Caught in a state of perpetual motion, the War on Vaping powers on this week with yet another alarming television news report from Canada’s public broadcaster, the CBC. Featured on the flagship newscast “The National,” the CBC report sites new data provided by University of Waterloo professor Dr. David Hammond that purportedly shows teen vaping in Canada has returned to pre-pandemic levels.
True to form, the CBC leaves no room for doubt regarding its position on vaping as the report is tagged on-screen throughout the entire piece with the graphic “Teen Vaping Calls to Action” and in the lead, the CBC states Health Canada is not acting quick enough to protect a new generation of youth from becoming addicted to nicotine.
These are shocking developments no matter which way you view them. And for some, it must feel a bit like Déjà Vu.
Joining us to talk through the CBC report and to discuss Dr. Hammond’s new data is national vaping activist Maria Papaioannoy-Duic from Rights4Vapers.

According to data released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control, teen vaping fell by over 40% in the U.S. during 2021. However, neither the CDC nor FDA chose to frame the results as a success. Instead, the public health regulators doubled down on the moral panic over vaping.
In this episode of RegWatch, Greg Conley, the president of the American Vaping Association, unpacks the youth use data, talks about the impact of FDA’s marketing denial orders, and discusses the legal fight for relief.

It may have been the Canadian vaping industry’s last hope. It’s expected within the next 4 to 6 weeks that Health Canada could pull the trigger on its disastrous flavour ban for nicotine vaping products, which many believe could only be stopped by a change in national government. That change of course did not happen, with the re-election of Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberals.
Joining us today to discuss the impact of the 2021 federal election on the battle to save vaping is Darryl Tempest, executive director of the Canadian Vaping Association. Does the return to power of Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberals help or hurt the effort to save vaping in Canada?

With Canada’s general election now over and the federal Liberals returned to power, the future for nicotine vaping in Canada appears bleak. Without political intervention, it’s likely nothing could stop Health Canada from implementing its proposed flavour ban, which is certain to decimate the industry.
Joining us today on RegWatch is Clive Bates, tobacco control policy expert and former Director of Action on Smoking and Health (UK). He issues a blistering critique of Health Canada’s cost-benefit analysis, which the regulator is using to justify its dangerous new policy.
Why does Bates call anti-vaping efforts in Canada “absolutely reprehensible and unethical?”
