The FDA's anti-vaping regime—once thought untouchable—is being dismantled. Mass layoffs, shuttered offices, and the removal of Brian King as Director of the Center for Tobacco Products all signal a massive restructuring the U.S. vaping industry has long called for. Joining RegWatch to unpack the scope and significance of these unprecedented moves is Tony Abboud, Executive Director of the Vapor Technology Association. We dig into the broken PMTA process, the Supreme Court's decision in FDA v. Wages and White Lion, and the role of misinformation in shaping nicotine policy. Along the way, the hypocrisy of a regulatory system that blocked flavored vapes while authorizing hundreds of new cigarettes comes into full view—as does the question of whether President Trump is finally making good on his promise to save vaping.

Tony Abboud, Executive Director of the Vapor Technology Association. Response to the FDA's Latest Attempt to Ban Flavored Vapes Via Import “Red List”
With only days remaining in the 2024 U.S. presidential race, it's crunch time for the candidates—and for nicotine vape consumers and the businesses that drive the U.S. vaping industry. One candidate, former President Donald Trump, announced in September that he "saved vaping" in 2019 and vows to do it again if elected to a second term. Yet, some remain unconvinced, given Trump's mixed record on vaping. In contrast, Vice President Kamala Harris has no personal track record on vaping, but the Democratic Party certainly does—and much of it is concerning for the industry. Flavor bans, teen vaping hysteria, misinformation, and distorted science have characterized the Democratic stance on vaping. Would a Harris presidency lead to a turnaround in the party and potentially at the FDA? Joining us today to unpack the promises and pitfalls of each candidate is Tony Abboud, Executive Director of the Vapor Technology Association. Will the next U.S. president save vaping?

Tony Abboud, the Executive Director of Vapor Technology Association. Vape Exec. on FDA's Allegiance to Big Tobacco
Does the regulator responsible for overseeing tobacco products in the U.S. believe in the practice of tobacco harm reduction? According to FDA Commissioner Robert Califf, the answer is a resounding no. Appearing before the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform, Califf repeatedly dismissed THR as an “industry term” and refused to answer questions on the topic. Joining us today to discuss the ramifications of the commissioner's testimony is Tony Abboud, executive director of the Vapor Technology Association. We review informed questioning by U.S. House Reps and take a deep dive into problematic responses by the commissioner. Only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.

What will the U.S. FDA do now? With the release of the 2023 National Youth Tobacco Survey, it's now not only certain the so-called “epidemic” of teen vaping is over, but it looks like it was mostly hype in the first place. In the last four years, the teen vaping rate crashed to a historic low, dropping over 60% since its 2019 high. Joining us today is Tony Abboud, executive director of the Vapor Technology Association. He says the 2023 NYTS data fundamentally undercuts the FDA's teen vaping narrative, which it has gripped onto for years while pushing the myth that flavors drive youth vaping. Will the FDA reverse course? Find out!

It's the greatest threat to confront vaping, and likely you may have missed it. Over the past 18 months, a dangerous misinformation campaign has emerged, falsely linking nicotine vapes to fentanyl. The media calls fentanyl-laced nicotine vapes an alarming trend that may be poisoning kids. A possibility that FDA Commissioner Robert Califf recently told Congress was likely only a matter of time. Joining us today to talk through the details of this threat is Tony Abboud, Executive Director of the Vapor Technology Association. Could this be another EVALI? Find out!

On Monday, the Reagan-Udall Foundation released its report evaluating the FDA's tobacco program, and its findings are remarkable, if not shocking. The expert panel cited numerous examples where the agency lacked sufficient strategic planning, useful and timely guidance, and internal leadership on critical issues, such as finding a balance between science and policy. The Reagan-Udall panel goes as far as to say that FDA's Center for Tobacco Products has “struggled to function as a regulator in part due to its own policy choices.” Joining us today to discuss the report is Tony Abboud, Executive Director of the Vapor Technology Association.

It's blatant, and some think shameful, the degree to which political interference and anti-vaping ideology have hijacked the FDA's approval process for nicotine vaping products. Recent comments released by the Reagan-Udall Foundation in its review of the FDA and its Center for Tobacco Products prove as much. Joining us today is Tony Abboud, the Executive Director at the Vapor Technology Association. We take a deep dive into the problems at FDA and CTP. We discuss the industry's court challenge to California's flavor ban and its economic impact. And we learn about VTA's recommendation for dealing with the flood of disposables on the market.

Is the FDA finally getting serious about fighting combustible cigarettes? For the past several years, it's been hard to tell, considering the agency's animus towards nicotine vaping. But some say FDA's recent move to ban menthol cigarettes may be “particularly effective” in reducing smoking, especially if FDA makes mint and menthol flavored e-cigarettes available as an option to switch. In this episode of RegWatch, hear why Tony Abboud, the Executive Director at the Vapor Technology Association, believes the Menthol Cigarette Rule could be the most significant step FDA has taken to protect public health, but only if the agency follows its own science on e-cigarettes. Plus, get a full update on the FDA's Juul ban, the status of synthetic nicotine products, and the startling news about a top FDA official who jumped to a new job at Phillip Morris International, the world's largest tobacco company.

With the deadline for PMTA submissions for synthetic nicotine products now closed, the U.S. vaping industry is again held hostage to FDA's plodding regulatory review process and closed mind regarding the authorization of nicotine vapes. FDA's track record is dismal, issuing Marketing Denial Orders for millions of existing products and refusing to allow non-tobacco flavors. Is there any reason to believe the agency might approve synthetic nicotine products?

From the VTA, guest Tony Abboud will talk about national updates, some outstanding news and what's happening after the PMTA deadline.
Under assault by a killer pandemic and crushed by public health's response, it has become the mantra of the moment: “We are all in this together!” While this statement is heartfelt, do governmental actions in the battle against COVID19 match the sentiment, when it comes to vaping in America? The U.S. vaping industry has certainly stepped up in this time of need, by manufacturing hand sanitizers, delivering masks and servicing customers who rely on vaping as a safer alternative to smoking, yet the assault on vaping continues. As if stay at home orders and a national economic shutdown are not enough to devastate the U.S. vaping industry, flavor bans (such as the one in the state of New York) continue to wreak havoc and threaten lives across the country. In this episode of RegWatch, we are joined by Tony Abboud, the Executive Director at the Vapor Technology Association, the leading lobby group for the U.S. vaping industry. Get the latest updates on the most critical issues, including the fight against state flavor bans, the status of FDA's PMTA deadline, the slanderous linking of COVID19 with vaping, and the determined effort by public health to isolate, stigmatize and delegitimize vaping.

It was a pinnacle moment for the U.S. vaping industry. At the White House on Friday, vaping industry leaders met face-to-face with anti-vaping opponents, public-health advocates and President Trump in what was billed as a “listening session” to address the surge in underage vaping. Issues concerning flavors (including a flavor ban) captivated the discussion and provided for much of the disagreement. President Trump did more than just listen he also led the conversation, demonstrating a significant understanding of the importance of flavors to adult vapers and for the success of the industry. In this episode of RegWatch get critical insights and reactions from inside the meeting with session participant and leading industry rep Tony Abboud, the Executive Director of the Vapor Technology Association, and Jon Glauser, VTA Executive Board Member and industry powerhouse.
