NEW FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Striking Balance | Health Canada On Vaping | Part 1
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:
When you want answers the best person to ask is always the one in charge. For vaping in Canada that person is Suzy McDonald, the Director General of the Tobacco Control Directorate at Health Canada.
At this critical moment for vaping, on the cusp of federal regulation, what are the driving priorities at Health Canada on the vaping file? What are the deliberations around flavours, nicotine and the evolving science of vaping? And, what does ‘legal’ truly mean for vapers in Canada?
Find out in part one of this exclusive two-part series—the first television interview granted by the top policy-maker—only on RegulatorWatch.com.

AUTOGRAPHED MY. VON ERL. AND MORE RAFFLE TO BENEFIT THE CONNECTICUT CHAPTER OF SFATA
A few weeks ago in Vegas, David Goerlitz (the former Winston Man) and I put together an impromptu raffle to support the Connecticut chapter of SFATA by signing a My. VON ERL.
(OK, It may have been Shaun’s idea. 🙂 )
This quickly grew with others around the table donating additional items and liquids…
You can buy a raffle ticket, get more information, and find what’s up for grabs HERE.
Then you can come out, hang out, have a vape, and meet me and David for the raffle drawing on Saturday March 11th at Vapor 9:
The drawing will be held at the VON ERL. release party at Vapor 9 in Manchester, CT. There is no obligation to show up at the event, the drawing will be held around 8pm and will be randomized on random.org. We will be hosting a live video to view the drawing on Vapor 9’s Facebook page. There is no limit to the amount of tickets you may buy, each ticket will give you a chance to win. The more you buy the better chance you have!
Hope to see you there!!

From Doug
Phil, you and Provari were so instrumental in beginning my journey to kick a 27 year pack to pack and a half a day Marlboro Red habit that I never in a million years imagined I would ever conceive of myself ever quitting. Cigarettes were such a ridiculously large part of my life as I watched it take 1 relative after another while blindly believing it would never happen to me. Blindly believing the heavy chest, coughing fits, and inability to climb a short set of steps without running out of breath. I remember the checkups with the doctor giving me 1 suggestion after another with drugs, patches, gums, lozenges, and inhalers to try for quitting with one failed attempt after another. Finally there is a technology that has worked! I haven’t had a cigarette in 3 years. My wife hasn’t had to nag me about the stink, febreeze my clothes, and constantly worry about what the cigarettes were doing to my health. I watch these commercials to prompt us all to quit smoking while watching my Government try to remove the one thing that has worked to get me off of cigarettes because you and I know they are losing too much tax money and the Big Tobacco lobby is muscling them to think their way.
I have said it before, and I will continue to say it…..keep up the great work! You provide such an important service in your entertaining style of education. Keep using your voice to educate the vendors on their marketing and child proof caps. You have no idea how the strength of your voice has made this world a better place as one smoker at a time puts the cigarettes down and picks up their first device.
Thank you SO much for what you do.
CONGRATS WALTER – THE 2016 END OF YEAR STOCKING WINNER!

A REPOST FROM FACEBOOK – MORE SAD NEWS – PROVAPE CLOSES IT’S DOORS
I originally posted this on my Facebook February 9th. Now that I’m back home (yes, I was able to travel home to see my family and was not affected by the snow storm) I can do the post more justice here:
More sad news today, and as you can imagine, this is and has been hitting me hard. Yes, this is something I’ve known about but have been unable to share.
Depending on when you started vaping, chances are you had or still have a love affair with Provape. Their products have been enjoyed by many people allowing more people to transition off of or stay off of traditional tobacco cigarettes. They have played a major part in pushing the industry forward.
I have and will continue to call them friends. They will always have my respect in the quality of their products, their professionalism, their focus on safety, and their refusal to play in a realm they felt was detrimental to the industry and vapers in general.

Do I have nothing but positive things to say about ProVape? No, as with every company I’ve looked at, there are thumbs down, but at this point, I’d rather focus on the positive they’ve provided to the community, and the sad loss of an American company providing American jobs due to the cost and complexity the far over-reaching FDA regulations provide. Were the FDA regulations the only reason for the closure? Perhaps not… and feel free to speculate, but IMHO, this is where our anger needs to be directed and shared.
I wish David, Phill, Dell, and the rest of the Provape family all the best with any and all future endeavors. You will be missed. 🙁
