🔎🚨⚖️
AVM has just filed a formal complaint w the Senate Ethics Committee calling for an investigation into Sen. Durbin’s underhanded pattern of strong-arming FDA vaping policy. Political intimidation against what must be an impartial, scientific process must stop immediately.

[Washington Free Beacon @FreeBeacon]

Vaping is a safer & healthier alternative to smoking, public health groups—including the FDA and the CDC—say.

But 3 liberal nonprofits that claim to be devoted to public health are bankrolling a campaign to ban vape products in the U.S.

Let’s imagine that @FDATobacco Director Brian King finally grants an interview — not with a handpicked reporter but with *you*. What would be the top question you’d put to him? Answer in the replies. We’ll start.

A look back at how @TruthInitiative -- the US's largest anti-smoking group -- lost its way.

Hard to believe it has been eight years since AVA started.

Thank you to every single person and company who has supported us in our education and advocacy efforts.

We will be refocusing our efforts on voter education in the coming months. Congrats to Greg and @VaporAmerican!

Here we have @American_Heart researchers lumping 41 vapers into a cohort with 2,000+ smokers in order to further smear an activity they personally hate.

Read Greg's thread. Then ask @FDATobacco why they fund this junk, and @PLOSONE why they publish it.

[Paul Blair @gopaulblair]

Years ago, tobacco control actually killed bills in Michigan to impose 18+ sales restrictions simply because those bills did not include massive new onerous taxes. I wrote about it in 2018, as the industry led the effort to prevent sales to minors.

Smart taxation is pivotal to reducing the harms of #tobacco. Those who propose taxing #ecigs the same as #cigarettes are making a grave mistake.

A new study published in @AddictionJrnl is a must read for any policymaker who believes tax hikes on vaping products won't lead to increases in cigarette smoking.

Kudos to Yale's Abigail Friedman and GSU's @mikepesko for following the science.

“Many clinicians tell me, ‘I had a patient who couldn’t quit with anything until this came along,’” says Cheryl Healton, the dean of @NYUPublicHealth.

She and other health advocates want @FDATobacco to change its review process.

FDA vs. millions of adults who want a product and face no criminal penalties for finding a market to serve them.

I think I know who I'm taking in this bet.

"Something is wrong with the way the Center for Tobacco Products is seeking to regulate vaping products. Unless the FDA changes its ways, its legal losses will mount. And in the meantime, public health will suffer." - @jadler1969

[The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction @GlobalStateTHR]

Talking about the significance of the arrival of #SaferNicotine products, after reviewing the evidence in 2015, former @WHO cabinet director, Derek Yach (@swimdaily) says:

"We'd never before had a technology opportunity to bring the deaths down."

"The FDA considers itself uninfluenced by these incentives, but the 2009 law it follows was lobbied through Congress by interests with a stake in continued smoking." -- @HolmanJenkins, writing in today's Wall Street Journal

You've got about a week to support AVM's request for FDA enforcement discretion on bottled synthetic nicotine e-liquids.

It takes about 20 seconds to do if you use the CASAA call to action linked in the article.

[American Vaping Assn @AVABoard]

The editorial board of the @OCRegister comes out swinging against the California flavored nicotine ban, which excludes pipe tobacco, hookah, and high-end cigars.

"To protect our health, California’s lawmakers are trying to ban the safest products."
