@GregTHR If true, would it set a precedent that the 2009 tobacco act unintentionally forces other manufacturers to use technology owned by one company to get approved? Giving JUUL the ability actively enforce federal tobacco law within the vapor market? ‘Merica
Wait, @SteveFDA requires every small vape company to pay for, do the research & develop the evidence on their own for their PMTAs.
But @US_FDA is offering to do it all for free for small premium cigar makers in a process that will take years. Something is very wrong here.
Two years in a row @jaredpolis at the last minute of the state session had cut small vapor businesses out of the conversation on tax bills. This year he made a deal with the devil. Today he got cute and acted like it didn’t happen. Never again will I vote for this man.
@jaredpolis It’s not all Big Tobacco Governor. There are a lot of small business owners in your state that are harmed by 11th hour bills, that your office decided to only consult with Altria about. You know Altria, the biggest tobacco company in the US. The one you negotiated the tax with.
In the middle of a pandemic that has changed the world, small and medium-sized e-liquid manufacturers across the country are trying to comply with the FDA's September PMTA deadline, but time is running low and many fear they will miss it and be put out of business.
Time to acknowledge vaping is effective cessation method @JeromeAdams
"Considering the projected increase in the population of cancer survivors in the US, urgent action is needed to increase cigarette smoking cessation rates in this high-risk population."

Help needed! @RoyBlunt We are working on a packaging system that could help small businesses file for the PMTA electronic. Please ask the FDA for a very small 90 day extension in light of the COVID crisis we are doing the very best we can. @realDonaldTrump@parscale@SteveFDA
Adults using flavored e-cigarette products are 2.3x more likely to quit smoking combustible cigarettes than adults using non-flavored vaping products. #SaveFlavorsPhoenix
RT @CraigLavelle2: On Sept 10, 2020 all Vape shops are set to CLOSE if PMTA’s are not reformed!! WHAT WILL YOU DO??? Fix the PMTA’s! 98 Days to Election ! We Vape We Vote !! @realDonaldTrump@POTUS@KellyannePolls
A prohibition on flavors in vaping products will only lead to the closure of local businesses, increased cigarette smoking rates, and the creation of dangerous black markets. #SaveFlavorsPhoenix For more information visit: https://t.co/7puIsNUXXa
SB 810 would remove $605 million from Florida's economy. With many Floridians struggling to cope with the economic fallout of the pandemic, this bill could very well be the final blow to 800 businesses in the state and 4,500+ employees. @GovRonDeSantis we urge you to #VetoSB810
Why should @GovRonDeSantis VETO SB 810?
It will cause hundreds of thousands of Floridians to go back to smoking.
It will destroy small businesses all over the state.
It will cost Florida $1.4B in economic activity.
It will kill nearly 11k jobs in FL.
#VetoSB810@FLsmokefree
SB 810 is the wrong solution for Florida. A flavor ban will only penalize adults who use flavored vapor products to stop smoking cigarettes and drive them back to smoking. The data shows this is true. #VetoSB810@GovRonDeSantis@FLsmokefree
Non-tobacco flavored vapor products are 2.3x more effective than tobacco flavored products at helping adults quit smoking. @GovRonDeSantis Please look at the science and VETO SB810. SB810 takes away the most effective form of tobacco harm reduction in history. #VetoSB810
