Has Governor Hochul considered harm reduction for people who smoke cigarettes? Not once.
“If Hochul’s proposals for a registry and increased enforcement are successful, the market for flavored vapes could move entirely underground, eliminating any tax benefit to the state.”
New York Governor Kathy Hochul's budget proposal includes a state vape registry, a second tax on vapes, and a 75% wholesale tax on nicotine pouches.

Gotta make the safer alternatives less affordable to adults who smoke... to keep cigarette sin tax revenue high.

After 16 years, my @YouTube channel (GrimmGreen) was terminated today with no real explanation.
I’ve built my content around harm reduction, helping adult smokers quit, and advocating for science-based policies.
This feels like a huge mistake. If you believe in THR, free speech, and the mission we’ve been on, please help me get YouTube’s attention.
@TeamYouTube I’m asking for a real human to review my case.
I’ve never promoted anything illegal. I’ve never targeted youth. I’ve worked tirelessly to be a responsible voice in the vaping and harm reduction space. But like many creators in this space, it seems I’ve been swept up in an overly aggressive moderation wave.

You really gotta hand it to the Bloomberg and EU-funded NGOs who have somehow "convinced" lawmakers that nicotine pouches (which only contain nicotine and flavor) are somehow a bigger danger than traditional combustion tobacco products...
The anti-scientific mission-creep is 🤪
France intends to prohibit nicotine pouches beginning in March 2026, despite objections raised by seven fellow European Union states. The health ministry decree bans sales, but also personal use and possession.

Must-read - bear in mind:
1. No evidence anywhere supports vaping prohibitions on public health (or other) grounds, but there is plenty against.
2. US evidence on flavour bans suggests they increase smoking.
3. @WHO and @BloombergDotOrg support both; doing more harm than good.
Where in the world are vapes prohibited? Check out our up-to-date list of the countries that prohibit sales or possession of vapes, and also our rundown of U.S. states with flavor bans or online sales restrictions.

Very useful resource, albeit depressing to see reduced risk nicotine products treated more harshly than cigarettes in so many countries/US states

Arkansas Registry Law Includes First-Ever U.S. Personal Possession Ban
Arkansas' new registry law includes some exemptions for open-system products (although the law is somewhat unclear), and a U.S. vape law first: it bans personal possession.

I just published an editorial at @Vaping360 responding to a recent FOX News interview with David Oliveira, an ex-CTP employee who advocated for a punitive "boots on the ground ... city by city, state by state" approach to fight unauthorized vaping products.

How harmful are electronic cigarettes? economist.com/science-and-te… To show that #vapes are harmful the @TheEconomist cites Johns Hopkins study that found pesticide precursor and many other toxic byproducts. Devices were machine puffed every 8 seconds for 300 times nonstop. This will certainly pyrolyze the cotton wick and even burn the coil. Many toxic byproducts are detected, but it is an irrelevant experiment because no human will vape an e-cig under this extreme regime.

As @whycherrywhy correctly points out, “Tariffs are taxes paid by consumers”
For people who switched to these vaping devices (the vast majority are made or assembled in China), they now are forced to pay much more, giving consumers far fewer affordable options for nicotine

"The law will affect about 550 Denver retail stores"
Close 500+ businesses and put thousands out of work to appease tobacco control groups. All for nothing. People will still be able to drive outside city limits and acquire the banned products.
