NATIONAL: (CALL TO ACTION) A bill to fund President Biden's "Build Back Better" plan includes OUTRAGEOUS NICOTINE TAXES, increasing the costs of low risk products helping people quit smoking and going back on his promise to not raise taxes on lower income people.

Stop a Massive Federal Tax on Safer Nicotine Products!

I believe the Like to "Bill Text - (P. 714-723) SEC. 138504. INCREASE IN TAX ON CERTAIN TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND IMPOSITION OF TAX ON NICOTINE." is Broken on the CASAA page.

Working! Thanks.

ADVOCACY: (US NICOTINE TAX) "The fact that some Democrats are skittish about the tax should encourage vapers to pour on the opposition, messaging representatives and senators (through the [CASAA] call to action) and calling their offices." ~Jim McDonald, CASAA Director

RESEARCH: GSU News asks if vaping is SAFER than smoking, but the research itself seems focused only on “vaping harm." As very few non-smokers vape, hopefully co-investigator Roby Greenwald will also compare exposures to cigarette smoke and acknowledge harm reduction potential.

Here's an article I think is relevant:

MILLE LACS COUNTY, MN: (UPDATE) County officials may actually listen to their constituents and NOT ban low risk, flavored nicotine and tobacco alternatives to smoking. The board is expected to vote on the measure at the next regular board meeting.

RESEARCH: "Systematic reviews carried out by Cochrane Collaboration (an international network of researchers belonging to this independent, not-for-profit organization) are recognized worldwide as the highest standard in evidence-based healthcare."

The most recent Cochrane Review--of 61 completed studies, representing 16,759 participants--once again finds that there is "moderate‐certainty evidence that ECs with nicotine increase quit rates compared to NRT" and "did not detect evidence of harm."

ANTI-VAPING IN THE MEDIA: We applaud @metrotimes editor-in-chief @leedevito for calling out @nytimes for its bad reporting on vaping! We hope he'll also look into why anti-vaping groups choose to focus on the misleading "current use" stat vs "daily use."

The NYT still doesn't understand the difference between vaping black-market weed and regular e-cigs

TOBACCO HARM REDUCTION: Most people WRONGLY believe all tobacco use--even Swedish snus--is as deadly as smoking. Tobacco control expert David Sweanor says that is because the attacks on smoke-free tobacco "have long been moralistic, irrational, and decidedly counterproductive."
