The American vaping industry is driven by small businesses across the country that simply want clarity. @DrMakary, it’s time to work together to create transparent regulations that protect adult access to vaping products and keep our kids safe.

VTA agrees with Peter Mihalick that “The @fdatobcco, @ATF, and @CBP are undermining @realDonaldTrump's promise to save an industry.”

He must have missed Brian King's statement in 2022 that there is NO vaping epidemic. And youth vaping rates have fallen significantly since. He is so misinformed & misguided it is scary! He sees no issue destroying 1,000s of vaping…

Important piece from Lindsey Stroud and Christian Josi on how @fdatobacco’s failures have created state overreach on vaping: “Until the FDA streamlines and modernizes its process, states will continue stepping in, with inconsistent and often counterproductive results. The blame…

JUUL holds a minority stake in the U.S. market. @FDAtobacco, why approve their products while ignoring other, more popular products?

The FDA’s approval of JUUL is a long-overdue recognition of vaping’s role in harm reduction. But one approval isn’t enough. The majority of the U.S. market — mostly American small businesses — remains under threat. It’s time for real, consistent…
