@RealDonaldTrump understands that voters want flavored vapes. That’s why we launched a million-dollar ad campaign to urge him to protect American vape businesses and millions of adult vapers by keeping their favorite flavored products on the shelves.
Michael Bloomberg is back with another warning about vaping.
But the FDA’s latest draft guidance is not some radical “about-face.” It is a modest step that could eventually give adult smokers more access to lower-risk alternatives.

SUGGESTION: Tell the truth about what CDC/FDA surveys actually show. It could be the scoop of your career because NO ONE in the entire f*ing US media is doing that. ...Which is strange. VERY strange.

@healthgovau SMOKING is harmful to health. Quitting is beneficial. All the following agree nicotine vapes (a) help adults quit smoking and (b) are SAFER than cigarettes:
- IMF
- UK Royal College of Physicians
- Director, National Institute on Drug Abuse
- 15 past-Presidents of SRNT
- US FDA
Big win in AZ! VTA was proud to support HB 4001 – legislation that protects our industry across the state, provides regulatory clarity, and protects adult consumer choice.
Thank you, @GovernorHobbs, for protecting Arizonans’ freedom to vape.
Youth vaping policies might harm adult well-being. Research suggests adults and teens may switch to e-cigarettes, potentially increasing cigarette use. Regulation should align with risk, not fear. #Vaping#PublicHealth
Last week, VTA’s Executive Director, Tony Abboud, was featured on @stevegrubershow.
He talked about the need for regulatory reform, the science comparing vaping and smoking, and his hope that policy change is coming soon.

What percentage of US High School students do you believe were using e-cigarettes or nicotine pouches or cigarettes regularly (20 or more out of the past 30 days) in 2025? Guess for each one then look at the graph below for the actual percentages. https://t.co/WZiNcirZw0
VTA’s Executive Director, Tony Abboud, was featured in new reporting from @Bloomberg's @nyahphengsitthy.
“The draft guidance basically puts in black and white the same misguided policy,” Tony Abboud, executive director of the Vapor Technology Association, said in an interview. “It is clearly the wrong direction for the FDA, as well as a failure in attempting to fulfill the president’s promise to save vaping.”
