If You Smoke E-Cigarettes, Do You Know How TPD Will Affect You?
Huffington Post,
I’m a ex-smoker – the worst kind. I’ve been there, done it, quit and will pontificate on the joys of not smoking to anyone who is foolish enough to listen. If I close my eyes I can still remember my very first cigarette, aged 11 – a pilfered Silk Cut, stolen from the packet of my friend’s mother.
Out of the budget but, still in the fight!
CASAA
Sunday evening (April 30, 2017) congressional leaders met to finalize the FY2017 omnibus spending bill for the US budget. The Cole-Bishop amendment, which would provide much-needed relief to the vapor industry by allowing it to continue manufacturing products that were on the market pre-August 2016, was stripped out of the spending package along with 159 other “riders.”

FDA gives e-cigarette makers a reprieve
San Diego Union-Tribune, Bradley J. Fikes
Some good news for the vaping industry late Monday. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given manufacturers of electronic cigarette equipment a three-month reprieve from registering their products.
Do not regulate a potentially life-saving product out of existence
The Hill, Tony Abboud
Vapor products are potentially the greatest public health advancement in the effort to combat smoking-related deaths in modern history. Despite an overabundance of distorted and misleading information, the science is clear: responsibly manufactured vapor products are a safer alternative to traditional combustible products, and they provide many individuals with a viable path to reduce tobacco smoking and even quit altogether.

Don’t let alternative facts deter Congress from fixing e-cigarette regulations
Washington Examiner, Michael Siegel
One is a product that produces more than 10,000 chemicals, including more than 60 known human carcinogens, and kills more than 400,000 Americans each year. The other is an alternative, much safer product that produces minimal exposure to carcinogens and has been shown to reduce carcinogenic and respiratory health risks.

Chest physicians split on pros and cons of e-cigarettes
Medical X Press, Ziba Kashef
Patients are asking their chest physicians about using e-cigarettes to quit smoking, but those physicians are divided about whether the products do more harm than good, according to a Yale-led study. The finding demonstrates the need for more research on e-cigarettes that will help physicians counsel their patients who smoke.
