“An $11.3 billion settlement agreement from 1997 between Florida government and a group of tobacco companies was in the spotlight Tuesday when the Fourth District Court of Appeal considered whether R.J. Reynolds should continue paying millions of dollars a year for cigarette brands it no longer owns.”

BILL TARLING — If the courts decide to nullify the payments, it could potentially set a precedence where Big Tobacco companies might simply start either selling off some old lines, or simply rebranding them to tie up courts with claims that the sold lines or ‘new name’ lines should not be subject to MSA payments. Even if it wouldn’t release them from their obligations, it could feasibly tie up the payments long enough to strain State budgets — who, in turn, would likely push to increase taxes on e-liquid vapor products to compensate for the delayed tobacco revenue. Big Tobacco wouldn’t need to win additional claims, they could try outlasting the States with legal claims and lawsuits.

#SmokersWanted

“The city of Mesa on Tuesday began enforcing its new regulations regarding vaping in public. The ordinance was approved by the City Council in December and includes vaping within the city’s existing tobacco regulations. Mesa residents are no longer permitted to vape within city facilities, certain public places and places of employment. The new policies do not prohibit residents from purchasing vaping materials, nor are vaping shops with proper ventilation required to alter their practices.”

“Vaping advocates are pushing back in federal court against a newly enacted Palmdale city ordinance banning the sale of flavored e-cigarette products. The suit, filed by the California Smoke & Vape Association and tobacco retailer Cigs Plus against the city, alleges the law is “overbroad” and will “destroy Palmdale’s nicotine vapor product industry, and damage the livelihoods of the workers that it employs.” The Los Angeles federal court complaint, filed Sunday, also contends that the ordinance “will likely precipitate a public health crisis, as vapor products users turn either to combustible cigarettes or to black market sources to obtain vapor tobacco products.””

MIND-BENDING HYPOCRISY | Unpacking the ‘Maniacal’ War on Vaping | RegWatch (Live)
*Guest: Phil Busardo, celebrated YouTube show co-host and vape reviewer

Over the years the anti-vaping movement honed the tactics of creating mayhem and misery for those who rely on vaping as a tool for harm reduction. For vapers, wading through lies and half-truths has long been the daily norm. Yet the mendacity seems to be getting worse, as ideologues in the war on vaping capitalize on recent health scares to plot new attacks intended to stamp-out vaping for good.

In this episode of RegWatch we are joined by Phil Busardo, celebrated YouTube show co-host and prolific vape reviewer. Hear Busardo share his aggravation over the mind-bending hypocrisy of the anti-vaping movement and learn what he thinks could be a winning strategy for vaping.

“Thomas Miller, Attorney General of Iowa, has published a paper in the American Journal of Public Health, where he argues the need to focus on the whole of public health rather than fixating on subgroups such as teens or adults. In it, he calls out the deceptions of the anti-vaping, anti-harm reduction campaigners. “There is confusion, misinformation, misdirection, and even outright deception crowding out balance,” Miller begins. He states that “perspective is paramount to understand the vaping issue.” With America all too frequently fixating on supposed teen epidemics, Millar says that an answer to tobacco-related harm will never be found. A preoccupation with youth or adults will, he adds, only result in “surefire [sic] ways to create bad public policy and harm Americans”.”
