The tobacco industry is beginning to take decisive steps toward reducing the harms associated with combustible tobacco use, not by engineering a "safer cigarette" but by transforming their businesses to reduced-risk products such as vaping, oral tobacco, and heat-not-burn. In today's interview, we discuss the Tobacco Transformation Index, a tool that measures tobacco companies' progress toward a smoke-free world.
Guest: David Janazzo, Int. Co-President, Foundation for Smoke-Free World / Program Officer, Tobacco Transformation Index

Tobacco harm reduction is a concept never discussed in prison, despite the toll smoking takes on inmates’ health and the lack of safer alternatives behind bars. But for those exiting the prison system, they find a new freedom in the plethora of safer nicotine options, including vaping, which offer a path to better health and control over their finances and well-being.

As reported by Politico, President-elect Donald Trump announced Friday that Dr. Janette Nesheiwat is his choice to serve as Surgeon General in his new administration.
Dr. Nesheiwat is a Fox News medical contributor and currently serves as medical director at CityMD, a network of urgent care centers in New York and New Jersey.
“Dr. Nesheiwat is a fierce advocate and strong communicator for preventive medicine and public health,” Trump said in a statement. “She is committed to ensuring that Americans have access to affordable, quality healthcare and believes in empowering individuals to take charge of their health to live longer, healthier lives.”
But is Dr. Nesheiwat the right choice for vaping advocates? In 2019, as part of her role at Fox News, she issued a stark warning about vaping, linking nicotine e-cigarettes to the outbreak of deadly lung illnesses—a claim later debunked and attributed to black market THC vapes. Her report played a significant role in fueling early fears about vaping’s safety.
RegWatch asks: “Is Trump’s Pick for Surgeon General Good for Vaping?”
