With the implementation this week of Nova Scotia’s new vaping product tax it’s become clear the province is determined to destroy the industry, forcing thousands of vapers back to smoking.
The new tax is not only draconian but cruel as the end result is that smoking in the province of Nova Scotia is now more financially viable than vaping.
In this episode of RegWatch, Nova Scotia vape shop owner Margaret Preston walks viewers through the new tax and shares correspondence with government compliance officers as she seeks clarification in her struggle to keep her business afloat.

*Guest: Sam Tam, President of the Canada Vaping Association - In July, when the B.C. provincial government enacted new rules and regulations governing the sale of vaping products in the province, it gave retailers until September 15 to sell off non-compliant product and adjust inventories to meet the new B.C. (specific) packaging and device specifications.
With the deadline only days away, the industry is waiting for the B.C. provincial government to provide critical clarifications that promise to ease compliance burdens and to harmonize the new rules with existing federal government regulations under the TVPA.
In this episode of RegWatch, we are joined by Sam Tam, President of the Canadian Vaping Association to discuss what the industry needs in order to navigate the new regulatory environment and to learn what critical clarifications the province has indicated it might deliver before the deadline.

*Guest: Dimitris Agrafiotis, Exec. Dir. Tennessee Smoke Free Association, @VapinGreek - It’s only been one day since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s anti-vaping regulation went into effect and already the FDA has informed some stakeholders that their Premarket Tobacco Applications have been received and accepted for review by the regulator.
Is there truly a glimmer of hope for the survival of the U.S. vaping industry or do vapers have a dark future to face?
If there’s anyone who might know the answers, it’s Dimitris Agrafiotis a.k.a. the VapinGreek. He’s a globally known vaping advocate and executive director of the Tennessee Smoke Free Association. If you’re looking for frank talk and piercing analysis, we’ve got it in this episode of RegWatch.

*Guests: Tristan Thompson and Sherwin Mena, United Vapers Alliance
For the second time in less than a year, vapers are set to descend on Washington, DC to call on President Trump to intervene and put a stop to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s industry killing Premarket Tobacco Application Process.
The rally is scheduled for September 5th, just 4-days before the PMTA deadline and organizers hope a strong showing by advocates and grassroots vapers will pressure politicians to “do the right thing” and support flavored vaping products as a tool for harm reduction.
In this episode of RegWatch we are joined by Tristan Thompson and Sherwin Mena from the United Vapers Alliance. Hear the plans for the coming rally, learn how you can make a difference, and ask the organizers questions in advance of the big day.

Armageddon for the U.S. vaping industry is fast approaching, and all hopes for a reprieve from the Trump administration are all but dashed. What if anything is happening behind the scenes to save the industry? What will become of the 150,000 jobs, the 11,000 small businesses, the thousands of manufactures, and the millions of vapers when the FDA’s PMTA deadline passes on September 9th?
Joining us today on RegWatch is Paul Blair, a policy strategist for the conservative-based advocacy group Americans for Tax Reform and vocal supporter of vaping as a tool for harm reduction.
Are anti-vaping forces sentencing hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people to a painful, premature death by smoking? Find out!
