If the goal is to deny people their rights and to put lives in danger, then flavour bans would be a brilliant strategy. That’s the learned opinion of David Sweanor, a renowned tobacco control policy expert and adjunct professor in the faculty of law at the University of Ottawa.
With a growing number of jurisdictions implementing bans on flavours in nicotine vapour products, Health Canada is joining the fray by reviving its 2021 proposed flavour restrictions and moving quickly to implement a nationwide ban.
In this episode of RegWatch, learn about Canada’s unaccountable and evangelical health non-profits applying pressure on behalf of the ban.

In the war on vaping, it's a brutally effective attack that's unique to the U.S. marketplace. Known as PMTA registry or directory bills, its new legislation or amendments to existing state law that require manufacturers, distributors, or sellers of nicotine vaping products to attest under penalty of perjury that the products are either authorized for sale by the FDA or are still undergoing the agency's arduous pre-market tobacco application process.
The problem is that the FDA has approved only 23 products out of the 5 million submitted for approval. And all of these products are owned by big tobacco and are only available in tobacco flavors.
Joining us today to discuss the impact of these efforts to take out vaping are vape shop owners Danny Gillis and Chris Lautz, president and vice president of the venerable Tennessee Smoke Free Association.

Despite a steady drumbeat of scientific studies showing nicotine vapes help people switch off smoking, including those with no intention to quit. Many within tobacco control continue to devote resources and press policies to restrict or ban e-cigarettes and other safer nicotine products.
Even good news about the dramatic drop in teen vaping and a massive decline in youth smoking rates seems to have had little impact.
Joining us today to talk through the science and debate over nicotine vaping in the U.S. is Dr. Raymond Niaura, Interim Chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences at NYU School of Global Public Health where he’s also the Co-Director of the Tobacco Research Lab.
Is it possible tobacco control could one day validate vaping? Find out!
