Vuse has been granted a PMTA while the little guys with virtually the same technology struggle, go out of business, lose their livelihoods, and their ability to save the lives of smokers. Angry yet? I am. Hoping the lawsuits are swift and many!

Premarket Tobacco Product Marketing Granted Orders

Hi Phil. How are you? I’m hoping your mom and dad get down here soon. I want to hug mom and do some fishing with Dad. Anyway, I wanted to tell you, I work doing Medicare supplements and Advantage Plans so I speak to people that are 65 and older. I had a customer call me today and thank me for talking to him about vaping. He had tried everything to quit and nothing worked. He smoked 2 packs a day. He wanted to let me know that the day he picked up the vape, he never smoked another cigarette and is now hardly even vaping. He is no longer on blood pressure medicine and no more inhaler. He also got 2 of his friends to try and they also no longer smoke cigarettes. He was so happy he wanted to thank me. I thought that was great and he passed it on and helped 2 friends. Hope to see you all soon.

Thanks Amanda Wheeler!

The department said it pulled back the proposal on Wednesday because it’s working on an alternative legislative solution to address youth vaping, one that so far appears to be significantly scaled back from the department’s full ban.

According to the latest results from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS), 11 percent of high school students qualified as “current” electronic cigarette users this year, meaning they reported vaping in the previous month. That’s down from nearly 20 percent in 2020 and nearly 28 percent in 2019—a 60 percent drop over two years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which conducts the survey, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates “electronic nicotine delivery systems,” both welcomed this evidence that the “epidemic” of underage vaping is abating.
