VAPING NEWS: JUUL [Wants To Block Clones, Refillable Pods, & Black Market Versions]
“Juul Labs Inc. launched an aggressive legal campaign to halt what it calls a “seemingly endless stream” of black market cartridges for its e-cigarettes. The vaping company filed a patent-infringement complaint at the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, naming more than four dozen companies it says are importing copycat cartridges for the e-cigarettes. It’s seeking a blanket order that would block imports of any unauthorized cartridges. “This new ITC action, if successful, would provide the additional public benefit of helping rid the market of unauthorized Juul-compatible products that can be modified by the user, such as empty and refillable pods, or those containing substances such as THC for which the Juul system was not designed,” Juul said in a statement.”

From Dean
Phil and Dimi love watching the smoker show, just by chance I found it on youtube. My journey started about two years ago. Walking up a set of stairs started to become difficult. I tried quitting multiple times with different methods, the pills, gum and patches. So one day my friend and myself went into a local vape shop, neither one of us knowing anything about vaping. They sold us DL kits with 3mg nic. He went back to smoking and I picked up a Vype in a gas station about two years ago. My friend is still smoking and I’m still vaping. I left the vype behind and now I’m using an innokin Zenith Pro on a Kroma R. I’ve learned a lot watching your Smoker’s show. I want to thank both you and Dimi for what you do for smokers very much appreciated.

VAPING NEWS: UK [Vaping Is A Valuable Quit Smoking Tool]
“The UK vaping industry, estimated to be worth more than £1 billion to the economy, can be a valuable partner in helping to deliver on the Government’s objectives and address the smoking cessation plateau. Regulators and health experts in the UK have already acknowledged that vaping could play a crucial role in reducing smoking rates, providing smokers with an effective tool to quit altogether. During my time as Public Health Minister, we laid out its plan for adopting a harm reduction strategy, aimed at maximising smoking cessation among adults and minimising uptake by young people. To encourage smokers to try vaping, they need to have confidence that the products they choose are safe. Greater efforts must also be made to inform the public about the benefits of vaping and how it has already helped thousands of people to reduce their tobacco use.”
NOTE: Steve Brine is a former Public Health Minister, and is MP for Winchester.

VAPING NEWS: HAYWARD, CALIFORNIA [Flavor Ban]
“On Tuesday, the City Council unanimously voted to eliminate the sale of flavored tobacco and vaping items, plus the paraphernalia that goes with them. Some business owners said making the city’s ordinance stricter will make it difficult for them to operate because they will have fewer products to offer. There are 119 places in the city where tobacco can be purchased, mostly at convenience stores and gas stations. The changes still must come back before the council for a second reading and confirmation vote.”

VAPING NEWS: NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA [Criminalising Vapers]
“Canadian province Nova Scotia has published a ridiculous list of prohibitions on vaping products – criminalising most vapers in the process. It was celebrated in the media by calls for legislators to go even further. In Tax Information Bulletin 5111, notice is given of amendments to the Revenue Act and Revenue Act Regulations – Prohibitions on Vaping Products. As of 12:01 am, September 15, “there will be limitations on the possession, sale and transfer of Vaping Products.” With the new tax of Can$0.50 per millilitre being applied, Nova Scotians will now be paying an additional £30 [$50 CDN] for a 100ml bottle.”

Vapor products can save lives by helping smokers quit – By Dimitris Agrafiotis
Another well done article by my pal Dimitris which has been published on tennessean.com.
Vapor products can save lives by helping smokers quit
There is no doubt in my mind that vaping has saved my life. I was a heavy smoker for many years before switching to safer vaping products. This is why I find the continued misinformation around vaping so alarming: because there are 34 million tobacco smokers in this country and hundreds of thousands dying each year from smoking-related illnesses.
