FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Just Science? | Plain Talk About the Effort to Demonize Vaping | RegWatch (Live)
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:
*Guest: Prof. John Britton, Former Chair Royal College of Physicians Tobacco Advisory Group
Smoking kills and so does denying smokers opportunities to quit. While stark, this message is dripping with common sense and is a perspective found lacking in tobacco control research and public health.
But not all public health systems are bereft of such ways of seeing. The UK has taken a global lead in seeking to capitalize on the potential benefits of vaping as a tool for harm reduction. And a cabal of careful researchers and tier-one organizations have been leading the charge.Today on RegWatch we are joined by John Britton, Professor of Epidemiology, University of Nottingham, and the former Chair of the Royal College of Physicians Tobacco Advisory Group. In 2016, Britton shepherded to publication RCP’s ground-breaking 200-page report titled “Nicotine without Smoke,” which emphatically stated that the risks of vaping are small and the benefits are great.
Join us for a deep dive into the science on vaping; an examination public health policies on vaping since the report; a hard look at anti-vaping opponents, the mainstream media, and the recent scares over the teen vaping epidemic and vaping-related lung-illness.
And also, for a discussion about COVID19 and its impact on healthcare, the proportionality of the response, and the emerging new evidence that nicotine could have a role in protecting people from the virus.

VAPING NEWS: FDA [PMTA Guidance]
“To help manufacturers navigate the PMTA process, FDA has finalized a guidance on how to complete it as correctly, efficiently, and cost-effectively as possible. Prior to finalizing this guidance, FDA had issued a draft guidance for ENDS manufacturers in May 2016. While the final version is very similar to the draft, there are a few significant changes that are important to know before submitting a PMTA. These changes have been primarily made to further explain the types of information that may help FDA determine if marketing a proposed new tobacco product would be appropriate for the protection of public health.”

FROM REGULATOR WATCH – What New Normal? | Vape Bans, Junk Science & Demonization | RegWatch (Live)
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:
We hear incessantly about the “new normal” imposed on society by public health in its response to the COVID19 pandemic. But when it comes to vaping in America, is the public health response really new, or is it a doubling-down on the same only dirty tactics deployed to destroy the industry?
In this episode of RegWatch we’re joined by Dino Baccari Founder & President of White Horse Vapor in Providence, Rhode Island. Brash and insightful, Dino is going to share his thoughts on a wide range of issues affecting local vape shop owners around the country; what’s been the real impact of COVID19 on vaping; how he thinks anti-vaping forces have capitalized on the pandemic; and his advice for regulatory relief which may indeed lead to a “new normal.”Only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com

VAPING NEWS: UK [Call For End Of Anti-Vaping Misinformation]
“Public Health England (PHE) released its evidence update on vaping just over a month ago, providing a warning that misinformation is causing a problem and preventing smokers from switching to vaping. The UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA) has amplified the call for honesty when discussion tobacco harm reduction. PHE launched the evidence update by stating its advice remained the same: that smokers should switch to e-cigarettes to help them quit smoking, but non-smokers should not take up vaping.”

VAPING NEWS: JUUL [Leaving EU Market]
“Juul is preparing to leave five European countries within the year. The e-cigarette maker is reportedly planning to pull out of Austria, Belgium, Portugal and Spain in July followed by France at the end of the year. Austria’s, Belgium’s and Portugal’s markets are apparently too small in the first place. Juul enjoys relatively high sales in Spain and France compared to the rest of the continent, but not high enough to justify the costs of running a business there and the trouble of dealing with regulators. The European Union has stringent requirements when it comes to e-cigarette products, as the publication notes, requiring companies to stick to a nicotine limit of 20 milligrams per milliliter of fluid. Meanwhile, a single Juul pod can contain up to 59 milligrams of nicotine per milliliter in the US.”

VAPING NEWS: ANTI-VAPERS MADE COVID-19 WORSE
“Anti-vaping activist groups continue to use the coronavirus crisis to advance their goal of restricting — or even completely banning — the use of vapor products. They argue that vapers are at higher risk of harm from COVID-19. However, the available evidence indicates the opposite: If they had worked to convince more smokers to switch to e-cigarettes, there might be fewer coronavirus-related deaths today. That’s the view of Dr. Michael Siegel, professor of community health sciences at the Boston University School of Public Health.”
