The U.S. nicotine vaping industry continues to stall as the FDA maintains its de facto ban on flavored vaping products despite recent authorizations while a booming illicit market chokes oxygen from legal trade. With millions of Americans still smoking and millions more relying on safer nicotine alternatives, many observers are left wondering: Where's the outrage?
In this episode of RegWatch, Dr. Mark Tyndall shares his candid observations after attending two of the most influential nicotine conferences in the United States—the American Tobacco and Nicotine Forum and the Nicotine Summit. While regulators struggle to contain a massive illicit market and safer nicotine products remain trapped in regulatory limbo, Tyndall says what struck him most was the lack of urgency among those best positioned to drive change.
Has the U.S. nicotine industry become too comfortable with the status quo?

For decades, public health framed nicotine as the enemy. It was addictive, dangerous, and likened to heroin or cocaine. But what if that framing, once useful in the fight against smoking, became one of the biggest obstacles to tobacco harm reduction today?
In Part 2 of our special interview with tobacco control veteran Cliff Douglas, we examine the origins of nicotine demonization, the rise of the modern tobacco control movement, and how fear-driven language continues to distort public understanding of safer nicotine products.
From the misuse of terms like “epidemic” and EVALI to the growing push for a nicotine-free world, Douglas argues public health has failed to evolve with the science.
Are nicotine vapes truly a health hazard—or has the framing itself become the danger?
