RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com

Any day now, Canadian vapers expect Health Canada to announce a nationwide restriction for nicotine levels in vaping products that promise to cut by over half the amount of nicotine available in current devices and e-liquids. It’s also feared the regulator will soon follow with a national ban on e-liquid flavours that is certain to devastate the industry and destroy a vital tool over one million Canadians use to quit smoking. 

In this episode of RegWatch, we are joined by Ian Irvine, Professor of Economics at Concordia University and Research Fellow at the C.D. Howe Institute. Hear his warning to Health Canada that these efforts, ostensibly to combat teen vaping, would lead to an increase in smoking-related disease and death.

Another Canadian province bans flavours in nicotine vaping products in response to the moral panic over teen vaping. With astonishing speed, the province of New Brunswick tabled and passed new legislation guaranteed to destroy adult access and choice to the products many use as a safer alternative to smoking.

Join RegWatch’s same-day coverage with a response to the new flavour ban from Dr. John Oyston, Canadian anesthesiologist, and harm reduction advocate.

*Guest: Cliff Douglas, Former VP, Tobacco Control, American Cancer Society

It is a horribly one-sided battle, public health’s war against safer nicotine products such as vaping, heated tobacco products, and oral snus.

After decades of hammering the message that smokers must quit or they will die, public health and the tobacco control community are now trying to eradicate the very products millions use to successfully quit smoking. The War on Vaping seems illogical and intractable, why is that?

Joining us today to answer this question and more is tobacco control insider Cliff Douglas, Adj. Prof. at University Michigan School of Public Health, and former Vice President of Tobacco Control at the American Cancer Society.

Douglas says the mainstream tobacco control community lost its way and it’s time to end the misinformation and vitriol directed towards vaping and tobacco harm reduction.

It’s hard to believe it could happen in Canada, a government assault on one’s right to speak freely, to share information, and to engage in the operation of a lawful business without fear of penalty or fine.

It’s even harder to believe this is not a reference to the ongoing challenges resulting from the 2020 pandemic. No. These are the words RegWatch first used in February of 2016 to describe the Quebec provincial government’s draconian measures in its maniacal war to eradicate vaping.

Joining us on RegWatch to unpack the War on Vaping and the Fight to Save Flavours in Canada is John Xydous, owner of 4 vape shops in Quebec and regional director for the Canadian Vaping Association, and David Levesque founding partner at Digital Smoke Supplies instrumental vaping activist.

For everyone, there’s nothing in life more certain than death and taxes. Yet if you are a smoker the risk of death and pain of taxation increases by orders of magnitude, often thanks to ill-conceived government action. Case-in-point the United States of America and the growing hostility towards safer nicotine products, such as vaping.

In just a few short years anti-vaping campaigns, flavor bans and punitive tax measures have pushed countless vapers back to smoking; during a time when government professes a duty to keep the public safe.

Joining us today to talk about the U.S. approach to vaping and its macabre commitment to death and taxes is the writer, researcher and vape activist Lindsey Stroud, from the Taxpayers Protection Alliance.

In one way or another, every conversation we bring you about vaping is a conversation about nicotine. Whether it be regulations, the latest media scare, or a promising piece of new science, nicotine looms large over all the issues. Without nicotine, there would be no smoking and, of course, no need for safer nicotine products.

Joining us today on RegWatch is Paddy Costall, a global tobacco harm reduction advocate and co-organizer of the 8th Annual Global Forum on Nicotine. Hear about the issues and challenges tackled in this year’s event held online and in Liverpool, England, on June 17th and 18th.

At times it can be quite maddening trying to sort out the reasoning behind public health’s opposition to tobacco harm reduction. Now it’s true not everyone within public health opposes THR products, such as vaping and smokeless tobacco, but for those who do, they seem to hold all the power.

Joining us for the first time on RegWatch is Dr. Lynn T. Kozlowski, Prof of Community Health and Health Behavior at the University at Buffalo, School of Public Health and Health Professions. Kozlowski is an internationally recognized expert on tobacco use, e-cigarettes, and nicotine policy, and he’s the former head of Behavioral Research on Tobacco at the Addiction Research Foundation, Ontario.

What’s the primary moral reaction towards vaping by harm reductionists within public health?
