VAPING NEWS: UK [Study Concludes COVID-19 Not Associated With Vaping Status]
“In this study, the research team from the University College London, UK, highlight: 1) there is no difference found in diagnosed/suspected COVID-19 in between never, current, and ex-vapers; 2) half of the current vapers changed their vaping consumption since COVID-19; 3) motivation to quit vaping was partly related to COVID-19. This is an important study in real-time investigating the differences in diagnosed/suspected COVID-19 between vapers, ex-vapers, and never vapers, after adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, smoking status, and health conditions. It also reports changes in vaping during the COVID-19 pandemic and factors associated with these changes. The study involved 2791 UK-based adults, aged 18 and over, who completed the baseline survey of the HEBECO study between 30th April 2020 and 14th June 2020. This period covers the first national lockdown in the UK to mitigate the COVID-19 infection spread. Of the whole analytic sample (2792 participants), three quarters were never smokers and the rest were current or ex-vapers. The participants self-reported their data on sociodemographic characteristics, diagnosed/suspected COVID-19, vaping status, changes in vaping, and motivation to quit vaping since COVID-19. In conclusion, the study found that the diagnosed/suspected COVID-19 is not associated with vaping status, when assessed by self-report in a UK population sample.”

VAPING NEWS: SAN FRANCISCO [Apartment Vape Ban]
“San Francisco banned smoking and vaping of tobacco in apartments Tuesday night, but only after exempting cannabis in response to a backlash from marijuana advocates. The Board of Supervisors voted 10-to-1 to approve legislation intended to protect renters from the harms of secondhand smoke in buildings with three or more units. Yee had wanted to ban cannabis smoke as well, but couldn’t get the votes. The legislation prompted an outpouring of opposition from cannabis advocates. “Tobacco smokers unable to smoke in their apartment building can go out to the curb or find other public space,” Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said. The Department of Public Health is charged with enforcing the ban. Violators could face fines of up to $1,000 per day. A violation can not be grounds for an eviction under the terms of the legislation.”
NOTE: E-liquid vape products have been deemed as Tobacco products, even though they do not contain tobacco, and do not emit smoke

VAPING NEWS: PAYPAL [Locking Retail Vape Accounts & Delays Funds Reimbursements]
“The number of businesses impacted by the PayPal crackdown has continued to grow since we first warned of the situation in mid-November. As the volume of frozen accounts escalated, we advised companies to draw down funds or risk them being locked away. Now one of the industry’s trade bodies has issued clear guidance for businesses as yet unaffected. It seemed as though PayPal was downplaying the situation in a clear attempt to delay account owners from drawing down funds so that it would have cash on hand to meet any refund claim during the 180-day period following the freezing, prior to account closure.”

VAPING NEWS: FDA [Anti-Vaping Campaign]
“The FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products is looking for an agency partner to handle communications and advertising for its latest tobacco prevention campaign, which focuses on teens’ use of e-cigarettes. The FDA is looking for an agency to handle the latest incarnation of its youth tobacco prevention initiative, “The Real Cost”. The account could pay up to $900 million over five years. The e-cigarette prevention initiative is the fourth campaign since “The Real Cost” launched in 2014.”
BILL TARLING — The FDA’s “The Real Cost” is well known for blatantly promoting anti-vaping misinformation and fraudulent claims, and were heavily involved with the promoting of teen awareness of the popularity of JUUL, which then enticed teens to gravitated towards its usage so that regular e-liquid vape products would get blamed for the fabricated “epidemic”
