Nanny State Index 2017
Velvet Glove, Iron Fist
Today sees the publication of the 2017 edition of the Nanny State Index, a league table of the best and worst places in the European Union to eat, drink, smoke and vape. Each country is given a score according to the scale of its paternalistic regulation of alcohol, e-cigarettes, food and tobacco.
Use of moist oral snuff (snus) and pancreatic cancer: Pooled analysis of nine prospective observational studies.
PubMed
While smoking is a well-established risk factor for pancreatic cancer, the effect of smokeless tobacco is less well understood. We used pooled individual data from the Swedish Collaboration on Health Effects of Snus Use to assess the association between Swedish snus use and the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Fierce debates dominate D.C.’s first E-Cigarette Summit
RStreet.org, Carrie Wade
If you imagined an e-cigarette conference full of policymakers at a Marriott in Washington would be a tame event, you would be wrong.

Jim McDonald – Vaping 360

World looks to New Zealand
For wisdom on e-cigarettes – Massey University
While the UK embraces electronic cigarettes for the rapid drop in smoking they have experienced, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced new regulations that will albeit ban them.
A week after the UK Royal College of Physicians’ report Nicotine without smoke: tobacco harm reduction which supports smokers to switch to vaping, the FDA ruled that electronic cigarettes would be treated the same as harmful tobacco products.
The FDA overreaches on e-cigs
For decades, Washington has mostly banned the use of federal funds for needle-exchange programs for drug addicts. The originator of the ban was uber-conservative North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms. Although the Institute of Medicine found that providing junkies with clean needles reduced the spread of disease without increasing the level of drug use…
