Hysteria over vaping is not a by-product of public health’s war on vaping; it’s the intended result. Public health seeks to generate fear and panic to impede logical thinking, from the so-called “epidemic” of teen vaping and “vaping-related lung illness” to the claim that nicotine harms developing brains.
In this special edition of RegWatch, Martin Cullip, International Fellow at the Taxpayers Protection Alliance and prolific writer on harm reduction policy, provides an intelligent reaction to a litany of panics public health has pushed concerning nicotine vaping products.

Unity. It’s the long sought-for desire of many within vaping advocacy. No more backbiting and griping between groups over strategy and tactics in the fight to save vaping. Only focused and efficient action.
The dream may finally be a reality with the recent announcement of a “strategic alignment” between two powerhouse vaping advocacy groups in the U.S., SFATA, the Smoke-Free Alternatives Trade Association, and the USVA, the United States Vaping Association.
Joining us today to walk through the “unified stance” of the two groups are SFATA president April Meyers and USVA president Travis Pinkerton. Also, Darryl Tempest joins the conversation as SFATA’s strategic advisor and representative from the North American Vapor Alliance.
Could unified forces make a difference?

Is big tobacco a threat to the nicotine vaping industry? This is an old and touchy question for many vaping advocates. Most assume that at some point, tobacco companies acted deliberately to thwart vaping's rise. Yet today, big tobacco is positioned to drive the future of vaping. The question: Is there room for both?
Joining us today for part two of our interview is Jonathan Fell. For over 30 years, he's covered the tobacco industry in his role as a financial analyst for tobacco stocks.
Produced in partnership with GFN.TV. Part 1 of our interview with Jonathan Fell can be found here: https://youtu.be/VNnO5sN7bik, or look for it on the GFN.TV YouTube channel.

Could the war on vaping in the U.S. finally take a turn in favor of tobacco harm reduction? It’s a legitimate question even though the cause has suffered major losses, such as the California flavor ban.
Joining us today to help answer this question is Dimitris Agrafiotis, a.k.a. the VapinGreek. He’s a global advocate for vaping, former executive director of the Tennessee Smoke Free Association, and one of the most well-known advocates in the world of vaping.
Should public health be trusted on vaping?

Earlier this week, fans of Tim Pool and his live YouTube show Timcast IRL may have been shocked when a conversation about obesity and the food pyramid veered into a discussion about vaping that amplified almost every anti-vaping myth and stereotype pushed by public health.
It was an astonishing amount of misinformation.
Joining us today to unpack the Timcast vaping debacle is Dimitris Agrafiotis a.k.a. the VapinGreek. He’s a global advocate for vaping and the former executive director of the Tennessee Smoke Free Association.

Last night on @Timcast @TaylerUSA argued that #vaping is worse than smoking. Hear CDC, FDA, and Bloomberg lies, including fake lung disease #EVALI in these 6.5mins. It was a pile-on. Includes: @IanCrossland @Lukewearechange. Thanks @philthatremains for your common sense.
