“Directors of public health in London have joined others in urging those working with adult smokers to encourage them to swap cigarettes for vapes to help them stop smoking. The London Tobacco Alliance, a partnership created to accelerate efforts to eliminate smoking in London, has published its position on the use of nicotine vapes as an aid to help adults quit smoking. The statement also supports recently announced measures to make vaping less accessible and appealing to children. The alliance, which includes the London Association of Directors of Public Health (ADPH), argues that alongside free behavioural support and licensed stop smoking aids, nicotine vapes play a ‘significant role’ in reducing the harm caused by tobacco.”

“Vaping has surged in U.K. prisons since a smoking ban went into effect in 2017 (in England and Wales). In the 2021–2022 financial year, prisoners spent close to £8 million on vapor products. Prisoners have access to vapes as well as nicotine-replacement therapy. While the surge in vaping has been positive in terms of harm reduction, the abrupt change has had its challenges. With the prohibition of smoking in prisons came illicit cigarettes and trading/selling other personal property, including meals, in order to obtain cigarettes. Despite this, the number of prisoners who have turned to vaping and stuck with it is promising. “The fact that many people have access to vaping products is welcome news from a tobacco harm reduction perspective,” said Debbie Robson, senior lecturer in tobacco harm reduction at King’s College London. “Great progress has been made in creating a smoke-free prison estate despite doubting it was achievable given the high smoking rates in prison settings.” Robson speaks with formerly incarcerated individuals while conducting research, and many have expressed that their first vaping experiences were in prison, and “some have stayed smoke-free ever since.””

Could the U.S. vaping industry be on the verge of a breakthrough in its legal battle with the FDA?
The prospects are tantalizing. A recent ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court slammed the FDA over its shifting guidance and moving goalposts.

Creating what the court says is a likely unlawful de facto ban on flavored nicotine vaping products. The decision is an eye-popper.

Joining us today to talk through developments in the Fifth Circuit and to outline a potential path to the Supreme Court, is attorney and well-known vaping advocate Greg Troutman.

FDA’s single-minded focus on protecting youth from nicotine vaping products over the well-being of adult smokers is finally undergoing severe scrutiny. Recently a panel of Fifth Circuit judges, joining other courts across the country, took FDA to task for what it calls an unlawful de facto ban on flavored e-cigarettes.

But the courts are not alone in grilling the agency over its shifting criteria and moving the goalposts for approval of vaping products in the U.S.

Joining us today is Allison Boughner, vice president at American Vapor Manufacturers. This non-profit organization recently hosted a frustrating yet revealing live interview with Dr. Brian King, the new director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products.

The Quebec provincial government’s plan to ban flavours in nicotine vaping products appears out of step with the science on vaping and runs in stark contrast with the UK government’s astonishing new plan to provide 1 million smokers a free vaping starter kit to help smokers in England to quit for good.

Joining us today with reaction from the UK on Quebec’s proposed flavour ban is Louise Ross, a clinical consultant at UK’s National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training, the business development manager for the Smoke Free app, and chair for the New Nicotine Alliance, a registered charity dedicated to promoting issues around tobacco harm reduction.
