When public health policymakers implement flavour bans or other restrictions to reduce the appeal of nicotine vaping products to youth, inevitably, these interventions have an equivalent impact on adult consumers.

Banning or restricting flavours drastically reduces the appeal of vaping for adults too. And for the over one million adult Canadians who rely on safer nicotine products, a ban on flavours could mean a return to smoking.
Even Health Canada admits to this possible consequence of a national flavour ban.

Joining us today on RegWatch is Daniel David, president of VITA, the Vaping Industry Trade Association of Canada, to discuss the intended and unintended consequences of the proposed flavour ban.

So are public-health advocates up in arms? Nope. They too seem bent on destroying the nascent vaping industry, loudly urging the FDA to issue more “market denial orders” to deprive millions of Americans of the right to switch from smoking to the vastly safer alternative of vaping.

More than 400,000 Americans lose their lives each year to smoking-related illnesses while not a single person has died from vaping nicotine. Yet groups like the American Lung Association and American Medical Association have called for a total ban on vaping products but say nothing about the spike in cigarette smoking — even though vaping taxes and bans are directly correlated with increased smoking rates.

Some rare, good news to share with you today, U.S. President Joe Biden’s federal vape tax appears dead on arrival as Senate Democrats yesterday dropped the proposal from the Build Back Better Act.

The question today is: What changed their minds?

Joining us on RegWatch is Tony Abboud, executive director of the Vapor Technology Association and longtime friend of the show. Is the vape tax dead? Or is there still a chance Democrats could try again?

As we head into the final few weeks of 2021, the future for vaping and other safer nicotine products has never looked so clear: uncertainty and dread remain the dominant drivers heading into 2022.

Yet, in a remarkable development, 2021 witnessed a strong pushback in favor of tobacco harm reduction by a group of influential tobacco control experts, which could be a gamechanger.

Joining us on RegWatch is the eminent tobacco control researcher Dr. Kenneth Warner, Dean Emeritus, Prof. Emeritus, School of Public Health, University of Michigan. Dr. Warner is at the forefront of efforts to restore balance in public health policy towards vaping and tobacco harm reduction.

During an extraordinary online event last week, decision-makers at Health Canada responsible for regulating nicotine vaping products delivered a presentation to explain how vaping regulations are decided, drafted, and developed in Canada.

The webinar organized by the vaping advocacy group Rights 4 Vapers sought to provide perspective and insight into Health Canada’s proposed national flavour ban.
Joining us today for reaction to the event are hosts Maria Papaioannoy-Duic from Rights 4 Vapers and Christina Xydous from the Quebec-based vaping rights group CDVQ.

Did the event present a positive step forward in the fight to save flavours? Did Health Canada sufficiently acknowledge vapers’ many fears and concerns over the proposed flavour ban? Will this event make a difference?
