Lets call EVALI what it is: THC VALI

To the editor,

The authors of this article appear to be unaware that the cause of “EVALI” was identified almost a year ago. To quote Dr Ann Schuchat, Principal Deputy Director of CDC in December, 2019: “we can conclude that what I call the explosive outbreak of cases of EVALI can be attributed to exposure to THC-containing vaping products that also contained Vitamin E acetate.” (1).

E-cigarettes with cigarette-like nicotine delivery reduce exposure to carcinogen

Penn State

E-cigarettes that deliver a cigarette-like amount of nicotine are associated with reduced smoking and reduced exposure to a major cancer-causing chemical, or carcinogen, in tobacco even with concurrent smoking, according to a new study led by researchers at Penn State College of Medicine and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). The study provides new and important information for smokers who may be trying to use e-cigarettes as a means to cut down on their smoking habit and lower their exposure to harmful toxicants.

E-cigarettes with a cigarette-like level of nicotine are effective in reducing smoking

Virginia Commonwealth University, Eureka Alert

E-cigarettes that deliver a cigarette-like amount of nicotine are associated with reduced smoking and reduced exposure to the major tobacco-related pulmonary carcinogen, NNAL, even with concurrent smoking, according to a new study led by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University and Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The study, which will be published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal, provides new and important information for smokers who may be trying to use e-cigarettes as a means to cut down on their smoking habit and lower their exposure to harmful toxicants.

Beating cancer: Clive Bates on what the EU got wrong about tobacco

Snusforumet

The European Commission recently released it’s much anticipated plan for beating cancer. While the goals are admirable, the EU Beating Cancer plan is plagued by a “fundamental error” when it comes to tobacco and nicotine, warns tobacco harm reduction advocate Clive Bates.

During 2021, 2.7 million EU residents were diagnosed with cancer and 1.3 million Europeans lost their lives to some form of the disease.

Harry’s blog 110: A new paradigm for tobacco regulation

Harry Shapiro, Nicotine Science And Policy

Traditionally, tobacco regulation has majored on controlling access to cigarettes through taxation, advertising bans and packet warnings, bans on public smoking and youth access and all the panoply of regulation to reduce the death and disease toll from the most dangerous way of consuming nicotine.

And then from 2006 onwards a disruptive technology emerged – the vaping device allowing consumers to enjoy nicotine (yes, enjoy) without all the risks consequent on sparking up a cigarette. US smokeless and snus had been around for much longer, but arguably it has been the disruption caused by the vaping revolution that brought the health benefits of these other non-combustibles into the light through new epidemiological and clinical evidence.

Change is possible!

World Vapers’ Alliance

Sometimes it may seem as if policymakers will never see the light and embrace vaping, but there is hope, just look at New Zealand’s 180-degree turn. 

Not that long ago, the sale and supply of ALL nicotine vapes and e-liquids was banned in New Zealand through the widening of the scope of the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990 (SFEA).

TWO from Dave Cross, Planet Of The Vapes

Quitting Vaping Research

MUSC Hollings Cancer Center researchers have released research making the dubious claim that 66% of vapers want to quit vaping. The paper is published this month on JAMA Network Open. Their findings conflict with a straw poll conducted on the Planet of the Vapes forum which has 60,000 members.

POTV Partners ENDS 21

The ENDS (Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems) Europe conference is set to take place from 20-21 April. The annual event is aimed at key stakeholders from the electronic nicotine delivery systems industry. This year will mark another success for Planet Of The Vapes (POTV) News as we’ve been invited to become an official media partner following a similar partnership with the UK Vaping Industry Association’s VApril campaign.

Juul Decides To Abandon Adult Vapers

RIGHTS 4 VAPERS

Juul Labs Canada has put its bottom line and relationship with the federal government ahead of the needs of its consumers by pulling out of the Vaping Industry Trade Association of Canada (VITA) and abandoning the fight to maintain a wide variety of flavours for adult vapers.

“By giving up on flavours, Juul has clearly demonstrated that adult consumers are less important to them than their desire to cozy up to the federal government,” said Maria Papaioannoy, spokesperson for Rights4Vapers, Canada’s leading vapers consumers’ rights movement. “My heart breaks for the millions of adult vapers who look to Juul as a leader in the industry. These Canadians have been deceived by Big Vape.”

Vaping With Cigarette-Levels of Nicotine May Reduce Exposure

E-cigarettes that deliver a cigarette-like amount of nicotine are associated with reduced smoking and reduced exposure to a major cancer-causing chemical in tobacco even with concurrent smoking, according to a new study led by researchers at Penn State College of Medicine and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).

Deceptive Government Campaign Against Electronic Cigarettes

C. Everett Koop, Surgeon General under President Ronald Reagan, was an ardent crusader against smoking. As he said of himself in 1998, “I frequently spoke of the sleazy behavior of the tobacco industry in its attempts to discredit legitimate science as part of its overall effort to create controversy and doubt.” Koop was referring to doubt surrounding the relationship between smoking and lung cancer….
