Another hammer has dropped on the Canadian vaping industry. The Federal government announced it is moving to restrict nicotine levels to a maximum concentration of 20mg/mL for vaping products manufactured, imported, or packaged for sale in Canada.
For many Canadian vapers, the proposed new limit would slash (by half for some) the amount of nicotine consumed when vaping and (by Health Canada’s own projections) cause some vapers to return to smoking.
In this episode of RegWatch Darryl Tempest, executive director and lead advocate from the Canadian Vaping Association discusses the impact of the proposed nicotine cap and provides a roundup of the fight against flavour bans and vape taxes sprouting up in provinces across the country.
It’s our last episode of 2020, don’t miss it.

*Guest: Dr. Karl Fagerstrom, world-renowned nicotine researcher
Nicotine, the drug craved for its unique and contradictory ability to increase alertness or sense of relaxation, depending on the circumstance it is used.
Nicotine has been consumed for thousands of years yet over the past half-century it has become reviled as a source of addiction and contributor to the millions of worldwide smoking deaths each year.
Joining us today on RegWatch is Dr. Karl Fagerstom. Since 1975 he’s been at the forefront of nicotine research. Hear what he has to say about nicotine dependence and learn why he believes some researchers are being pressured to not tell the truth.

The state of Wisconsin gave birth to both the Progressive movement and the Republican Party. So, it’s no wonder the badger state is ground zero of the culture wars consuming the land of the free and home of the brave.

Submit and give up. This is the demand made by tobacco control officials in their effort to destroy vaping as a viable alternative to smoking. While vapers have been the target of this type of harassment for many years, tobacco harm reduction researchers are increasingly coming under fire.
In this episode of RegWatch meet Dr. Marewa Glover, Director at the Centre of Research Excellence: Indigenous Sovereignty & Smoking, New Zealand. Learn why Dr. Glover believes a tightly networked cabal of tobacco control officials are blacklisting and bullying THR researchers; deploying propaganda and other tactics of coercion, in order to frustrate smokers switching to less harmful sources of nicotine.

Big tobacco is evil. This “truth” serves as the foundation for tobacco control policymaking across most of the world. Public health bureaucrats, politicians and non-profit health advocacy groups believe so strongly in the evil of big tobacco that they ostracize any person or group they deem to be advancing the interests of the tobacco industry.
Perhaps big tobacco is evil. Combustible tobacco products are deadly and for decades the industry lied to the public, marketed to children and spent untold millions influencing public policy. Yet, by branding big tobacco as evil, public health organizations like the WHO have egregiously marked vastly less harmful alternatives to smoking, such as vaping and snus as complicit.
Joining us today on RegWatch is Clive Bates, tobacco control policy expert and former Director of Action on Smoking and Health (UK). Bates believes tobacco control crusaders have baked into policy a principle of “irreconcilable conflict” between the interests of the tobacco industry and public health. Bates says the principle is both permanent and inescapable.

Vaping activists are accustomed to fighting a barrage of misleading information about nicotine vaping, pimped by a plethora of anti-vaping non-profit health groups then promulgated by a compliant mainstream news media.
But over the past year, a disturbing trend has emerged: vaping activists are being canceled from participating, or simply attending forums and discussions with public health on the potential risks and benefits of switching from smoking to vaping.
In this episode of RegWatch Live we are joined by Maria Papaioannoy-Duic, vaping activist and vape shop store owner. Hear firsthand how vaping activists are being excluded from the debate and why she thinks the ostracization is systemic.
