VAPING NEWS: GEORGIA [Vape Tax]
“The key House committee approved a seven percent tax on vaping products Wednesday but declined to take on a hike in tobacco taxes. Vaping products could be taxed at as much as 7% of the wholesale price, depending on the type of device. That would add about $6 million per year to the state’s general fund, according to the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. The rate is designed to be similar to the 37-cent tax for tobacco products, said Rep. Bonnie Rich, a Suwanee Republican.”

VAPING NEWS: AUSTRALIA [Tobacco Harm Reduction]
“Vaping nicotine is a popular exit strategy for smokers who are unable to quit using current treatments. It is more effective than nicotine patches and gums and for many it is a safer long-term replacement to prevent relapse to smoking. Successful harm reductions have taken a bottom-up approach. Vaping is similarly a bottom-up approach, and therefore likely to succeed. Vaping is a disruptive innovation that has significantly undermined the cigarette industry. In the past few years since vaping and other harm-reduction options began to eat into the lucrative cigarette market, the market capitalisation of tobacco companies has fallen steeply. Last Friday, minutes after Parliament rose for a six-week winter recess, the Health Minister Greg Hunt announced draconian new restrictions for Australia’s 300,000 vapers’ capacity to obtain nicotine liquid. Greg Hunt, the Australian health establishment and the World Health Organisation are deeply entrenched in their positions against tobacco harm reduction and this disruptive innovation.”

VAPING NEWS: NEW NICOTINE ALLIANCE [Guest Speaker: Dr. Farsalinos]
“There has been global debate about the beneficial effects or otherwise of nicotine towards the chances of contracting Coronavirus and ensuing severity of outcomes once infected. Dr Farsalinos is one of the first in the world to analyze the mounting data and produce research suggesting that nicotine may have protective properties. What exactly does the evidence tell us so far? Why are we seeing such wildly conflicting and confusing messages on the subject? What should we make of the nascent studies being undertaken in several countries to figure out the role of nicotine as a potential preventative force against Covid-19 and what should consumers make of it all?”

VAPING NEWS: ALBERTA, CANADA [Nic Cap & Flavour Ban]
“A group of Alberta physicians is urging the provincial government to include additional measures in its pending legislation that would make vaping products less addictive and less attractive to children and youth. In a letter sent to Premier Jason Kenney and Health Minister Tyler Shandro on Monday, the doctors argue that Bill 19 should go a lot further. The doctors say the bill should reduce the allowable nicotine concentration levels from 66 mg/ml to 20 mg/ml, noting it would align Alberta with Nova Scotia and the European Union. The physicians also want government to ban all flavours but tobacco. “
BILL TARLING — Note that the doctors refuse to acknowledge any scientific based studies or reports proving vaping has a higher success rate, and instead use deceptively false claims from a junk science pseudo study as their basis to claim vaping harms smoking cessation.

VAPING NEWS: BETHLEHAM, NEW YORK [Vape Shop Restrictions & Bans]
“The town of Bethlehem could adopt stringent new regulations over the sale of tobacco that would require retail stores to purchase a license and banning vaping shops within 1,000 feet of a school. The town board has plans to vote on adopting the new regulations, which are opposed by convenience stores and gas stations but have broad support from local residents. The vote would take place by Zoom during the town board’s remote meeting Wednesday night at 6 p.m. The meeting will be broadcast live through the town’s web site.”

VAPING NEWS: EDINA, MINNESOTA [Flavor Ban Lawsuit Against City]
“R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. and other plaintiffs allege the ordinance banning menthol-flavored vapor products and other nonvapor products is an “overbroad reaction to legitimate public-health concerns” about youth vaping that bars even adults from buying the products. “The City’s Ordinance … bans sales to adult tobacco consumers and, moreover, indiscriminately extends the ban to every conceivable flavored tobacco product,” reads the lawsuit filed in Minnesota District Court on Wednesday. All involved plaintiffs either manufacture or sell tobacco products. The list of plaintiffs includes two Edina convenience stores: Lang’s One Stop Market and a BP gas station on Vernon Avenue.”
