*Guest: Dr. Derek Yach, President of Foundation for a Smoke-Free World
Not long ago, tobacco control researchers and public health officials openly discussed a possible worldwide “endgame” to combustible tobacco use, thus preventing the death of up to one billion smokers by end of this century. But today, the focus on endgame is forgotten as the tobacco control movement intensifies efforts to eradicate vaping, the only technology proven both scalable and appealing to smokers as a viable alternative to smoking.
Tobacco control fixates on preventing up-take of smoking and complete cessation of nicotine use. While technologies like vaping, represent the principles of reduced risk and harm reduction.

Joining us today on RegWatch is Dr. Derek Yach, President of the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World (FSFW) and former World Health Organization (WHO) cabinet director and executive director for noncommunicable diseases and mental health where he was deeply involved with the development of the world’s treaty on tobacco control, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).

At the forefront of global debate, hear Dr. Yach discuss the promise of tobacco harm reduction; why the WHO appears so vehemently opposed to harm reduction strategies; and whether increasing attacks on vaping (science and policy) and the reaction to crisis (youth epidemic, EVALI, and COVID19) have increased harm due to tobacco-related disease.

“The Michigan Senate approved a six-bill package Wednesday that would impose an 18% tax on the liquid nicotine solution used in electronic cigarettes and would specifically allow individuals to sell flavored vaping products. The new legislative package, which gained the backing of the Republican-controlled Senate, would set up an enforcement and licensing system for shops that sell vaping products. It would also change the age requirement for buying tobacco and vaping products from 18 years old to 21 in state law. It would also change the age requirement for buying tobacco and vaping products from 18 years old to 21 in state law.”

“Louise Ross, former stop-smoking service manager at Leicester City Council, now a freelance smoking cessation consultant and Deputy Chair of the New Nicotine Alliance, maps out the role vaping can play in smoking cessation for the readers of Nursing Times. Louise was attempting to educate front line staff, but also conscious of the research showing that many of them hold reservations about vaping or are opposed to it entirely. “Nurses may encounter patients who have just started using vaping devices or have been using them for years. The popularity of these devices means it is worth considering how they fit into the pre- and post-operative pathway. The evidence to date has not identified any major concerns about the use of electronic cigarettes around surgery and, although vaping is not completely risk free, it carries a fraction of the risk of smoking and is helping thousands of smokers to quit and stay smoke-free. Nurses should, therefore, feel confident about encouraging patients to try or to continue with vaping, if it allows them to be smoke-free.””

“Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th), one of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s closest City Council allies, said he plans to introduce the ban at Wednesday’s City Council meeting with support from “the mayor’s leadership team.” Lightfoot said then she was unwilling to wait for President Donald Trump to follow through on his threat to propose a federal ban on flavored e-cigarettes. On Tuesday, Ald. Ray Lopez (15th) likened O’Shea’s proposal to ban only the sale of flavored tobacco products as “putting our toes in the lake without full jumping in.” “We need to fully ban e-cigarettes because menthol is a flavor. Natural is a flavor. There is such thing as a natural e-cigarette. Everything is flavored to be chemically stimulating,” Lopez said.”

Phil,

First thank you for all you do for the community. You really helped me out years ago to transition from V2 Cig-a-likes to mods and tanks. My wife and I really quit 8 years ago and used various versions of V2 Cig-a-likes for about 3 or 4 years.

Anyway I have now have three of Innokin’s new products. My wife and I both use Kroma-R mods. I also have had a Zenith Pro and just got a Ares 2 on Friday. My wife and I both also use a Vaperesso tanks that take the GT Coil line.

Both of us have gradually transitioned from MTL vapers to RDL vapors because as you and Dimi have often discussed MTL tanks got really hard to find in vape shops where we could try them out. My theory is that my vape shops primary focus was selling e-liquid and customers go through a lot more eliquid with SubOhm tanks. Not sure if that was the only reason but probably one of the larger reasons.

Zenith Pro… One of my favorite tanks of all time. It can be a pretty tight MTL and a pretty open RDL. I love the ability to start dialing things down from a air flow perspective with a 1 ohm coil so I can get use to lower wattage higher nic…which I am finding allows me to vape longer between charges and go through a lot less eliquid.

Ares 2… This is my first RTA or rebuildable of any kind. Your instructional video was OUTSTANDING and I got a usable setup done on my second try. Lesson learned cut with the grain of the cotton NOT across it : ) No good it falls apart! Would love a more open/RDL version of the Ares in the future.

Again thank you so much for everything you and Dimi do! It has been great to see and hear Jen and Wayne. Have had many a twitter conversation with Jen about getting started with mixing my own juice and Wayne’s videos have also been extremely helpful.

BTW I mixed up a batch of Pineapple Orange Freeze…with a little less WS-23. Once I finish my current tank of juice in my Ares 2 I’m going to give it a try.
