HEAT NOT BURN NOT GOOD?
Just in from Dr. Farsalinos:
Recently, a study abstract and poster presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2017 evaluated the acute effects of exposing mice to a heated tobacco product (IQOS) on endothelial function in comparison with a tobacco cigarette (1,2). The study found that IQOS had “the same adverse effects” on Flow-Mediated Dilatation (FMD), a marker of endothelial function, as the tobacco cigarette. The abstract concluded that “Use of HNB tobacco products does not necessarily avoid the adverse cardiovascular effects of smoking cigarettes”. An accompanying press statement concluded with a similar statement: “Using heat-not-burn products may not avoid the adverse cardiovascular effects of smoking cigarettes” (3).

NEW FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Dripping Contempt | Ontario Liberals Move To Crush Vaping
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:
It’s war, that’s what representatives from the Canadian vaping industry say following the Ontario Liberals sudden and shockingly obstinate legislative position on vaping.
Dashing to capitalize on recreational cannabis, the Ontario Liberals introduced Bill 174, which strategically wraps tobacco, cannabis and vaping together into a single law in order to limit consultation and handcuff opposition to other sections of the bill.
The tactic is well planned as Bill 174 drips with contempt for vapour products and shows utter disdain for the consumer that relies on vaping as a safer alternative to smoking.
What’s in Bill 174 and could it be stopped? Find out—only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.

Landmark Long-Term Study on Vaping by Never-Smokers Finds No Negative Health Impacts
Despite fears of activists, no harm seen after three and a half years of vaping
LONDON, ENGLAND — In a first of its kind long-term study published in the journalNature, researchers have found no negative health impacts from the daily use of electronic cigarettes by young adult never-smokers.
Researchers from the University of Catania, led by Dr. Riccardo Polosa, tracked nine electronic cigarette users with no history of smoking, as well as twelve lifetime non-smokers and non-vapers, over the course of three and a half years. The researchers found no impact on a variety of health outcomes, including blood pressure, heart rate, lung function, exhaled breath nitric oxide, exhaled carbon monoxide, and CT scans of the lungs.
“In spite of previous health scares, our study shows for the first time no risk in long-term vapers who have never smoked in their life,” said Polosa, who presented the study at the fifth annual E-Cigarette Summit in the United Kingdom on Friday, November 17th.
Polosa notes that while even longer-term research is needed to rule out any possible negative impacts, changes in spirometry and CT scans can be seen in young smokers after approximately two years of cigarette usage. With the vapers, no signs of lung damage, including COPD, lipoid pneumonia, and popcorn lung, were found in CT scans, even among the study participants with the highest consumption of e-liquid.
In the United States, far less than 1% of adult never-smokers are current vapers, with an even smaller proportion reporting vaping daily, according to the CDC’s 2015 National Health Interview Survey. Despite this, much of the concern in the media and scientific circles revolve around fears of the impact of vaping on nonsmokers.
“Mouse and cell studies may generate salacious headlines about the supposed dangers of vaping, but they are no replacement for studies on actual humans,” said Gregory Conley, President of the American Vaping Association, a nonprofit that advocates for truthful information about vapor products. “If no negative health impacts can be seen from daily vaping among those who previously did not smoke, how is it ethical to continue warning smokers away from using these products?”
In addition to this groundbreaking research, Polosa also recently published a review of the evidence on the impact of vapor products on COPD patients.
