America’s tobacco policy has turned self-destructive. Safer nicotine products are demonized and restricted while combustible cigarettes remain widely available.
Watch Part 1 (only on GFN.TV).
In Part 2 of this RegWatch interview, Michelle Minton of the Reason Foundation moves past diagnosis and into consequences.
Minton explains how the FDA’s PMTA regime didn’t merely regulate vaping—it wiped out independent innovation, locked the market in favor of Big Tobacco, and pushed most consumers into a vast illicit supply chain. She breaks down the absurdity of fast-tracking nicotine pouches while leaving vapes in regulatory purgatory, and why a standards-based system was never seriously considered.
From fear-driven decision-making to the refusal to acknowledge historic declines in youth smoking, the outcome is no longer about reducing harm, it’s about expanding control.

Tom Miller has shaped American tobacco policy for more than 40 years. As the longest-serving attorney general in U.S. history and a principal architect of the Master Settlement Agreement, Miller has spent decades fighting Big Tobacco and advancing public health. Now, in Part 2 of a two-part RegWatch and GFN.TV special, he brings his unmatched authority to the most contentious issues in U.S. nicotine regulation.
In this episode, Miller offers a candid, unflinching evaluation of the FDA and the Center for Tobacco Products, scoring their performance on vaping regulation, PMTAs, flavors, enforcement, and the unintended rise of an illicit market. He describes how a broken regulatory framework has left adult consumers underserved, legal businesses at a disadvantage, and policymakers blind to the real-world consequences of their decisions.
Miller also confronts the deep divide inside public health, explaining how tobacco control fractured into prohibitionists and harm reduction advocates.
Is misinformation strengthening the prohibitionist cause?

As the WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) prepares for COP11 in Geneva, its track record of silencing dissent and bending evidence to demonize safer nicotine products stands exposed.
Through tortured data, selective science, and an absolutist anti-nicotine agenda bankrolled by billionaire donors, the FCTC has shifted from a treaty against smoking to a template for exclusionary global health governance—one that ignores evidence, excludes dissenting experts, and punishes nations that embrace harm reduction.
Joining RegWatch to dissect this threat is Dr. Roger Bate, PhD economist, international health policy researcher, and nonresident scholar at the International Center for Law and Economics. Dr. Bate explains how WHO’s hostility to market-driven alternatives isn’t just misguided—it’s dangerous. The organization’s stance fuels illicit markets and cartels, undermines cessation science, emboldens prohibitionists, and replaces public-health pragmatism with billionaire-funded paternalism.

The World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control convenes COP11 in Geneva this November 17-22—a secretive summit of nearly 200 nations dictating global nicotine policy. But with agenda items fixated on banning vapes and pouches while sidelining combustible tobacco's deadly harms, is the WHO fueling a "nicotine-free" crusade that's dooming millions to smoke?
Joining RegWatch to expose the treaty's radical overreach and preview the Taxpayers Protection Alliance's Good Cop 2.0 is Martin Cullip, International Fellow at the Taxpayers Protection Alliance. We unpack the FCTC's anti-industry echo chamber, the push to smear tobacco harm reduction as an industry plot, and why tobacco control's job-security obsession could shatter public trust forever.

The World Health Organization is waging war on safer nicotine and “the people” are fighting back.
As WHO F.C.T.C. delegates meet behind closed doors in Geneva for COP 11, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance is hosting GOOD COP 2.0—the Conference of the People—a public, science-based counter-conference defending tobacco harm reduction and consumer choice.
Joining RegWatch is David Williams, TPA President and founder of GOOD COP, who shares the personal story behind his mission, his critique of the WHO’s “phony science,” and his warning that Bloomberg-funded prohibitionism is costing lives.
Will bureaucratic fear and moral arrogance win the day? Or can the people fightback?
