VAPING NEWS: DENMARK [Flavour Ban, Plain Packaging, Retail Visibility Ban, More Vape Restrictions]
“Denmark has listed notification of its intent to place harsh restrictions on vaping on the European Commission’s website. Regardless of country of origin, vapers are able to add their constructive comments to try to persuade the nation not to go down this ignorant route. Bill 2020/228/DK proposes: A display ban on vape products, not to be visible to consumers at points of sale — The manufacturer and product name must appear in a standardised way, that logos must not stand out and that the colour etc. of the packaging must be standardised — A ban on flavourings eliquids other than the taste of tobacco and menthol”

VAPING NEWS: FDA [Approves Tobacco Based Harm Reduction Products But Still Handcuffs E-liquid Vape Products]
“The FDA’s “reduced exposure” finding was a no brainer because IQOS users are exposed to far fewer carcinogenic substances than cigarette smokers. Harm reduction advocates, however, cannot be lured into complacency following this public health victory. The FDA continues to hold vaping products hostage to an onerous and confusing regulatory approval process, despite e-cigarettes being at least 95 percent safer than conventional cigarettes. The agency regularly yanks “unauthorized” products off the shelves, despite little evidence of harms posed to consumers. And bureaucrats continue to needlessly restrict flavored vapes, despite flavors playing a critical role in helping adult smokers transition away from tobacco. It makes no sense for the FDA to strictly regulate e-cigarettes as “tobacco products,” since vapes contain no tobacco. Yet agency officials continue to enforce their strict rules with a heavy hand and restrict options for smokers trying to quit. The FDA should double down on harm reduction and allow tobacco users an array of exit ramps off their deadly habits.”

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.

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
VAPING NEWS: BC, CANADA [Restrictions, Bans, Nic Cap, Taxes]
“The B.C. government says sweeping new regulations on sales and marketing of vaping products will be in full effect by the end of the summer. The new E-Substances Regulation was announced last November and caps the nicotine content in vapour pods and liquids at 20 milligrams of nicotine per millilitre, while requiring plain packaging with health warnings. It also prohibits non-nicotine or nicotine-cannabis blended vape products. Meanwhile, changes to the Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Regulation mean that flavoured products can only be sold in adult-only stores, and no advertising is permitted in public spaces like bus shelters or parks where young people gather. New retailers will be required to comply immediately with the new rules, while existing retailers will have until Sept. 15 to comply. Other parts of the province’s plan are already in effect. Beginning on Jan. 1, the provincial sales tax on vaping devices and substances jumped from seven to 20 per cent.”
