Half of U.S. adults once recognized vaping as less harmful than smoking. Today, just 17% do. What caused this dramatic reversal and did FDA’s “An Epidemic Is Spreading” campaign play a role? @cdoug @HayppGroup @ChaunceyGardner @alli_vapes @VaporTechAssoc @INNCOorg @GFNicotine

After 20 years of smoking, Dr. Lindsay Reese quit cigarettes and switched to heated tobacco and pouches. She reflects on that personal journey in this RegWatch interview: youtu.be/_rGREDue424 #TobaccoPolicy #Nicotine

Why did Zyn face a lengthy FDA review while combustible tobacco products received marketing authorizations? The interview examines how FDA processes and user fees may affect new product authorizations. youtu.be/3M-05qpX70w #FDA #TobaccoPolicy

The FDA's shifting guidance on e-cigarette applications led manufacturers on a 'wild goose chase,' according to the 5th Circuit Court. However, the Supreme Court disagreed, finding no broken commitments in the FDA's regulatory 'switcheroos.' #FDA #Regulation #SupremeCourt

Tobacco-flavored ENDS products aren't a sensible baseline comparator. Unlike traditional tobacco products, vapes don't contain tobacco leaf and aren't naturally tobacco-flavored. Comparing them to combustible cigarettes makes more sense for harm reduction. #Vaping #PublicHealth

Federal clarity on affordable vape products could revolutionize public health. A 6-month process for safety data and testing could lead to significantly less harmful options than smoking, opening the market for consumers. #Vaping #PublicHealth #Regulation

Big tobacco faces a dissonance: promoting harm reduction while protecting their profitable, declining cigarette business. They lobby to slow transition, creating duopolies that limit consumer choice and push some back to smoking. #TobaccoIndustry #HarmReduction

Lung cancer specialist Dr. David Gerber says it’s time for health professionals to intervene and correct dangerous misperceptions about vaping. But would that mean correcting years of FDA messaging? @cdoug @ChaunceyGardner @alli_vapes @VaporTechAssoc @INNCOorg @GFNicotine regwat.ch/4KxfoU

The Supreme Court's ruling on the FDA's approach was disappointing and flawed, according to industry insiders. While not a sweeping anti-agency decision, many issues remain unresolved and are pending in lower courts. #SCOTUS #FDA #Legal

The FDA's approach to vape PMTAs might be dismantled by a recent ruling. Companies that previously lost on en banc rehearings could petition the Supreme Court. #Vaping #FDA #Regulation

The vape industry is fighting to be seen as a force for good. #VapeIndustry #SmallBusiness

FDA's standard for 'appropriate for the protection of public health' (APPH) isn't set by the agency, but by Congress in the Tobacco Control Act. #FDA #PublicHealth #Regulation

Did you know industry groups often help craft legislation? In Arizona, tobacco companies were adversaries for 6 years, influencing bills through direct input and stakeholder discussions. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at how laws are made. #Legislation #IndustryInfluence #Arizona

While federal law mandates a 21+ smoking age, some South Carolina shops sell to 18-year-olds, bypassing FDA regulations and undercutting legitimate businesses. #VapingLaws #PublicHealth

FDA's new flavor guidance offers clarity, not an easier path. The agency still uses tobacco flavor as a baseline, with the highest burden on youth-appealing flavors. Expect tougher authorization for adult-favored flavors. #FDA #Flavors #Regulation

Arizona is pioneering a new regulatory framework that removes the term 'illicit' and legalizes certain products within the state. #Arizona #Regulation #Business

Adults are still dying from smoking-related illnesses, and some administrations aren't seeing reason. We can't back down or stop trying to make them aware of the damage they're doing. Change is needed. #PublicHealth #Advocacy
