President Trump vowed to Save Vaping during his campaign last year.
Tony Abboud of VTA explains on Just the News No Noise with John Solomon that the DOJ raids threaten to destroy the domestic Vape Industry.
Here's an article I wrote about this America First vaping company that is taking on Big Tobacco's attempt to take over the industry; they're bringing the manufacturing back to the U.S. from China. Here's what you need to know - especially for most of us who aren't vapers but understand it's an important alternative to tobacco to get people off of that dangerous addiction.
“I’m the guy from Fifty Bar that wants to bring manufacturing back to America,” Owner Brady Bates told Arizona state legislators in February. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We are serious about bringing this industry to America. One step at a time. It’s a process but we are committed.
Thank you

We don’t need more panic we need real solutions. That means working with lawmakers to give a transparent view into what this industry actually stands for.
Adult access to harm reduction products, Innovation, American jobs
Appreciate @jsolomonReports@AmandaHead for having me
Nevada Senate passed a PMTA registry bill, SB 435, last night by a 17-4 vote. It now goes to the Assembly.
Session ends June 2nd. If you're a Nevada business owner and don't want to shut your business in 18 months, you better head to Carson City.

I moved my business and family from California to Austin in 2017 to escape the crushing weight of overregulation. Back then Texas stood for freedom opportunity and the American Dream.
Today I find myself heading back to Austin not to build but to defend what made this state special in the first place.
Texas used to be the gold standard. A place where the average person could take a risk build something from nothing and chase their dream without being strangled by red tape.
Small and medium sized businesses were celebrated for creating jobs and opportunity for the working class. Now we’re treated like threats to be contained while massive corporations write the rules behind closed doors.
This isn’t a woe is me post. It’s a reality check for the path America has headed down. It’s a reminder that in order to change course I must get up and do the work regardless of how large the mountain may seem.
I believe common sense and reason can win. More importantly I still believe in America!
We want to re-shore industry. Drive innovation. Get the small to medium sized business reengaged as local community employers and leaders.
To do that we need to support people for taking this risk. Not make it harder.
We are not deterred and continue to fight.
Big threat in TEXAS: Nearly 2 million adult nicotine vapers could lose access to everything but a few unpopular, cigarette-flavored products.
SB 2024—already passed by the Senate—would ban any “e-cigarette product … manufactured in China.” The language is so broad it could ban even empty devices or parts from China, not just prefilled disposables.
Altria and Reynolds support the bill and are pushing amendments to make it worse—like banning all products without PMTAs, including U.S.-made e-liquids and devices finished in America.
Session ends in one week.

Texas is now the battleground. SB 2024 would wipe out any product in the space with a single component made in China.
No matter what end of story.
The ENTIRE market is now at risk. Not limited to nicotine. We are fighting this back more details to come.
This maybe a look into the fight next year.
Over regulation is the death of innovation.
Common sense reform has to happen for the true US innovators to lead.
We shouldn’t be fighting to survive. We should be investing in long term solutions that protect healthier options for adult nicotine users.
Tech CAN get us there.
I spoke too soon.
President Trump pledged to save flavored vaping.
Today, his HHS Secretary correctly said Biden’s FDA “slow-walked” applications from responsible U.S. companies, though his definition of “responsible” is murky. (In reality, they denied millions outright *after* slow-walking them.)
He pledged to put an end to Chinese vapes with flavors that “target kids” like “watermelon”—flavors that millions of adults actually use to stay off cigarettes.
You can’t fix a broken system by recycling its worst talking points.
@itsallaruse_@DrMakaryFDA If you don't legalize products made with American consumables and setup a realistic path for more to get authorized as technology progresses, the next 'ban' will be as about as effective as the current prohibitionist policy.
Protect American small business.
Protect innovation. Bring the industry back to AMERICA.
We’ve never been against regulation it just needs to make sense.
Root out the bad actors, and let’s let common sense win.
Meetings went well this week!

Prohibition of alcohol didn’t work because it gave the organized criminals the ability to control the markets and move underground.
Right now in the vape industry we have real distribution channels, with real companies, paying real taxes, employing actual professionals.
Let’s not double down on vape prohibition.
Common sense reform can solve a lot of our problems.
Brazil’s blanket vape ban isn’t stopping people from vaping. It’s just making it less safe.
Use is up 600% since 2008, driven underground by prohibition. Now the government wants platforms to erase all vape ads. https://t.co/VP8QJ7Vxhm #harmreduction
Appreciate the time with @RepTimBurchett@timburchett yesterday.
We talked about how bad Biden policy is hurting U.S. businesses and holding back innovation in harm reduction.
It’s time for smart federal reform that supports small business, adult access and American manufacturing.
On the hill today in DC taking meetings with various members of congress and senate.
First meeting started here.
Restoring trust in the FDA means fixing the process, putting small business and real industry stakeholders at the center of reform.
