Wonderful insight from Dr. Glover covering her 30+ year career in tobacco control, her well deserved apology from the Public Health Association of New Zealand (PHA), and facts about many things including suspicions of tactics used against us over the years.

“Findings suggest that the risk of relapse to cigarette smoking is low, and e-cigarette-related dependence remains stable in long-term e-cigarette users.”

A Randomized Trial of E-Cigarettes versus Nicotine-Replacement Therapy

The e-cigarette group reported greater declines in the incidence of cough and phlegm production from baseline to 52 weeks than did the nicotine-replacement group NOTE: Funded by the National Institute for Health Research and Cancer Research UK.

Marewa Glover Gets an Apology

“They want to silence me.” ~ Dr. Glover.

This woman is important to YOU. As consumers, we are very fortunate in the internet age to have the opportunity to engage with professionals.

While *most* professionals feel the *gasp* the public, is beneath them, we are, as consumers, very lucky to have some who will engage.

They face much heavier scrutiny from their peers (rightly so), BUT this shows, among other things, the risks those professionals are taking, and the results of telling the truth about harm reduction.

Thank you for standing UP, Dr. Marewa Glover.

Understanding A “Temporary” Vaping Ban

WE, The People

October 3, 2019 Vaping Links 2 Comments

October 1st, Columbus, Ohio Statehouse rally.

Consumers: WE, the people.

That’s YOU.

Over the past few years I’ve seen and heard variations of “we should go to Washington and hold a rally.” Well, ~~dear fellow consumer~~ we, the people, it is beyond time. Suddenly, when President Trump tweeted about vaping, we are IN the national spotlight.

Now is the time for we, the people to come together in one voice – and make our presence known in our nation’s capital. Millions have bravely gone before us, now it is our turn.

“Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”.

What does that mean to we, the people? As long as you’re of legal age, smoke if you like. Or don’t. To me, it means freedom of choice of a less harmful alternative to smoking.. and that includes flavors.

Dateline: December 16, 1773, BOSTON.

Boston Tea Party

I’m confident American small business owners and consumers alike are familiar with the history that helped frame the foundation of the United States.

Enraged by control, taxation, tyranny, and demanding freedom – the Sons of Liberty (merchants/small business owners) decided, defiantly, to throw themselves a tea party in the Boston Harbor. They became #louder.

Before this, boycotts and smuggling – black market – tea was prominent.

Now replace the word tea – with cigarettes. Next, replace the words “No taxation without representation” with “less — harmful — products“.

October 1st, concerned citizen from Akron attending the Columbus, Ohio rally.

This is our “Boston Tea Party”.

Despite efforts to circumvent ~~the movement~~ we, the people, vaping products are removing cigarette tax revenue from the government. That’s what small businesses and ~~consumers~~ we, the people, are doing. This is our “Boston Tea Party”.

#WashingtonDC. Harm reduction. We the people. November 9th.

#Louder.

Who

The United Vapers Alliance (UVA) was formed as a 501(c)(4) organization earlier this year. The sole intent is to educate the public and politicians regarding the benefits of harm reduction via vapor products, and the right to keep flavors on the market as a consumer choice.

Why:

Because the government is WRONG. Our messaging needs to be clear, simple, peaceful, and united. Consumers, we the people’s rights are being infringed, restricted, and may possibly be extinguished by government actions and policy all over the nation. The time for silence is over. The time to be heard is NOW. For too long, we have waited for our politicians to do the right thing. No more.

“So whether or not we choose to believe the FDA’s stated intent to entertain the re-introduction of flavored vapes at a later date, this is, at least, a de facto permanent prohibition for smaller operators.” Source

THOUSANDS of citizens like Susan Ripley (below), have created small businesses, creating jobs by investing in this life-changing technology. Now they are fighting for their rights – along with ours.

Image may contain: 1 person, smiling, standing, crowd and outdoor — October 1st, Columbus, Ohio rally.
Photo courtesy Susan Ripley.

How:

United Vapers Alliance will LOUDLY inform Congress and the FDA, that if they do NOTHING, 99% of all vape products will be removed from the market by May, 2020. United Vapers Alliance will fight for the right to live a less harmful lifestyle and see OUR children grow.

We are an estimated thirteen+ (13+) million strong, with families and friends who have seen the positive change that vapor products have provided. If our politicians will not listen to ~~our voices~~ we, the people, then our voices will be heard at the ballot box this 2020 election.

Together, consumers will rally with ONE voice, ONE mission, ONE message, and will shake the very foundations of power in Washington D.C..

When and where

WASHINGTON, D.C.

When: November 9, 2019: 12p-4pm
Where: The Ellipse @ 1450 Pennsylvania Ave NW – WASHINGTON, D.C.

This Washington, D.C. voyage has the same importance for me personally as my trip to Milwaukee did. This is history in the making. Monumental. I want to stand beside you, the people, with some of the loudest voices representing our country, and to be heard. To change the conversation.

This country was founded on we, the people. Someone was standing up for your rights, the rights of others, and those generations who will follow. This country was founded on #louder voices. This is no different. I consider myself one who speaks for many. I hope to see you there, and don’t be shy. I’ll be the 6′ redhead looking forward to standing beside you and shaking your hand.

Marylin

Something like this always brings me back to where I need to be, fighting for the choice of consumers. It reminds me of Fiamma Palermo (Karen Lee) a few years ago, who used the #ImProof hashtag.

This young lady declares her right is her right to choose, and questions accountability. More of this please. I must admit, I’ve got a crush on Marylin. I’m smitten. Not sure if my wife will voluntarily move out, though.

Mark Slis (Scientist & Vape Shop Owner)

Another consumer, and more. I’ll let him explain it during his testimony after driving over 500 miles to do it.

Compliance Checks

Meanwhile, as Marilyn eloquently stated above, underage children are still breaking the law. Meanwhile, retail stores are still breaking the law.

James Jarvis shared a post on his Facebook page showing the latest current numbers of “compliance checks”. Then, he asks a question.

He did my homework for us, so I stole his post. (Thanks James!)

Year to date FDA Inspection data total US…

Total Inspections: 102,032
Total fails for Ends: 4,212
10 fails were for selling Logic to minors
22 fails were for selling Njoy to minors
84 fails were for selling Mark 10 to minors
499 fails were for selling “other” to minors
748 fails were for selling Blu to minors
1407 fails were for selling Vuse to minors
1442 fails were for Juul to minors
Total fails for vape shops: 212
Total fails for smoke and vape shops: 82
*619 of the fails had civil money penalties (so multiple offenses)

Breaking down Ohio: Total Fails for Ends: 177
Ohio Vape Shop fails: 3 ( same store failed 2 times)

Then he asked: “Tell me again where the youth are getting their vape products?”

Speaking of Michigan

It is not all roses and candy in Michigan… Rep. Johnson got on “Mr. Eliquid’s” website… and made a determination.

More of that responsibility, lawmakers!!!

This is awesome. Democrat Rep Cynthia Johnson tries to purchase eliquid from a shop in Michigan with a fake account, and was REJECTED. She then went on to praise Mr. Eliquid “…you are NOT marketing to children”. There’s only one company to blame for the youth issue, & ITS JUUL. pic.twitter.com/GubnHwKtyB

Another scare story tried to rear its ugly head this past week. While illegal THC products are giving the “anti’s” fictitious and strong momentum, they’re looking at ALL angles of decimation of a less harmful product.

Governors Cuomo & Whitmer

May as well put criminals in one place.

Both Whitmer & Cuomo wants flavors banned. I’ve heard it may be because adults don’t like flavors! Neither do Senators.

“They want to regulate, restrict, tax and ban less smoking.” Think about it.

Governors, like Cuomo, seem to like tobacco-flavored non-governmental organizational front group flavored lollipops.

Governor Whitmer, seen here enjoying a house full of flavored ice cream, beer, pastries, cookies, donuts, coffee and gasp, flavored cheese, does not like flavors either.

In fact, I’m under the impression she really likes flavors, including cherry, blueberry, and raspberry pie, but doesn’t want Michigan folks to have those same freedoms.

Vaping In The News – A Ruckus – September 14th, 2019

September 14, 2019 Vaping Links 1 Comment

Vaping In The News covers nicotine, smoking, vaping, snus, heat not burn, e-cigarettes, harm reduction, tobacco control, public health, government, regulations, policies & more worldwide.

The largest threat to Public Health is an informed consumer.

What a week. There was a ruckus. Allow me to try to describe the ruckus.

10 September:

Gazillionaire Bloomberg announced he was spending ~~spare change found around in a cup holder in his car~~ $160M on an initiative with Tobacco-Free Kids to ban flavored e-cigarettes.

Mutual Admiration Society [MAS] member and World Health Association (WHO) ~~useless~~ idiot “Director General” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus — ~~pissed all over himself~~ applauded the effort to ban flavors.

11 September:

Then, President Trump meets with Health & Human Services puppet Alex Azar found here and here. Azar proudly left the meeting announcing he will be “finalizing policies that will clear flavored e-cigarettes from the market”. He reiterated it again here.

This opportunity didn’t go to waste. This was a well-timed advantage by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to capitalize on deaths in the U.S…. a bit of momentum.

After all, this wasn’t about products that are used daily by millions who have switched to a less harmful product. This was about illegal black market Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-containing products that use similar devices as vaping products.

Funny, ~~ha-ha~~, because on September 9th, the FDA themselves had already released this statement.

So most of these vaping illnesses are coming from black-market THC products, but the solution is to make *legal* vaping products *less* available? Driving more people to said market?

How has such an obviously illogical narrative become the prevalent one?
— Kat Timpf (@KatTimpf) September 10, 2019

What was that ruckus about? Manipulation. The opening presented itself, and “public health” wasted no time to nail a spike through advocates hearts, strengthening their effort to shut down an industry who’s goal is affording smokers choice and opportunity of a less harmful product.

The truth does come out – this, in fact, is illegal black market products they should’ve been focusing on – but it’s too little, too late for some. But there is more to this.

Then

Trump – for some reason, changed his mind – and tweeted it. Not completely, remember – Azar was “finalizing”… meaning those plans were already in process.

Either way, a much #louder ruckus I and others have tried to figure out how to create for years, Years, YEARS, has reared its pent-up frustrated ugly head nationally – and done some good. In the process, it created a momentum of its own.

Your tweets and phone calls to President Trump are making an impact!

President Trump, adult consumers want access to a wide variety of vaping products. HHS and CDC leadership are guiding you in the wrong direction. All they care about is prohibition. #VapeBan https://t.co/WilVd2u8A4

#Louder

I can’t find a direct link to the statement(s), but saw calls to the White House opposing this decision overwhelmed the switchboard with wait times and busy signals.

Things I saw:

Gregory Conley (American Vaping Association) is front and center on CNN (here and here).

Paul Blair (Americans for Tax Reform) on Fox News Live WITH Matt Myers of Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

Tony Abboud (Vapor Technology Association) professionally explains the industry stance here on CNBC Squawk on the Street

Sounds like a much better strategy. Even more importantly, keep children from SMOKING. It MUST be acknowledged that the increase in e-cigarette popularity among youth has been accompanied by the (almost) elimination of smoking!
— K. Farsalinos (@FarsalinosK) September 13, 2019

I, as thousands of others, have tweeted my sentiments to President Trump. After all, they lied to his administrative face.

Stopped caring about small businesses?

Stopped worrying about less harmful alternatives?

Stopped worrying about #regulations putting people out of business, @realDonaldTrump?

You need to say "You're #FIRED" to @SecAzar, @Surgeon_General @JeromeAdams, and@FDACommissioner https://t.co/HuCvyJFDxT

Along with Cherry, Michael McGrady is reporting about

I tried to describe the ruckus

What I witnessed were spectacular moments over the past week. I saw a shift in the “vaping community”. I saw what seems like the largest national momentum by industry and consumers I’ve never seen. Lets keep that up. This battle is FAR from over.

There are people from the industry going to Washington this coming week. I am confident they are beyond adequately skilled to voice the professional position(s) of their members.

Here’s a thought

If you aren’t supporting one idea, support another. It is, after all, your choice. If you don’t think something is being done “right”, be inspired to create something better.

You can call the White House at 1-202-456-1414.

This alt value should not be empty if you assign primary image

An idea from Bill Tarling: Snail mail. What if everyone reading this blog spent 10 minutes and .55 cents – and mailed a letter to the White House in opposition to a ban. Imagine being inundated with thousands of letters? You can’t delete paper.

Just to keep it fresh in the President’s mind.:

The White House

Attention: President Donald J. Trump

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Washington, DC 20500.

Oh, and there’s a consumer driven march on Washington being planned as I type. United Vapers Alliance. More is coming on that.

Oliver Kershaw has a great question for former FDA Commissioner now Pfizer board member, Dr. Gottlieb.

Did CDC’s skepticism of tobacco harm reduction extend to them obfuscating the specific cause of numerous, and likely ongoing, injuries? Scott indicates here prima facie evidence of negligence.

Surprise! Pfizer sponsored research has found they need to fill a need because you need their product as “treatment” to cease vaping product use.

This gem is in the text. Bold and italics are my emphasis.

There aren’t antismoking treatments for people who smoke only electronic cigarette (single users) or electronic cigarette and classic cigarette (dual users). Surprisingly, there aren’t data available in the literature on smoking cessation intervention for this specific disease group …

Michigan Governor Declares Cigarettes Safe

I understand the cringing. There were a few uneasy about this (my) blog because the Governor of Michigan didn’t actually say or “declare” cigarettes are safe.

Now, think of the never-ending, non-stop, click-bait (three hyphenated words in a row is a record for me) articles you see, read, get tagged by your friends, and millions share daily. That are not true.

Nope, she didn’t ‘say’ or ‘declare’ cigarettes are safe, but it was implied. Call it tongue-in-cheek, call it satire.

She isn’t banning cigarettes, therefore, cigarettes are safe.

Michigan Governor Declares Cigarettes Safe

September 5, 2019 Vaping Links 1 Comment

Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan has arrogantly declared cigarettes are safe and will remain available for consumers of all ages in her state. “Alternative nicotine products” will be banned to protect the children ™.

It seems the words “regulate, restrict, tax and ban” will not catch on (in that order) as I had envisioned. Michigan, like San Francisco, has chosen the word “ban” for less harmful products to protect the children™ … I’m happy to report however, cigarettes are safe.

They aren’t banning all vaping products in Michigan, only “alternative nicotine products”. At last check (pretend I made a phone call here), cigarettes are safe from being banned in the state. To protect the children ™ .

Any normal human being would think laws are in place to ~~protect the children ™~~ restrict underage purchase of booze, cigarettes, and other adult products. Don’t all laugh in unison.

Dr. Brad Rodu already explained underage sales of tobacco is poorly enforced and violation rates are “extremely high” in states like Michigan earlier this year.

(For reference on federal/state enforcement of underage sales, see what no one likes to talk about: Synar Amendment).

The Governor posted this… To protect the children ™.

My number one priority is keeping our kids safe. Right now, companies selling vaping products are using candy flavors to hook children on nicotine and misleading claims to promote the belief that these products are safe.

That ends today. https://t.co/qPJSb6OTZN
— Governor Gretchen Whitmer (@GovWhitmer) September 4, 2019

Takeaways:

A less harmful CONSUMER choice is being eliminated. Without experience, consumers (of any age) may try to mix e-liquid themselves – and it will create a black market.

To protect the children ™ .

At a time when people are getting sick from black market products, @GovWhitmer decides to ban flavors and create more black markets. Way to make it much more difficult for your smokers to switch to a safer alternative.
— Matt From SMM (@SuckMyMod) September 4, 2019

ELIMINATION of vape shops, restraint of trade – creating a monopoly for, or eliminating competition for cigarettes and smoking cessation drugs. To protect the children ™ .

Civil disobedience is already here:

I will NOT comply. I'm currently making flavor shots I will give my customers at no charge to add to the unflavored e liquid. I have a responsibility to my customers, friends and family that I've helped to quit smoking. I will not comply and watch people go back to smoking.
— Moose Jooce (Big Vape, not a BOT) Vape Shops (@manor_kimberly) September 5, 2019

There are other implications to protect the children ™ :

The Michigan rule also prohibits flavored "alternative nicotine products" (anything that isn't taxed as smokeless tobacco, cigs, etc.)

IQOS menthol (deemed "appropriate for the protection of public health" by FDA), dissolvables, and tobacco-free nic pouches could be banned.
— Gregory Conley (@GregTHR) September 4, 2019

This arbitrary decision by Governor Whitmer, challenged or not, has created an unscientific template for the other 49 states to admire, assess, modify and then implement implement ~~to their own needs~~ to protect the children ™.

The American Vaping Association had a press release here.

Mutual Admiration Society member Frank Pallone was quick to show support to Whitmer. I was compelled to ask a silly question:

Hiya @FrankPallone.

Me again.

Could you explain why cigarettes are safe and shall never be banned? https://t.co/kXMKkvG3xL
— VapingIT, SPE, EEI (@Vapingit) September 5, 2019

I can’t take – as a consumer – any threat as an idle threat. If just ONE of these threats, taxes, bans, etc. takes hold… it’s a snowball to hell for everyone. I don’t really believe for one second most understand how swift that hill will accelerate the process.

I’ll readily admit I may not explain things ‘just right’ all the time, so (in the spirit of the name of my blog) I’ll point you in the directions of the links you need to see to better understand why cigarettes are safe in Michigan:

If you are in MICHIGAN, you should already have gone to CASAA here:

Action Center

You should visit Jim McDonald here:

You should see Dr. Siegel here:

Michigan Ban on Flavored E-Cigarettes is a Terrible Policy with Devastating Public Health Consequences

And in accordance with VITN rules, you should go here:

Footnotes:

I found (then Senator) Whitmer announcing legislation (in 2008) to ban “toy” lighters years ago here.

Interestingly, I couldn’t find Whitmer trying to ban cigarettes anywhere (to protect the children ™).

Finally, in my best Morgan Freeman voice:

Cigarettes cannot and shall not be banned and are protected by law, in accordance with the Master Settlement Agreement.

12/12/19 Update:

Today Gretchen called upon the Michigan Supreme Court to take immediate action to protect 🚬cigarettes to the fullest extent of the law.

Eliminating competition of less harmful products protects Michigan tax revenues in accordance with the Master Settlement Agreement. https://t.co/D2yGtqTDd8 pic.twitter.com/fqio1tHVVf
