There remains a worryingly large amount of research on vaping which makes casual, almost always negative, assumptions…and the occasional item which is so faulty it should never have been published at all
Recent figures show young US adults are smoking less tobacco and using more cannabis – but is this cause-and-effect, and if so, where does vaping fit into the picture?
The magazine headline said: “More Teens Are Vaping Within 5 Minutes of Waking”. So where does that attention-grabbing line come from, what does it really reveal – and whose line is it anyway?
While nobody seriously argues that combustibles shouldn’t be taxed, the taxation of novel nicotine products has always been a controversial issue
In demonising nicotine, have many of vaping’s bitterest opponents across the globe got their sights trained on the wrong enemy?
Scientists studying nicotine levels in disposable e-cigs found claims weren’t always backed up by facts. In fact, if their sample is truly representative and their methods accurate, vapers may be getting sold short
After the victory of right-wing parties in Sweden’s very close election, the country’s vaping sector – and its customers – may well be breathing a sigh of relief; perhaps a peppermint- or caramel- or blueberry-scented sigh
Another day, another judgement in the saga of the US vapour industry’s cases against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over its handling of the premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) process
Research into e-cigarettes is dominated by American scientists and a few names emerge as clear leaders in the field, despite the involvement of thousands of scholars over the last decade
This week’s financial report from Japan Tobacco International tells a tale that should make bedroom and boardroom reading for government officials, public health departments and regulators everywhere
Could the UK’s Khan review of tobacco policy have lessons for the rest of the world in its enthusiastic endorsement of vaping, even for countries where there is far more hostility toward novel tobacco products?
As far as we can tell, God has no opinion on the subject of vaping. Science, almost equally unhelpfully, has plenty of opinions – and they don’t all agree
Questions are sure to arise as to how any mandatory reduction in nicotine in combustibles might affect e-cigarettes too, either in the form of increased (or reduced) competition or possible parallel regulation
US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) actions in the name of public health threaten to have the opposite effect by leaving the vaping sector in the hands of big tobacco, a vaping association claims
Speaking at the launch of the seventh edition of the Atlas, US public health scholar Jeffrey Drope suggested that new nicotine technologies are “a huge distraction” which have “confused governments, the public health community and the public”
The $16bn takeover of Swedish Match by Philip Morris International (PMI) suggests that PMI may be moving further away from vaping as part of its smoke-free portfolio and goals
What are the implications of the FDA’s menthol plan for novel nicotine products such as e-cigarettes and heated tobacco?
E-cigs are meant to be an aid to quitting smoking: now, perhaps inevitably, comes a device that promises to help people quit vaping. But is it all it’s cracked up to be?
What will Michele Mital’s reign as acting director of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) mean in terms of policy?
Michele Mital’s appointment as acting head of the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) is not bad news for the industry, even if it’s not quite good news. And there may be bigger change at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
A no-doubt well-meaning ballot measure enthusiastically taken up by voters just 18 months ago now has General Assembly members in the US state of Colorado tied up in a knot of their own making
