FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Near Miss? | B.C. Vaping Regs Grow Provincial Patchwork

You’ve already seen and heard about this here on TYJ, on the Smoker’s Show, and again on the Smoker’s Show with Dr. Riccardo Polosa. Here it is again on Regulator Watch with Dr. Carl V. Phillips.

Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:

It is said nature abhors a vacuum and in regard to vaping regulations in Canada, this maxim appears to hold true. In the wake of the teen vaping epidemic and concern over the so-called “vaping-related lung illness,” provincial governments across the country have taken matters into their own hands by issuing a patchwork of new vaping restrictions intended to fill regulatory gaps left open by Health Canada.
The B.C. provincial government is the latest to drop a slew of new restrictions that are certain to change the way vaping products are produced, sold, and consumed in the province.

In this episode of RegWatch we are joined by Darryl Tempest, the Canadian Vaping Association’s Executive Director and Lead Advocate, for a detailed walkthrough and analysis of British Columbia’s new regs.

What will be the impact? Are these regs an industry killer?

Find out, only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.

The Smoker’s Show S02E21 – Temperature Control Revisited

We start this show off by replaying a news article I heard on Google and prove how deceptive these articles, headlines, and images are.
Then, by popular demand, we revisit temperature control in this episode:

  • How it works
  • Challenges
  • Building for it
  • Setting it up

The slide package which you can download below has been updated to contain all the TC slides for your viewing pleasure.

Thank you to Bill Tarling for filling in as co-host while Dimitris was on vacation and then taking a vacation from his vacation.  🙂


The Smoker’s Show is a vape show not for vapers, but for smokers.

A show to get information about vaping, to debunk vaping myths, to discuss vaping terminology & technology, and to look, review, & provide starter kits for the transitioning smoker.

We urge all vapers to invite those they know who still smoke to watch the show!

FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Recruits Wanted | Global Study Seeks to Confirm Vaping Is Safe

You’ve already seen and heard about this here on TYJ, on the Smoker’s Show, and again on the Smoker’s Show with Dr. Riccardo Polosa. Here it is again on Regulator Watch with Dr. Carl V. Phillips.

Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:

It is the single most important question: Is vaping safe? Despite a mountain of research pointing to low health risks associated with vaping compared to smoking; a definitive answer remains elusive. But researchers behind a new multi-site international study of the health effects of vaping hope to remedy that and need your help.
The VERITAS (Vaping effects: real-world international surveillance) Cohort Study is headed by Dr. Riccardo Polosa out of CoEHAR, the Center of Excellence for Harm Reduction, Catania. The lead scientist and global project manager is Dr. Carl V. Phillips.

In this episode of RegWatch hear Dr. Phillips explain why the VERITAS Study is by far the most substantial study of the health effects of vaping (in the absence of smoking,) and will provide invaluable information for vapers, smokers, and policymakers.

You could play a critical role, find out how.

From Hamdi

Comment: Hey Phil,

You are the reason I quit smoking about 8-9 years ago, we always had the same taste for juices, devices (Boge cartomizers come on they rocked!!) and mods. I want to thank you for all your reviews because I liked what you liked I kinda tend to go with your opinion.

I am rocking the kroma-R and the Ares-2 for a few days now coming from a kayfun lite, yes you heated it right, the kayfun always was my favorite in flavor and I’m so used to it. The Ares-2 may even be better (convenient).

Anyways I don’t want to bore you with my already too long of a mail to just say Thank you for being here for me and the community and I love you and Dimi, specially what you both do to contribute to the community.

Regards,
Hamdi

FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Hazard or Benefit? | Unpacking Canada’s New Vaping Regs (2020)

Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:

In the effort to stem youth use of vaping products, Health Canada announced its final Vaping Products Promotion Regulations, which set out measures to further restrict the advertising and promotion of vaping products to youth.
Central to the government’s approach is a strict requirement to display “health warnings” on all vaping products, promotions, and point of sale materials.

While overall the new regulations are welcome by industry, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for stakeholders to accept, what may be considered as the “original sin” of the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act; the enshrinement of vaping as a “health hazard,” rather than as a tool for harm reduction.

The notion that vaping is a “health hazard” imbues the regulatory framework and nowhere does one find a comparison of the potential health benefits of vaping to the known dangers of smoking—what is hazardous to health could never provide a health benefit, so the argument goes.

Joining us today on RegWatch is Sam Tam, President of the Canadian Vaping Association. Hear his thoughts on Health Canada’s latest round of regulations and learn what the impact could be on Canada’s $1.36 billion vaping industry.

TOBACCO HARM REDUCTION IN THE 21ST CENTURY – A RESEARCH PAPER

This is hot off the presses from Renée O’Leary and Riccardo Polosa. Dr. Riccardo Polosa was kind enough to give an interview on the last Smoker’s Show.

This research paper may represent the new “manifesto” for THR. It is very comprehensive and yet easy to read also for non experts.

Purpose – This paper aims to overview the need for tobacco harm reduction, the consumer products that facilitate tobacco harm reduction and the barriers to its implementation. The worldwide endemic of tobacco smoking results in the death of over seven million smokers a year. Cigarette quit rates are very low, from 3%–12%, and relapse rates are high, from 75%–80% in the first six months and 30%–40% even after one year of abstinence. In addition, some smokers do not desire to quit. Cigarette substitution in tobacco harm reduction is one strategy that may reduce the burden of morbidity and mortality

There is conclusive evidence that completely substituting e-cigarettes for combustible tobacco cigarettes reduces users’ exposure to numerous toxicants and carcinogens present in combustible tobacco cigarettes. There is substantial evidence that completely switching from regular use of combustible tobacco cigarettes to e-cigarettes results in reduced short-term adverse health outcomes in several organ systems” (p. 11, emphasis in original)

You can read the entire research paper HERE.

You can see the interview with Dr. Polossa on the Smoker’s Show below.
