Need to Revisit the Ban
Innco

Popcorn Doc Escapes GMC Investigation
In July, Dr Sara Kayat appeared on ITV’s This Morning.

New Zealand Health, RNZ
Dairy owners are accusing the government of destroying thousands of small businesses with restrictions on vaping products.
Sunny Kaushal from the Dairy and Business Owners Group said thousands of dairies and service station could help to deliver the Smokefree 2025 policy by promoting and encouraging smokers into vaping and smokeless tobacco.
Dairies Should Sell Vapes, But Inconsistencies Need Sorting
Aotearoa Vapers Community Advocacy (AVCA), Scoop
“Dairy owners are right to say being allowed to sell only three vape flavours is not helping New Zealand achieve Smokefree Aotearoa 2025, but some of them are not helping themselves,” says Nancy Loucas, co-founder of Aotearoa Vapers Community Advocacy (AVCA).

Jim McDonald, Vaping 360
China’s ban on flavored vaping products will take effect on Oct. 1, along with other standards for vape products imposed by the government over the last year. The flavor ban probably won’t affect products exported to other countries, with some exceptions.
The tobacco epidemic is growing in India
Shantanu Guha Ray, The Times Of India
E-cigarettes and harm-reduction products continue to remain banned for almost three years in India, while legal sales of cigarettes, bidis and other tobacco-based products continue.
There are serious arguments as to what it means for the nation’s public health policy. But officials of the Health Ministry are simply not keen to engage in any discussions.

Let’s remind ourselves what rests on the outcome….
Dame Sally Davies interview
The chief medical officer on e-cigarettes, antibiotic resistance
On e-cigarettes too, the chief medical officer remains cautious about overstating their benefits as a tool for quitting smoking until the evidence becomes more clear. She’s previously warned that the devices could end up normalising traditional cigarettes, acting as a gateway to the kind of behaviour she spends her working life trying to get a country with a seemingly insatiable appetite for self-destruction to move away from….
Ecig consumer wants and “needs”
Carl V. Phillips – Anti-THR Lies
One more post about GTNF2015. Julie presented in a session titled “Consumer wants and needs”. It was one of at least three sessions with titles that, if interpreted generically, made them about the general question of what consumers care about regarding developments in tobacco products (which in practice made it mostly about e-cigarettes, since that is where most of the developments are).
