen Tobacco Access


Removing e-liquid flavours from sale threatens the proven success of e-cigarettes

A warning from the New Nicotine Alliance. They’ve been at this awhile.

Removing e-liquid flavours from sale threatens the proven success of e-cigarettes


Lets discuss nicotine, let facts emerge

Wait, facts and nicotine? Be still my beating heart!

“…total global retail sales associated with the nicotine ecosystem during 2017-18 were approximately $785 billion. Cigarettes made up about 89.1% of the global retail nicotine ecosystem by sales value. As compared to that vaping products have a 1.5 per cent market share, which is growing fast.”

If my math is right, 9.4% of the market for “nicotine” was pharmaceuticals.

Meharry Medical College accepted JUUL’s $7.5M grant with eyes wide open

See, researchers who are ethical will do research, science, and collect data regardless of who funds them.

It’s called independent research. I am looking forward to Meharry Medical College’s results, no matter what they are.

Those against it have agendas. Those against it are screaming.

Meharry Medical College accepted JUUL’s $7.5M grant with eyes wide open


Strategies to Reduce Illicit Trade of Regular Nicotine Tobacco Products After Introduction of a Low-Nicotine Tobacco Product Standard

Um – they already know there’ll be a black market. Huh.

Strategies to Reduce Illicit Trade of Regular Nicotine Tobacco Products After Introduction of a Low-Nicotine Tobacco Product Standard

Speaking of lower nicotine: Note, combustion stays the same.

I’ve covered “lower” nicotine here and here.

Gaslighting

Finally this week, two different articles about what public health “experts”, tobacco “control” and “governmental authorities” are doing in the United States: “Gaslighting.”

Two articles to get you in the mood, then a third from Carl V. Phillips from last year.

“a bias — whatever the motivation — is counterproductive”

Gaslighting the Public


Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction and lying, it attempts to destabilize the target and delegitimize the target’s belief.”

“Gaslighting” by the Government and Sycophants:


Final note: Carl V Phillips covered ‘gaslighting’ here in 2018:
