“Tobacco and vapor companies have an extra four months to file their premarket tobacco applications (PMTAs) for newly deemed tobacco products with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This past summer, District Judge Paul Grimm of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland set a May 12, 2020 deadline for companies to submit the applications to the agency, as Convenience Store News previously reported. However, on April 3, Grimm said he would agree to extend the deadline for the PMTAs to Sept. 9, according to Law360.”

“The UK E-Cigarette Research Forum (UKECRF) is an initiative developed by Cancer Research UK in partnership with Public Health England (PHE) and the UK Centre for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies (UKCTAS). Among other things, it brings together genuine experts to look at research related to vaping. UKECRF has released its latest vape research briefing, thanks to funding by Cancer Research UK (CRUK). The research briefing is part of a series of monthly updates aiming to provide an overview of new studies on electronic cigarettes. The briefings are intended for researchers, policy makers, health professionals and others who may not have time to keep up to date with new findings and would like to access a summary that goes beyond the study abstract.”

Tackling Tobacco: March 2020 Legislative & Regulatory Roundup

I just wanted to thank you again for the kit and the liquid. I went from smoking 3/4 a pack a day to 2 cigarettes a day right away. Now I am only vaping and said goodbye to the cancer sticks.

“Dr Caitlin Notley, a harm reduction expert University of East Anglia (UEA), has issued advice to smokers attempting to quit during the COVID-19 lockdown. She says, “It’s more important than ever for smokers to quit, and ex-smokers to remain smoke free.” Dr Notley leads the Addiction Research Group at UEA’s Norwich Medical School and researches tobacco smoking cessation and electronic cigarette use. She also leads a Neonatal unit Smoking Cessation intervention development study. She says that ex-smokers should resist the urge to relapse, given the likely higher COVID-19 risks for smokers, adding that those who have switched to vaping should not return to smoking. Dr Notley thinks that those who still smoke should be encouraged to switch to vaping.”

Choose Vape

“Months after numerous states reactively banned or overly regulated e-cigarettes, researchers at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy conducted a study and concluded that vaping offers significant health advantages over smokable tobacco, and that bans are an inappropriate response to a limited problem at the expense of society at large. A commonly proposed solution: a prohibition on vaping products to head off an industry in its infancy. But as the Baker Institute study makes clear, that’s a misguided plan. Just 15 percent of e-cig users of all ages never smoked cigarettes before, which means that for 85 percent of vapers, e-cigs act as a substitute for cigarettes. Given these complexities, a total ban on vaping is a rather poorly targeted measure to prevent nonsmokers from using e-cigs. Moreover, it comes at the expense of the majority of vapers who seek to improve their health by reducing or quitting smoking.”
