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
The FDA's new draft guidance offers a clearer, though still non-binding, view of their thinking on industry concerns.

The debate around vape flavors misses the point. As adults, we choose what to consume. If alcohol comes in countless flavors, why shouldn't vaping? Flavors help adults like me stay away from smoking.

FDA's new draft guidance on flavored vapes creates more questions than answers. While aiming for clarity, it doesn't open the door for flavored products, especially those appealing to youth.

Slowly, but surely the wheel turns. Can this be a little sunshine? Time will tell.
In the meantime, I am enforced by law to turn away grandparents and parents who are trying to remain smoke free. Some are returning to cigarettes.
The FDA seems to be acting as a tobacco control agency, not a health regulator. It's disheartening when science is ignored, especially from an administration that promised to help.

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

While FDA & Centre for Tobacco Products are beginning to acknowledge Americans badly misunderstand the relative risks of nicotine vaping products compared with cigarettes, recent research out of UT Southwestern Medical Center identifies FDA’s own Real Cost campaign “An Epidemic Is Spreading” as a significant contributor to that collapse in public understanding.

Legislation is often shaped by industry groups. When faced with opposition, finding common ground and negotiation can lead to model laws, even with former adversaries.

Political rhetoric supporting vaping often clashes with tough regulatory reality, especially for flavored products. The lawful market hasn't become easier to navigate.

FDA's comparative efficacy standard for flavored vapes: Show your flavors are better for adult smokers quitting than tobacco flavors, or kids might be using them too much. It's a rigid rule, not a case-by-case review.

Navigating complex regulations (federal, state, municipal) is tough. Our team of tax specialists and attorneys ensures compliance, a challenge many face. We're proud to have helped over 2 million Americans transition from smoking to vaping.

The science behind tobacco harm reduction is often dismissed not on its merits, but on its funding source. The tobacco industry's own studies face scrutiny, yet independent vape industry advocates are unfairly labeled.

Regulatory uncertainty and a high authorization bar have stifled flavored ENDS products. Despite millions spent on compliance, few flavors pass FDA review.

Nicotine analogs aren't chemically nicotine, potentially placing them outside tobacco product definitions and the PMTA process. Some states, like California, are closing this loophole by including analogs in their definitions.

Raising the age for tobacco and vape products to 21 effectively removes a major access point for high schoolers. By eliminating 'straw buyers' and enforcing store compliance, we're seeing a significant reduction in youth use.

Despite claims, the reality of seized e-liquids is mixed. While some imports exist, most products are domestically made by companies like Air Factory and Naked 100, many based in the US and often with pending PMTAs.
