Podcast appearances and mentions of brad rodu

The research flow of “exaggerated” and “distorted” information about safer nicotine products is “not going to end any time soon,” says Dr. Brad Rodu, professor of medicine from the University of Louisville. Rodu has made a career battling forces responsible for pushing suspect science in the field of tobacco control. In this episode of RegWatch, he takes the CDC to task over EVALI and its teen vaping and smoking-related deaths data. Is there truth behind the CDC's numbers? Find out!

I chat with Professor Brad Rodu, DDS, School of Medicine at the University of Louisville. For twenty-five years Dr. Rodu has published research on tobacco harm reduction, involving the adoption of vastly safer tobacco products by smokers who are unable or unwilling to quit with conventional cessation methods.  Professor Brad Rodu --- https://louisville.edu/medicine/research/cancer/bkrodu01Professor Rodu’s Blog - Tobacco Truth -- https://rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.com/VIEW --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5JKJC9prqNuvrcR844cLjwLISTEN --- https://www.thestrongandfreepodcast.com/episodes/FOLLOW --- https://twitter.com/StrongnFreePodREAD --- https://thestrongandfreepodcast.medium.com/PODCAST SETUPMicrophone - https://amzn.to/3dezxubAmplifier - https://amzn.to/3rv0mQ6Light - https://amzn.to/3tY6u4XRATE THIS PODCAST --- https://www.thestrongandfreepodcast.com/reviews/new/CONTACT ME --- https://www.thestrongandfreepodcast.com/contact/

Welcome back to Tuesday Bro Tuesday. Same show by name only. Each week for roughly a dangle clack free hour and a half we will all be discussing the topics of the day. As well as current breaking news from the world of vaping, nicotine and tobacco harm reduction. Today's topics include Gretchen Whitmer, yeah it's ok for us to still be angry at her. Were going to talk about the new American Vapor Manufacturers group as well as another installment of Brad Rodu can predict the future. All links will be on GrimmGreen.com

Dr. Brad Rodu, professor of medicine and tobacco control expert from the University of Louisville made a career battling forces responsible for promulgating suspect science in the field of tobacco harm reduction: there's been no shortage of need for his effort. Regulators, public health agencies and colleagues in academia relentlessly use skewed science and cooked statistics in an effort to delegitimize safer alternatives to smoking. In this episode of RegWatch Dr. Rodu discusses events behind the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA) retraction of a major study by authors Stanton Glantz and Dharma Bhatta of the University of California San Francisco that purported to show nicotine vaping led to an increase in heart attacks. The study fueled national panic over vaping and Dr. Rodu led the effort questioning the work. Also, Dr. Rodu addresses RegWatch's recent questioning of the estimates for annual smoking-related deaths: Why is it that smoking rates continue to fall and the forecasts of smoking deaths stay the same? We dive into Dr. Rodu's ground-breaking 2008 report: Calculating the ‘Big Kill' Only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com Live Streamed: February 26, 2020 Produced by: Brent Stafford Make RegWatch happen, go to: support(dot)regulatorwatch(dot)com

Dr. Rodu is a Professor of Medicine and holds an endowed chair in tobacco harm reduction research at the University of Louisville James Graham Brown Cancer Center. For two decades, he has been in the forefront of research and policy development regarding tobacco harm reduction, which informs smokers who are unable or unwilling to quit about vastly safer tobacco products such as smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes. Rodu is the author of For Smokers Only: How Smokeless Tobacco Can Save Your Life, available at Amazon and as an audio book at Audible.

Seventy-year-old Jim stopped smoking cigarettes about 8 years ago after trying to quit “about 2,000 times.”  He began smoking at age 19 while serving in Vietnam during the war, developing a strong habit and continuing smoking for the next 43 years.  His was a nearly 2-3 pack-a-day habit.  Jim tried everything in his quest to quit; pharmaceuticals, hypnosis, and even e-cigarettes.  He tried the devices for six full months before concluding it just wasn't working for him.  Jim desperately wanted to try something else to help him quit for good.  Jim's discovery of Swedish Snus however provided some hope of controlling his addiction to nicotine.  While he still uses alternate forms of nicotine, he no longer is smoking.   Smoking cessation expert Dr. Brad Rodu joins the conversation with advice and analysis.

Considering the ceaseless media coverage and the constant threat of retribution by regulators and anti-vaping non-profit health groups, one would think there exists a large body of scientific evidence to back up the claim that youth vaping has become a public health crisis; but apparently, there is not. Or, if the evidence exists, it's not been made available to the public, the industry or to other researchers who specialize in tobacco harm reduction. Why not? Find out in this extended RegWatch interview with Dr. Brad Rodu, Professor of Medicine at the University of Louisville, Kentucky and 25-year veteran tobacco harm reduction.

We've been talking a lot about scams lately. Here's another one. This time it's a phony psychic. Remember Miss Cleo? It's like that, only much, much bigger. Meanwhile, smoking isn't a scam per se, but it certainly does take your money. Vaping is better about that. And the cancer thing.

Hour 1: Dr. Hooman Azmi discussed studies showing hospital stays are hazardous for Parkinson’s patients and efforts to improve the care of Parkinson’s patients at Hackensack Meridian University Health Center in New Jersey. Hour 2: Dr. Brad Rodu ,University of Louisville Endowed chair in tobacco harm research, discussed reasons for the reduction in the number of Americans who smoke and  New York state’s proposed ban for all flavors of E-Cigarettes.

Dr. Brad Rodu discuss the new study on smokeless tobacco products and the effect it has on the human body. Brad Rodu is a Senior Fellow of the Heartland Institute and holds the Endowed Chair in Tobacco Harm Reduction Research at the University of Louisville’s James Graham Brown Cancer Center. Rodu’s research focuses on the substitution of safer tobacco products by smokers who are unable or unwilling to quit smoking with conventional cessation methods because of their addiction to nicotine. His research in comparative epidemiology established the scientific foundation for harm reduction and he continues to study clinical and social interventions aimed at harm reduction. Prior to taking on his current position at U of L, Rodu served on the faculty of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He earned his D.D.S. at the Ohio State University, completed a residency in oral pathology at Emory University in Atlanta, and was awarded NCI and ACS fellowships at UAB.   www.buildgrowandenjoy.com

1:25 Today is the deadline for submitting comments to the FDA regarding the NNN content of smokeless tobacco. http://cqrcengage.com/casaa/app/act-on-a-regulation?0&engagementId=373393 2:03 CASAA submitted their comment in no small part due to the efforts of Julie Woessner,Brian Carter and Alex Clark with an assist from Amelia Howard. 2:30 FDA promulgated a rule January 23 to restrict the level of NNN (N'-Nitrosonornicotine.) Brad Rodu and Carl Phillips break this down and show this is based on faulty math. http://rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.com/search?q=NNN https://antithrlies.com/2017/07/09/sunday-science-lesson-toxicology-and-the-chains-in-american-football/ 5:29 This isn't a chemical that is added to any tobacco product,this is a naturally occuring substance. 8:04 Our comment http://casaa.org/news/casaa-submits-comment-on-fdas-smokeless-tobacco-standards-rule/ 8:32 This rule was rushed at the very end of the Obama administrations tenure. 9:30 A point made by Brian Fotik from the Reason Foundation which should not be overlooked in this mess is that within hours of the rule being published there were comments from the AAP,ACSCAN,AHA,ALA,CFTFK and Truth Initiative. 12:47 What the public thinks it knows about smokeless tobacco is not the entire truth of the subject at all. What we know is based on data that is not exclusive to smokeless moist snuff. 16:14 The same misinformation campagin used against smokeless tobacco is the one being used against vaping as well. 17:30 With a very heavy asist from Atakan Befrits board member http://INNCO.org and NNA Sweden,CASAA submitted a letter in support of the Swedish government to update evidence about the benefits of Swedish Snus. To add to this the NNN has been added to a court case in the European Court of Justice https://nnalliance.org/blog/165-update-on-the-challenge-to-the-ban-on-snus-next-step-the-european-court-of-justice challenging the snus ban in Europe. 22:16 A brief history of smokeless tobacco's ban in Europe appears in this book https://www.amazon.com/Art-Suppression-Pleasure-Panic-Prohibition/dp/0956226531 24:00 Sting Free Snus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDo4bbIzdv4 28:28 Alex Clark and Jule Wessoner will be in Washington DC at VTA Vape and The FDA confrence on July 18 and 19. Senator Ron Johnson is the keynote speaker. Sally Satel will also be presenting at the confrence. Alex and Julie will be presenting along with Jake Butcher state affaris manager for VTA. The talk will be about engaging at the local level. 31:15 Minnesota https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RllZU0LAEsIOaNZIPQ8QZQDeP3iY5fjohawDpEs6Hls/edit#gid=0 37:25 Newsletter http://casaa.org/news/casaa-newsletter-june-2017/ A book recommendation on how prohobitionist's think: Velvet Glove Iron Fist https://www.amazon.com/Velvet-Glove-Iron-Fist-Anti-Smoking/dp/0956226507/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1499739504&sr=1-1&keywords=9780956226501 40:24 Another book recommendation Chasing the Scream by Johan Hari a very comprehensive history of the war on drugs.

:29 St Louis Snus Con update. 20-25 people gathered in St Louis to discuss snus and tobacco harm reduction. First speaker was Brad Rodu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdpj7gDGbD0&index=5&list=PLhumHnqM4C7t16o7b3F3SJwPVbiAwg9Dr Dr Rodu's blog is a must read. http://rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.com/ 3:48 Lars Renquist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JIa3TYH1Ro&index=1&list=PLhumHnqM4C7t16o7b3F3SJwPVbiAwg9Dr 4:36 Swedish Match's MRTP application. That's being able to market your product as a modified risk product. 5:31 How hard it is to get this to market as a modified risk product. There is no clear path showing you how to do it and only Swedish Match has been able to accomplish that. 6:17 No real answer to the question of whether the MRTP application was supposed to be a Substantial Equivalence Application. But that rumor which has been floating around for a bit was acknowledged. This of course is a political decision but this is in the agency's best interest politically to approve one because they had never done so before. 8:01 Alex Clark and Brian Carter of CASAA spoke. No record of that is on You Tube as there was a lack of space on the sd card. There should be an interview with Chad jones and Alex and Brian sometime soon. 8:30 Larry Waters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-_s_5ZUVSE&index=2&list=PLhumHnqM4C7t16o7b3F3SJwPVbiAwg9Dr 9:10 Brian Carter's piece on Snus Con http://casaa.org/news/there-was-a-snus-convention-in-st-louis/ 9:33 Brian Carter put together our Trifold documment on smokeless tobacco which you can get here.

1:29 California flavor bans 1:51 Contra Costa County 2:00 Los Gatos May 16 Ordinance passed has exemption for shops deriving 60% or more of their revenue from tobacco. Not bad for vape shops but pulls them out of gas stations and convenience stores. 3:20 Oakland 3:36 Palo Alto California 3:41 Palo Alto and Oakland have the same exemption that Los Gatos has. 3:55 San Leandro Possible hearing June 5. City attorney looking into possible ways to enforce. 4:29 San Francisco the largest and worst. This even goes after menthol products. 4:49 A bit on legislation and how many commissions legislation has to go through before it becomes a law. 5:40 This legislation goes before the public safety and neighborhoods committee. 6:02 San Francisco has 5 vapor shops serving 8 hundred thousand people. 6:16 A bit on vulnerable communities and higher smoking rates. 7:00 Flavor ban legislation being promoted as protecting those communities. 7:20 San Francisco had an existing definition of tobacco products that included vapor products before this legislation was even proposed. http://casaa.org/call-to-action/san-francisco-ca-stop-the-flavor-ban/ 7:50 Gateway myth. 8:00 Removal of menthol. 10:01 These policies put these communities at a disadvantage. 11:01 San Francisco's participation has been very low historically so it's harder to fight this sort of legislation. 14:45 A personal anecdote about nurses and doctors especially doctors who do their homework and nurses who may be misinformed. 17:04 Tobacco 21 legislation in Florida did not pass. 17:34 New York http://casaa.org/call-to-action/ny-help-us-stop-two-bills-that-would-restrict-access-to-and-use-of-vapor-products/ These bills passed the assembly with very little resistance. There is a lot of pressure on the senate to move the house bills. In New York as your senators to oppose an indoor use ban and oppose the tobacco 21 legislation. 22:37 In years past the Senate has been reluctant to move these bills forward. 23:10 How close Cole/Bishop was to being included in the budget. 26:06 With Cole/Bishop out of play until September possibly our next substantive legislative steps. 26:19 Legislative delay. 27:58 Next six months critical for vapor retailers and manufacturers.This is also critical for the wide variety of products available to consumers. 29:03 Urge lawmakers to co-sponsorHR 1136 https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1136 29:40 More aggressive local tobacco control legislative issues will occur. 30:06 How can we help with getting people engaged locally?

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP On the subject of smoking, health risks differ from one form of smoking product to another. Yet these differences aren't always well understood by health professionals. Is there such a thing as a "safe" tobacco alternative, or is smoking cessation the only viable choice for risk reduction?Joining Dr. Brian McDonough to discuss the literature on tobacco harm reduction, as well as review the broadening spectrum of smoking formulations, from cigarettes to smokeless tobacco products to e-cigarette devices, is Dr. Brad Rodu, Endowed Chair in Tobacco Harm Reduction Research from the University of Louisville School of Medicine.
