Priorities

Limit Youth Access & Appeal

Our top priority is to limit the appeal and access to vapes by minors. VTA pioneered tough industry marketing standards in 2018 and, in 2019, successfully advocated to raise the age to buy tobacco products to 21 instead of banning flavors federally.

Science Driven Federal Regulation

Federal regulation must be balanced. The FDA and Congress must change their current approach and implement regulatory policies that will protect the more than 30 million Americans who still smoke cigarettes, and particularly the 480,000 who die every year from smoking, at the same time as they act to protect youth.

Protecting Adult Choice

It is well documented that adult consumer preference for flavored e-cigarettes plays a significant role in encouraging smokers to switch to less harmful vaping.

Fostering Innovation

Technological innovations in vaping devices have finally given smokers myriad effective alternatives to cigarettes that also happen to be at least twice as effective at helping smokers quit as FDA’s approved drug therapies.

Supporting Independent Vape Retailers

VTA believes that smart public policy ensures that adult consumers can access their products through both brick and mortar and online channels of commerce.

Product Denials

VTA urges the FDA to remove illegal products from the market.

DID YOU KNOW

Vaping Flavored E-liquid
Helped Adult Smokers Quit

Flavored vapor products are designed to give adult users a more appealing alternative to cigarette smoking. Studies have shown that the availability of flavors is perhaps the single most important factor for those who successfully quit cigarettes by switching to vaping.

There is no serious evidence to suggest that flavors are more toxic or more dangerous than non-flavored products. Banning or severely limiting the most popular flavors will only hurt those who need vapor products – adult smokers trying to lead a healthier lifestyle by quitting cigarettes.

A frightening admission by @FDATobacco which confirms that it has completely lost sight of its mission to eradicate smoking. Even scarier considering it has used its left over resources to authorize the marketing of ~800 new combustibles ( >400 new…

"While vaping has risks, evidence also suggests that vaping can help adults quit smoking.” A simple yet powerful truth that Canadian & UK regulators are able to acknowledge, but that @FDATobacco continues to dissemble as 500K Americans die every year…
