FDA Potentially Has One Interesting Solution To Their “Youth Vaping Epidemic”
Since the FDA declared youth vaping an epidemic they have spoken openly about additional policies and plans to curb the numbers they say are present in their findings. These reports are not public, but the FDA maintains that their frequent use of the word “epidemic” is accurate. In fact, they believe this “youth vaping epidemic” is so severe that they’re interested in taking some unprecedented action. The FDA has announced that they will hold a public meeting on December 5thto discuss “the potential role of drug therapies to support youth e-cigarette cessation.” This is part of their plan to “eliminate youth electronic cigarette,” and, seemingly as an afterthought, “other tobacco…
Tariffs May Inadvertently Change The U.S. Vaping Industry
In the U.S., vapers are no strangers to the effects of government policies on their lives, but it rarely happens as indirectly as it will soon. When the President announced new tariffs on imports from China, the effect on the vaping industry was likely the furthest thing from his mind. Unlike other regulations, this particular action is not meant to directly affect vaping, but that doesn’t mean that it won’t. In its broadest form, the act is set to subject Chinese imports to a 25% tariff when they fall in to certain categories. There are hundreds of different products that will see this increase as the tariffs attempt to drive…
A Brief History of Vaping and Present Outlook
A Brief History of Vaping The history of vaping can be viewed from many different angles. Looking back on it, it wasn’t too long ago that vaping was nothing more than the brainchild of scrapyard worker and inventor Herbert A. Gilbert. It was Gilbert who has been credited with patenting his invention of a “smokeless non-tobacco cigarette,” initially in 1963. It was an invention with a high promise that never gained any ground. This wasn’t too long after a Philip Morris (owners of the Marlboro brand, et al.) scientist admitted that heavy smoking was contributing to lung cancer and that the first company to come up with “a cigarette claiming a…

Beyond The Headlines: Reading into Scientific Vapor Studies
Whether in vaping or another industry, the importance of scientific studies is almost immeasurable. Proper research can lead us toward answers that we simply could not get otherwise. Sometimes these studies can lead us to new questions, a better understanding of the subject matter, or definitive answers to specific questions. Conversely, though, a bad report can lead things in the wrong direction, especially when it comes to public opinion. The worst part of it all is that it’s not exclusively bad scientific work that can end up hurting the cause. Because of this, here are a couple things to consider next time you see a headline about a new report…
