When you turn on the mainstream media, pop onto social media or just look out your living room window, you’ll find a sea of people who exist cocooned in a bubble of entrenched thinking. Renowned philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche called these people “the herd.” Today, they are known as Progressives.
If you are a vaper, you can’t escape the brutal fact that the war on vaping is a progressive effort to deny you the right to decide what you can put into your own body and how you might choose to mitigate risk.
You believe vaping saves lives: the progressive public health movement simply does not care.
In this edition of RegWatch meet Vicki McKenna, conservative talk radio host and vaping advocate. She blasts common sense thinking to millions of listeners each week and isn’t afraid of taking on progressive forces hell-bent on destroying vaping.
Last September McKenna went to Washington to testify on behalf of vaping at the House Oversight Committee hearing Don’t Vape: Examining the Outbreak of Lung Disease and CDC’s Urgent Warning Not to Use E-Cigarettes. She ended up squaring off against progressive Michigan U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, in what turned out to be a bizarre exchange over vaping and conspiracy theories…
Hear why McKenna fights for vaping and how COVID Chaos is affecting the battle to ban the vape.

Smoking kills and so does denying smokers opportunities to quit. While stark, this message is dripping with common sense and is a perspective found lacking in tobacco control research and public health.
But not all public health systems are bereft of such ways of seeing. The UK has taken a global lead in seeking to capitalize on the potential benefits of vaping as a tool for harm reduction. And a cabal of careful researchers and tier-one organizations have been leading the charge.
Today on RegWatch we are joined by John Britton, Professor of Epidemiology, University of Nottingham, and the former Chair of the Royal College of Physicians Tobacco Advisory Group. In 2016, Britton shepherded to publication RCP’s ground-breaking 200-page report titled “Nicotine without Smoke,” which emphatically stated that the risks of vaping are small and the benefits are great.
Join us for a deep dive into the science on vaping; an examination public health policies on vaping since the report; a hard look at anti-vaping opponents, the mainstream media, and the recent scares over the teen vaping epidemic and vaping-related lung-illness.
And also, for a discussion about COVID19 and its impact on healthcare, the proportionality of the response, and the emerging new evidence that nicotine could have a role in protecting people from the virus.

We hear incessantly about the “new normal” imposed on society by public health in its response to the COVID19 pandemic. But when it comes to vaping in America, is the public health response really new, or is it a doubling-down on the same only dirty tactics deployed to destroy the industry?
In this episode of RegWatch we’re joined by Dino Baccari Founder & President of White Horse Vapor in Providence, Rhode Island. Brash and insightful, Dino is going to share his thoughts on a wide range of issues affecting local vape shop owners around the country; what’s been the real impact of COVID19 on vaping; how he thinks anti-vaping forces have capitalized on the pandemic; and his advice for regulatory relief which may indeed lead to a “new normal.”

Welcome to the new normal. It’s a horrifying message delivered with a smile by your friendly neighbourhood public health professional. But don’t be fooled, the new normal is abnormal, and the effort to persuade, cajole and force your compliance has only just begun.
Join us for a special live-to-tape edition of RegWatch Live for what we hope is a mind-bending discussion on critical topics including: why Vaping Saves Lives and Lockdowns Save Lives are incompatible; why we are NOT all in this together; when virtue becomes power; when totalism takes over science.

*Get ready to think!
As the world begins to break loose from the totalitarian grip of public health, the enormity of the disaster (created by the hysterical response to the Coronavirus) is becoming tragically clear: Over one billion people in forced lockdown, nearly one-hundred million unemployed, millions thrust into poverty and trillions of dollars of new debt shackled to the living and generations to come.
It’s a man-made disaster that almost no one saw coming, except for, quite possibly, the vaper.

Which side of the political landscape claims the mantle of “change?” Is change used as a political weapon? Why are Progressives so afraid of change? What lies at the heart of revolutionary nature? Is socialism really materialism in disguise?

Under assault by a killer pandemic and crushed by public health’s response, it has become the mantra of the moment: “We are all in this together!” While this statement is heartfelt, do governmental actions in the battle against COVID19 match the sentiment, when it comes to vaping in America?
The U.S. vaping industry has certainly stepped up in this time of need, by manufacturing hand sanitizers, delivering masks and servicing customers who rely on vaping as a safer alternative to smoking, yet the assault on vaping continues. As if stay at home orders and a national economic shutdown are not enough to devastate the U.S. vaping industry, flavor bans (such as the one in the state of New York) continue to wreak havoc and threaten lives across the country.
In this episode of RegWatch, we are joined by Tony Abboud, the Executive Director at the Vapor Technology Association, the leading lobby group for the U.S. vaping industry. Get the latest updates on the most critical issues, including the fight against state flavor bans, the status of FDA’s PMTA deadline, the slanderous linking of COVID19 with vaping, and the determined effort by public health to isolate, stigmatize and delegitimize vaping.
Are we really all in this together?

It’s week six of the COVID19 shutdown and across the board, vaping is taking a beating. Denied (in most areas) the “essential service” designation, vape shops have had to move to curbside transactions, online-only sales, or close the doors entirely. Many vapers have lost access to essential products and governments just don’t seem to care.
In Quebec, the challenge to vaping is starker, as the provincial government escalates its war on vaping to a point where a complete ban is not only possible but probable.
In this episode of RegWatch, we are joined by the Canadian Vaping Association’s executive director and lead advocate Darryl Tempest for a complete update (provincial and federal) about the impact COVID19 is having on vaping in Canada.
We’ll discuss how vaping opponents are using Coronavirus to amplify efforts to destroy the virtues of vaping. And, we’ll examine how chief provincial public health officers are furthering the hysteria against vaping by advising smokers and vapers to quit or cut back amid the pandemic.
Will vaping survive COVID19?

Starting in the earliest days of the lockdown: why do the mainstream media attack each and every potential drug treatment for Coronavirus? Why has the MSM waged jihad against hydroxychloroquine? Is it just about Trump or something more? (Part 1 of our coverage)
This video is clipped from a RegRant episode streamed live on March 19, the same day President Trump first touted hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment for COVID19, and also the same day the MSM launched their attack against all promising treatments.
