Unity. It’s the long sought-for desire of many within vaping advocacy. No more backbiting and griping between groups over strategy and tactics in the fight to save vaping.

E462 - Pushing Panic | Public Health Stokes Fear Over Vaping | RegWatch Episódio 5

Hysteria over vaping is not a by-product of public health’s war on vaping; it’s the intended result. Public health seeks to generate fear and panic to impede logical thinking, from the so-called “epidemic” of teen vaping and “vaping-related lung illness” to the claim that nicotine harms developing brains. In this special edition of RegWatch, Martin Cullip, International Fellow at the Taxpayers Protection Alliance and prolific writer on harm reduction policy, provides an intelligent reaction to a litany of panics public health has pushed concerning nicotine vaping products.

No state organization has had more success fending off anti-vaping legislation than the Tennessee Smoke Free Association. Led for years by founder and recently retired president Dimitris Agrafiotis, the group continues to push back on anti-vaping legislation, which, more often than not, is backed by big tobacco. Joining us today are vape shop owners Danny Gillis and Chris Lautz, president and vice president of the venerable Tennessee Smoke Free Association. Hear how the group stopped a recent RJ Reynolds-pushed bill that would have destroyed vaping in the Volunteer State. Also, we take a deep dive into the shop-level impact of the FDA’s PMTA process and marketing denial orders. Plus, hear their reactions to an interview Dr. Brian King the new Director of FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, gave to the American Vapor Manufacturers association last month.
