NNA Encourages Vapers To Save Vaping
Dave Cross, Planet Of The Vapes
The New Nicotine Alliance (NNA), the UK’s leading independent nicotine consumer advocacy charity, says that UK politicians are turning their back on success. Throwing its weight behind a new ‘Save Vaping’ campaign, the NNA is encouraging all vapers to take part and tell the politicians that they’re wrong.
Canada Cut Tobacco Taxes and Crushed the Black Market
Alan Gor
Australia is told that reducing tobacco excise cannot weaken the illicit market. Canada proved otherwise.
By early 1994, contraband cigarettes supplied about 40 per cent of Canada’s tobacco market. Canadian manufacturers exported billions of cigarettes across the United States border before much of the product was smuggled back untaxed. Exports reached 17 billion cigarettes in 1993.
Anti-vaping hysteria keeps smokers hooked. Trump’s FDA is (finally) embracing reality
Michael Burgess, Washington Examiner
As a physician and former 11-term member of Congress who focused on health policy, I have devoted my career to advancing health for Americans. The most persistent health issue I have encountered was reducing smoking rates. Even today, smoking is still the leading preventable cause of disease. The good news is that we now have a tested pathway to dramatically impact, if not eliminate, smoking and avoid its needless health toll and associated health costs.
