Why are our tax dollars funding health misinformation?
@HealthyLivingMo
tries to equate vaping with smoking on paid social media.
Study from Drexel University finds no harm to bystanders via vapor.

@LungAssociation
Government overreach by executive order is wrong. Thank you @JayAshcroftMO for the correct response #MoLeg
As a small business owner of Smoke Smart and member of @MSFA_SMOKEFREE
I applaud secretary of state @JayAshcroftMO
Nobody wants to see minors using these products including responsible small business owners.
Legislature needs to draft common sense legislation

Thankfully the Missouri Legislature didn’t fall victim to Big Tobacco lobbyists.
Iowa has essentially defato banned harm reduction products and increased cigarette sales. #MoLeg #IAlegis #IAgov #iapol #vaping #tobacco
Sorry to report that Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed the PMTA registry bill.
Incredibly disappointing move from a governor who should know better.

Fortunately, they won't vote tomorrow, so there is time to act.

Missouri sees mirror language in Rep. Roberts HB2211
#MoLeg shouldn’t allow Big Tobacco lobbyists to DeFacto ban lower risk vape products.
PMTA registry bills (de facto disposable & synthetic nicotine bans) will have hearings next week in Indiana and Washington.
Terrible idea that will lead to enforcement whac-a-mole, the closure of stores, and illicit sales.

-MO Smoke Free recommends Do Pass on Brown SB1158
-“Tobacco 21” is already federal law & MO must adopt 4 federal funding.
-Currently there’s a confusing patchwork of local law. #MoLeg

Today, FDA announced it has authorized the marketing of three new tobacco products, marking the first set of electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) products ever authorized by FDA through the Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) pathway. fda.gov/news-events/press-an…
ALT FDA permits marketing of first e-cigarettes through PMTA pathway.

This means that the Biden FDA has found that the marketing of this Vuse tobacco flavored e-cigarette is appropriate for the protection of public health. More to follow? fda.gov/tobacco-products/pre…

Our federal government needs to spend less time outlawing flavored vapes and more time outlawing political corruption.
E-cigs are substitutes for actual cigarettes & less harmful. If policymakers are serious about reducing smoking, they need to stop treating e-cigs as though they are as harmful as actual cigarettes: They ought to be taxed & regulated differently. americanexperiment.org/how-s… #MoLeg

"This tax is not going to deter people from using nicotine, it's just going to turn that person from a vaper back into a smoker," says Gossett. "This tax will not only kill my business, it will kill Americans."
