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.

This is episode #3 of the Sexploitation podcast, I’m here today with Dawn Hawkins from NCOSE, and today we’re talking about the question “Does Facebook Facilitate Sex Trafficking?” We think of sex trafficking as only occurring in dingy dungeons, but really so much of it has moved online – it’s a digital age – you no longer need to “know a guy” or go to the seedy side of town to have access to information about buying sex – now access to what was previously an underground business is just a few clicks away. Is sex trafficking happening on FB? Dawn Hawkins shares that it is. Pimps and traffickers are using social media sites like Facebook to "market" their "product." Often girls will post pictures and be smiling and seem like they are freely engaging, but sometimes they are being coerced behind the scenes. Facebook doesn't want to be used this way, and they're trying to fix the problem, but they could be doing more. Other websites like Snapchat and Backpage, however, aren't taking any real steps to prevent this problem. In 2010, Craiglist shut down its section for sex ads after getting criticized by state attorneys general and advocacy groups for its role in facilitating sex trafficking. (Unfortunately, it’s still probably taking place under thin code words elsewhere on the site) So why aren't these websites being held accountable for at leas better monitoring and finding better solutions through technology? Answer: The Communications Decency Act Loop Hole These companies are hiding behind a law that has been completely misinterpreted by our high courts - the Communications Decency Act. Congress intended that this law help protect children from exposure to Internet pornography. The act included a defense, Section 230, for Internet providers, protecting them from liability for material posted to their sites by 3rd parties. Thus, if illegal pornography or other material is posted to a site by someone not associated with the site operator, the site was to be held blameless. Section 230 was well intentioned, but when the substantive portions of the CDA were held unconstitutional, the 230 defense was left standing and has been used by companies like Backpage, which holds its site out as a place to advertise illegal conduct such as sex trafficking of women and children.  Congress never intended this result, yet some courts have ruled that the 230 defense provides, in effect, blanket website immunity for all material posted by 3rd parties on the sites. Call to Action: contact your representatives and ask them to amend the CDA: http://pornharmsaction.com/app/write-a-letter?4&engagementId=40389 You can also learn more here: EndSexualExploitation.org/Facebook

This is episode #2 of the Sexploitation podcast, I’m here today with Dawn Hawkins from NCOSE, and today we’re talking about the question “Is Porn Really a Public Health Crisis?” This question has been everywhere lately. Utah passed a formal state resolution declaring pornography a public health crisis in the summer of 2016, then that fall the RNC added the same language to its official republican platform, and presidential nominee at the time of this recording wrote a letter to the organization Enough is Enough stating that she is supportive of protecting children against the harms of pornography. All of this has happened within the last year! Heck, Time magazine had a cover story on the harms of pornography to men. This sudden burst of discussion on this topic has a lot of people scratching their heads and wondering “where this came from.”   Dawn Hawkins shares with us that this problem has grabbed the public's attention because of the number of people who've been harmed by pornography and who are now speaking up, and also the rising amount of research.  What is a public health crisis? There is no commonly agreed upon definition. The World Health Organization vaguely defines a crisis as a “situation that is perceived as difficult” and in 2012 the CDC said a crisis tends to occur when “an unexpected and threatening event requires an immediate response.” I think we can raise the bar even higher and say “A serious, harmful, problem that affects individuals or groups beyond their capacity alone to correct.” Pornography is definitely pervasive. Families can't protect themselves, even kids as young as 10 years old are being exposed to pornography and then begin using it.   Porn has serious harms to a range of categories: Childhood sexual development The brain Sexual dysfunctions like ED Increased risk of STDs Sexual violence, and more.  Dawn discussed how she believes porn today will follow the trend of the tobacco industry in public perception. Pornography is pervasive and popular, similar to smoking in the 1950s, but as the harms become apparent, both the general public and elected officials will demand that a multidisciplinary public health approach be implemented across the country to address it. Call to Action: Write your representative and ask them to address this public health crisis: http://pornharmsaction.com/pornharms/app/write-a-letter?6&engagementId=100413

The FDA has massively misplayed their hand with the e-cig deeming regulations. I’m going to predict what will happen in 90 days when the market freeze goes into effect, as well as the state of the industry three years from now. Thanks to Cisco, Ed Wolff, and Shaun Casey from Flavour Art for joining me in this discussion. Support HR 2058 here: http://cqrcengage.com/casaa/app/write-a-letter?0&engagementId=101154

Hey listeners! Welcome to Episode 8 of the Culture Of Clouds podcast! In this week's episode, we dedicate the entire show to the new California legislation and the release of the final FDA deeming regulations. We talk about everything including how the legislation in California came to be, to how it will effect not only Californians, but everyone. And we also discuss the newly released FDA regulations and how they will completely change the face of the vaping industry. So let's unite, stay calm, and keep on vaping! REMEMBER: We are not legal experts, lawyers, or analysts. If we missed a particular fact, you can blame Math A. Thanks for listening everyone!

Shrouded in secrecy, the Trans-Pacific Partnership is making both members of Congress and the general public uneasy. While President Obama claims that the TPP will benefit American workers, critics say the agreement will create a corporate dictatorship. More recently, Infowars reported that Gun Owners of America warned that the TPP might be a backdoor approach to gun control. Watch the report for more information on this important trade agreement.
