For registered nurse Kellie Ann Forbes it began as a personal mission to better understand the devastating health impacts of smoking. Soon it became a professional crusade to not only better inform patients about the risks of smoking, but to the wide variety of options to quit—including vaping.
This mission brought her at loggerheads with medical colleagues and the mainstream medical profession, ensconced with anti-vaping dogma and misinformation. Thus, the Vaping Advocacy Education Project was born.
VAEP is one of the most active and trusted educational advocacy groups in vaping. In this episode of RegWatch learn more about VAEP’s story, mission and code ethics, and hear what Kellie Ann has to say about the lung-illness hysteria, vaping bans, and the misinformation in the media.

As hysteria over the so-called “vaping-related lung illness” proceeds unabated, the attack on science that supports vaping as a less harmful alternative to smoking is renewed in earnest. Key findings of harm reduction science: vaping is 95% safer than smoking; nicotine is not carcinogenetic; vaping is not a gateway to teen smoking; and much more is systematically being undermined by a deliberate campaign to destroy vaping.
In this edition of RegWatch hear world-leading scientist Dr. Lion Shahab from the Institute of Epidemiology & Health, University College London address the what he calls the “misleading” hysteria over vaping-related lung disease and how a decade of use, by over 40 million vapers worldwide, shows vaping to be safe.

Many observers liken it to the aftermath of a nuclear explosion. The bomb dropped in mid-August and over the past two-months the fallout, resulting from the so-called vaping-related lung illness, poisoned public perception of vaping and fueled a devastating chain reaction of e-cigarette flavor bans across the country.
Is there a possibility for the U.S. Vaping industry to recover? Today on RegWatch we hope to find out as our guest Chris Howard is a true industry insider. Howard is General Counsel & CCO at E-Alternative Solutions, he’s former General Counsel & CCO of Fontem Ventures (blu eCigs) and he holds a leadership role with the county’s largest advocacy organization, the Vapor Technology Association, where he’s Treasurer and Board Member.
If there are answers to be found, we have a good shot of finding them.

It could be the largest public health scandal in American history. In a little over two months a cluster of mysterious pulmonary illnesses metastasized into a national health emergency with over 1,300 fallen sick, and as of October 10th, twenty-nine deaths. Americans ranging in age from 17 to 75 years continue to die and the agency responsible for protecting the public from spreading illness—the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—continues to suppress the nearly incontrovertible evidence regarding the cause of this horrific outbreak.
Did CDC’s refusal (that is ongoing) to explicitly identify and warn the public about the extreme risks of using illicit black-market THC products cause needless illness and death? And as CDC sponsored hysteria, which falsely conflates nicotine vaping as the cause, drives millions of vapers back to smoking: Will the federal agency have blood on its hands, decades from now, when millions more die from cancer and smoking-related disease?
