There is one issue with the potential to unite anti-vaping campaigners with pro-vaping advocates and business owners in the Canadian vaping industry, and that issue is enforcement. Both sides in the battle over vaping want to stop teen use of nicotine vaping products, yet the laws intended to prevent teen access are doing tremendous damage to the retail vaping industry while often going unenforced.
Joining us today to discuss the struggles of Canadian vape retail is Jason Flynn, Ontario-based owner of Vape Escapes retail vape shops, owner of Refined Liquid Labs, and current Board Member at the Canadian Vaping Association.
Is tobacco enforcement doing enough to stop teen vaping?

Since nicotine vapes first hit the market in 2007, the United States has been the lead driver of innovation and consumer adoption of these products, worldwide. But while the U.S. is still the largest market for vaping products, anti-vaping zealotry and regulatory insolence has all but destroyed the legal U.S. vaping industry. Case-in-point FDA’s recent ban on Juul.
Joining us today for a deep dive into the impact of FDA’s Juul ban and to discuss how the War on Vaping harms consumers is Alex Clark, CEO of CASAA, the national consumer advocacy organization for smoke-free alternatives.

As discussed on RegWatch over the past year, it appears Health Canada is taking a wrong turn on nicotine vaping. In a few short years, the regulatory framework, which legalized vaping, seems to have collapsed under the weight of a moral panic over teen vaping and malicious public health messaging linking nicotine vapes to a mysterious respiratory illness.
Dr. Jonathan Foulds, Professor of Public Health Sciences and Psychiatry at PennState University College of Medicine is joining us today to provide insight on the recent restrictions placed on vaping in Canada.

*Guest: Dr. Jonathan Foulds, Prof., Public Health Sciences and Psychiatry, Penn State, Cancer Institute
Anti-vaping activists cling to many shibboleths in their war on vaping, including nicotine vaping is a gateway to smoking, dual-use is a danger negating e-cig quit attempts, and vaping is an ineffective tool to quit smoking. But thanks to a growing body of research investigating e-cigarette use and smoking cessation, they are becoming tired and worn.
Joining us today on RegWatch is Dr. Jonathan Foulds, Professor of Public Health Sciences and Psychiatry at PennState University College of Medicine. Dr. Foulds is a trained clinical psychologist and has spent most of his career developing and evaluating methods to help smokers beat their addiction to tobacco.

Over the past months, several new research studies have released with surprisingly positive results regarding the most contentious issues around e-cigarettes. One study indicates that adult smokers who switch to e-cigarettes may have more chances to improve their health and well-being.
Joining us today to discuss the study are Dr. Rick Kosterman and Dr. Marina Epstein, research scientists from the Social Development Research Group at the University of Washington. Their study found better physical health, increased exercise, and more active social engagement. Amazing!
But is there a catch? Find out.

With the deadline for PMTA submissions for synthetic nicotine products now closed, the U.S. vaping industry is again held hostage to FDA’s plodding regulatory review process and closed mind regarding the authorization of nicotine vapes. FDA’s track record is dismal, issuing Marketing Denial Orders for millions of existing products and refusing to allow non-tobacco flavors. Is there any reason to believe the agency might approve synthetic nicotine products?
Joining us today to discuss the state of the U.S. vaping industry and ongoing efforts to work with the FDA is Tony Abboud, Executive Director of the Vapor Technology Association.

With the comment period now closed for the legislative review of Canada’s Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, Canadian vapers again find themselves in “wait-and-see mode.”
It’s hard to believe, but this month is the fourth anniversary of nicotine vaping products becoming legal in Canada. It’s been a brutal four years, and much of the blame lies at the feet of Canada’s health regulator.
Joining us today to discuss Health Canada’s wrong turn on vaping is Martin Cullip, International Fellow at the Taxpayers Protection Alliance and prolific writer on harm reduction policy issues for major publications such as InsideSources, Center Square, Townhall, and Filter.

According to industry analyst Michelle Minton, the future for nicotine vaping in the United States looks “pretty brutal,” following the FDA’s marketing denial orders, the vape mail ban, and the loss of synthetic nicotine as an ingredient in nicotine vapes.
In the battle against anti-vaping forces, no one is more tenacious than Michelle Minton, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. As a researcher and writer on regulatory issues, Minton has delivered many hard-hitting articles and reports exposing corrupt motivations and tactics behind the most egregious efforts to destroy vaping.

One might hope the plunge in teen vaping and near eradication of teen smoking would prompt Health Canada and the federal government to slow their campaign to restrict adult access and choice to nicotine vaping products. But this is clearly not the case, the outlook for vaping in Canada may be growing worse.
Joining us today to discuss the compounding threats to the Canadian vaping industry is Daniel David, president of VITA, the Vaping Industry Trade Association of Canada and Meshaila Sinnis, VITA’s Director of Regulatory Affairs.
How brutal is the new federal excise tax on vaping? And what can vapers do right now, to help secure the future of vaping?
