The OHVTA is dedicated to creating a sensible & responsible e-cigarette market by providing education, advocacy communication and research to community leaders.
@berniemoreno Is running for US Senator for Ohio opposite @SenSherrodBrown
One supports vape for adults transitioning from cigarettes, one does not! OHVTA will be meeting with Bernie Moreno to get more details!
The Ohio House @OHRGOPCaucus has voted to override the Governor's veto on local vaping flavor ban preemption!
This is a huge win! It now moves to the @OhioSenateGOP Senate for concurrence.
We hope the Senate will come back into session soon!
Huge win or adult vapers in Ohio!
As an organization, we can unequivocally say that vapor products, all vapor products, are SAFER than their combustible counterparts.
Vaping is safer than smoking! If you smoke, you should quit. If you don't want, or can't, quit smoking, you should try vaping!
New publication from @jadler1969
"Allowing manufacturers to educate consumers about relative risks.... helps increase consumer knowledge. Barring ENDS manufacturers from explaining the relative health benefits of their products makes as much sense as prohibiting car makers from advertising about auto safety. In the case of tobacco products, excessive (and arguably unconstitutional) constraints on speech are compromising public health."

As does every other misguided prohibitionist, Ms. Dorr seems to forget that when 45% of Americans smoked in 1954 the only flavors available were "tobacco" and "menthol." If flavors really are to blame now, then why did so many MORE kids "get hooked" then?

On November 9, Councilmember @sdfavor will hold a public hearing to discuss potential regulation on the sale of Flavored Tobacco in Columbus. Columbus Public Health's proposed legislation. This legislation is now live for residents to see at https://t.co/WFtW672nXK.
Everyone needs to make sure that they are reading the proposal and submitting good feedback to @ColumbusCouncil via the email address!!! This is super important.

@ColumbusCouncil We look forward to continue working with Council members on this bill.
There are a number of ideas and viewpoints that should, and can, be accounted for with a proposed flavor ban!
No one should have to care about the origin of nicotine in low-risk nicotine products. It is only an issue because @FDAtobacco has utterly failed as a nicotine regulator. EU is far from perfect but has (so far) managed not to destroy its industry or drive vapers back to smoking.
🚨NATIONAL CALL TO ACTION!🚨
Anti-vaping lawmakers have slipped language into the 2022 Omnibus Budget Bill that would be a near-immediate ban on the thousands of low risk e-liquids and smoke-free products that contain synthetic nicotine. TAKE ACTION NOW!

President Biden wants to end cancer… may I suggest taking safer nicotine alternatives seriously? Cancer caused by smoking is totally avoidable, the main obstacle is currently the FDA and Bloomberg Philanthropies. #SOTU
I don’t know that depriving millions of smokers of a 95% safer alternative gets you the fast pass to heaven… kinda seems like the opposite 🤷♀️ @MikeBloomberg
Ahem, Mitch Zeller @FDATobacco@US_FDA, the letter you got from Mr. Bloomberg’s paid agents is filled with errors and ridiculous omissions. We fixed it for you:

We can now offer $1,200 to @ParentsvsVape, @truthinitiative@TobaccoFreeKids or ANYONE who can provide proof of even 1 death EVER caused by nicotine vapor over the past 20 years, out of 68 million adult vapers.
NOTE: Over the past 20 years, SMOKING killed >120 million people.
5/5 As James & Jeff step down, OHVTA will welcome back two familiar faces, Scott Eley and Frank Cahall will resume their roles as Pres & VP respectfully. Scott & Frank originated these roles and along with a few others were instrumental in starting OHVTA nearly 8 years ago.
1/5 As 2021 ends OHVTA would like to announce changes to the board and leadership of the Association that were voted on by members earlier this month. For the past 5 years @jjarvis01 has led OHVTA through some of the most challenging times the vapor industry has faced.
4/5 @jjarvis01 was also involved in federal issues, traveling to DC many times to meet with congressional members and other federal officials. He also was asked to participate in research initiatives and working with a coalition on youth vaping.
