According to industry analyst Michelle Minton, the future for nicotine vaping in the United States looks “pretty brutal,” following the FDA's marketing denial orders, the vape mail ban, and the loss of synthetic nicotine as an ingredient in nicotine vapes. In the battle against anti-vaping forces, no one is more tenacious than Michelle Minton, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. As a researcher and writer on regulatory issues, Minton has delivered many hard-hitting articles and reports exposing corrupt motivations and tactics behind the most egregious efforts to destroy vaping.

Welcome back to TBN. Vape industry news, advocacy and information. We have really only one main topic today, but it's a doozie. Bloomberg and Campaign For Tobacco Free Kids have been meddling in foreign governments. Michelle Minton from CEI is here to help us break down her recent paper regarding some internal leaked Campaign For Tobacco Free Kids documents. For regular viewers of TBN this isn't going to seem like super shocking stuff, but believe it or not, it gets more shocking and now we actually have documents showing the agenda. Prohibition on all alternate forms of nicotine. They have the money and influence and they are starting with LMIC countries. I mean after USA and Canada, those were easy.

Michelle Minton, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, joins us this week to discuss vaping, tobacco use, sodium intake, and regulations for consumer products and practices viewed as "immoral."
Billionaire philanthropist Michael Bloomberg is well-known in America for incessant moralizing over the products he believes government should ban people from consuming, in the name of good public health. But few know the magnitude of Bloomberg's impact in developing countries around the world. Over the past decade, Bloomberg-funded organizations have made concerted efforts to eradicate low-risk nicotine products, such as vaping, in low and middle-income countries. They push narrow public health policies that disenfranchise and marginalize local populations. In part-2 of this RegWatch special series we are joined by Michelle Minton, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. Hear why she thinks Bloomberg's one size fits all policy is “insidious” and a throwback to the “colonialist origins of public health.” Only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com. Find out.

The Restoration of America's Wire Act (RAWA) is a piece of legislation that would extend the Federal Wire Act of 1961 to impose a federal ban on online gambling. Simultaneously, the bill would grant online activities like fantasy sports an exemption. But is it really an effort to limit gambling or is it crony politics? Michelle Minton of the Competitive Enterprise Institute will stop by to discuss it.

A tweet was issued this weekend from Michelle Minton of the Competitive Enterprise Institute warning that Charlie Dent, Pennsylvania Republican Representative was planning new initiatives to pursue Congress to ban all online gambling activities in the US. A big spending bill is scheduled this coming week, so some are speculating that the proposed prohibitions will be attached to the bill. Minton tweeted, â??Alert: Rep. Dent will offer approps amendment to ban state-based internet gambling with a vote as early as next week.â?? Michelle Minton has been keeping a close eye on every move Dent makes with his attempts to pursue legislation to ban online gambling. Full details of what Dent plans on doing is not clear yet, but what we do know is that a sneak attack with RAWA will be attempted just like it was before. The facts have been alerted with pro-state rights and online gambling as well as opposition for the 1,000-page spending bill that will have to be approved and passed before the end of September. There has been many failed campaigns with resurrecting the online gambling market in the US, and hopefully this will be another. Enter the world of Sheldon Adelson, a billionaire casino mogul and Republican donor with a net worth of $34.8 billion. From the Las Vegas Sands of Nevada, to the Venetian Macao of Macua, Adelsonâ??s casinos are renowned the world over. However, innovation in the form of online gambling represents a clear and existential threat to this gaming empire. Will congressional Republicans stoop to blatant cronyism to preserve it? Restoration of Americaâ??s Wire Act (RAWA) is a piece of legislation that would extend the Federal Wire Act of 1961 to impose a federal ban on online gambling. Simultaneously, the bill would grant online activities like fantasy sports an exemption. Darryl Nirenberg, the author of RAWA, is a registered lobbyist for Adelsonâ??s company. In the years since its inception, RAWA has never advanced any further than receiving a few hearings. Currently, RAWA is stopped in Congress, but some fear that an amendment will be offered to the State Justice Commerce Appropriations bill in committee as soon as next week. In any case, usage of the term â??restorationâ?? in the legislationâ??s title is a misnomer, considering the Federal Wire Act of 1961 did not apply to the use of the Internet as a wagering medium. Michelle Minton, a fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, wrote a paper in 2014, detailing the original intent of the act, which was to combat the source of organized crimeâ??s revenueâ??namely bookkeeping on horseracing and sports gambling, utilizing the telephone and telegraph systems. This legislation represents a naked attempt to shield Sheldon Adelsonâ??s gambling industry from free market competition, wielding his considerable influence on Congress. In 2016, Adelson gave $5 million to support Donald Trump, and $40 million to Republican congressional candidates. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) introduced the first version of RAWA in June of 2015. Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) quickly followed suit that very next year, only one day after revelations came to light that Adelson gave $20 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC with ties to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). The Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling, an organization backed by Sheldon Adelson himself, has attempted to portray online gambling as negative and addictive, predictably offering RAWA as a solution to this non-existent problem. If RAWA was intended to cut down on addictive habits, it would not grant exemptions to fantasy sports, which incidentally have no impact on the market share of Adelsonâ??s casinos."

"I want to like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 92% (R-Florida). In fact, I want to love him. I want to support him for president. I thought his debate performance was magnificent. He was clear, concise and consistent. It’s clear Rubio has a Reaganesque speaking and communications skills lacking in the DNA of most GOP candidates. But I cannot. While Rubio might have Reagan’s communication skills, he lacks Reagan’s core principled beliefs, particularly when it comes to federalism. Rubio ran and was elected as an outsider. Yet within moments of arriving in the U.S. Senate he decided to hold hands and get into bed with liberal Democrat Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on immigration. That bothers me. No doubt. But what bothers me more is Rubio’s willingness to abandon principles to help big money donors and contributors even when they trample of core constitutional principles. First, it is clear that Rubio has decided to play footsie with billionaire establishment donor Sheldon Adelson in order to win the “Adelson primary.” The winner of the “Adelson primary” can be the beneficiary of millions of dollars in political spending. Adleson cares about three issues — Israel; a prohibition on Internet gaming and re-establishment federal power and regulation on marijuana policy. In two of the cases — Internet gambling and pot regulation — Adelson’s position runs counter to that of a limited federal government. Gambling has always been regulated by the states. Each state has a different law and a different way of dealing with the issue. Hawaii and Utah have no legal gambling while other states allow everything from lotteries to riverboat gambling. Whether you support gambling or not, this is the proper way to regulate it — is in 50 state legislatures and not in Washington. In comes Mr. Adelson. Adleson stood by and watched New Jersey and two other states legalize online gambling for their residents. Instead of pressing his case in Trenton and other state capitals, he turned to his friends in Washington to overturn these state laws. Mr. Rubio and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) 44% (R-SC) were willing to lend a helping hand, introducing legislation drafted by Mr. Adleson’s personal lobbyist. During a recent radio interview, Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Michelle Minton noted that legislation proposed by Rubio and Graham would redefine intrastate commerce conducted by two parties on the Internet both within a state as interstate commerce to be regulated by the federal government. This radical expansion of federal power will limit Adelson’s competition — state regulated online gaming. Then Rubio also declared war on Colorado and other states that have legalized marijuana. Rubio, in concert with the Adelson’s position, is the only GOP candidate willing to have the federal government enforce a war on pot, even against states that exercised their right to legalize the plant. So much for a limited federal government and granting power to the states. It’s not just Adelson issues that Rubio is willing to sell his soul. At a recent gathering of libertarians, Rubio defended his stalwart support of the sugar subsidy by saying he would only oppose the subsidy when other countries abandoned their subsidy programs. Of course, the beneficiary of the sugar subsidy is the Fanjul Brothers, the most powerful sugar tycoons in the world. It’s no surprise the Fanjul family are political contributors to Mr. Rubio. Rather than being a principled conservative, Rubio is more of a Simon Cameron conservative. Cameron is, of course, Lincoln’s Secretary of War who said, ” An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.” Michelle Minton, is the Director of "Sindustry Studies" at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, where she promotes Liberty by defending the likes of gamblers, smokers, drinkers, junk food eaters, & insurance agents (basically one and the same).
