*Guest: Cliff Douglas, Former VP, Tobacco Control, American Cancer Society
It is a horribly one-sided battle, public health’s war against safer nicotine products such as vaping, heated tobacco products, and oral snus.
After decades of hammering the message that smokers must quit or they will die, public health and the tobacco control community are now trying to eradicate the very products millions use to successfully quit smoking. The War on Vaping seems illogical and intractable, why is that?
Joining us today to answer this question and more is tobacco control insider Cliff Douglas, Adj. Prof. at University Michigan School of Public Health, and former Vice President of Tobacco Control at the American Cancer Society.
Douglas says the mainstream tobacco control community lost its way and it’s time to end the misinformation and vitriol directed towards vaping and tobacco harm reduction.

It’s hard to believe it could happen in Canada, a government assault on one’s right to speak freely, to share information, and to engage in the operation of a lawful business without fear of penalty or fine.
It’s even harder to believe this is not a reference to the ongoing challenges resulting from the 2020 pandemic. No. These are the words RegWatch first used in February of 2016 to describe the Quebec provincial government’s draconian measures in its maniacal war to eradicate vaping.
Joining us on RegWatch to unpack the War on Vaping and the Fight to Save Flavours in Canada is John Xydous, owner of 4 vape shops in Quebec and regional director for the Canadian Vaping Association, and David Levesque founding partner at Digital Smoke Supplies instrumental vaping activist.

For everyone, there’s nothing in life more certain than death and taxes. Yet if you are a smoker the risk of death and pain of taxation increases by orders of magnitude, often thanks to ill-conceived government action. Case-in-point the United States of America and the growing hostility towards safer nicotine products, such as vaping.
In just a few short years anti-vaping campaigns, flavor bans and punitive tax measures have pushed countless vapers back to smoking; during a time when government professes a duty to keep the public safe.
Joining us today to talk about the U.S. approach to vaping and its macabre commitment to death and taxes is the writer, researcher and vape activist Lindsey Stroud, from the Taxpayers Protection Alliance.

In one way or another, every conversation we bring you about vaping is a conversation about nicotine. Whether it be regulations, the latest media scare, or a promising piece of new science, nicotine looms large over all the issues. Without nicotine, there would be no smoking and, of course, no need for safer nicotine products.
Joining us today on RegWatch is Paddy Costall, a global tobacco harm reduction advocate and co-organizer of the 8th Annual Global Forum on Nicotine. Hear about the issues and challenges tackled in this year’s event held online and in Liverpool, England, on June 17th and 18th.

At times it can be quite maddening trying to sort out the reasoning behind public health’s opposition to tobacco harm reduction. Now it’s true not everyone within public health opposes THR products, such as vaping and smokeless tobacco, but for those who do, they seem to hold all the power.
Joining us for the first time on RegWatch is Dr. Lynn T. Kozlowski, Prof of Community Health and Health Behavior at the University at Buffalo, School of Public Health and Health Professions. Kozlowski is an internationally recognized expert on tobacco use, e-cigarettes, and nicotine policy, and he’s the former head of Behavioral Research on Tobacco at the Addiction Research Foundation, Ontario.
What’s the primary moral reaction towards vaping by harm reductionists within public health?

It’s astonishing to witness how swift the Canadian vaping industry’s fortunes have changed following the legalization and regulation of vapour products in 2018. After experiencing explosive growth and successfully navigating the complexities of a newly enacted regulatory regime, the Canadian vaping industry now faces destruction.
Turmoil over the so-called youth vaping “epidemic” and reputational damage done by a smear campaign that falsely implicated nicotine vaping as having caused an “outbreak” of a mysterious lung illness is responsible for sowing doubt and mistrust with the regulator and the public.
Joining us today on RegWatch is Saadiq Daya, the CEO of Canadian e-liquid manufacturer VanGo Vapes. Hear his assessment of Health Canada’s regulatory management and what he fears most about the pending restriction on nicotine levels and potential national flavour ban.

“Show yourself and your conflicts” is the call from Dr. Roberto Sussman, an advocate for consumers of non-combustible nicotine products in Mexico and Latin America, to the billionaire philanthropist, and anti-vaping crusader, Michael Bloomberg.
To an extraordinary extent, Bloomberg influences public health policymaking within numerous countries, at multiple levels of government, via a complex network of non-profit organizations in which he funds.
Dr. Sussman says it’s time to unmask the motivations behind Bloomberg’s abstinence-only, prohibitionist stance on low-risk nicotine products and expose his paternalistic, anti-democratic treatment of low and middle-income countries.
