The covering note and links to relevant documents are reproduced below. I hope it causes them to pause and reflect.

HOLDING THE BLOOMBERG ANTI-VAPING PROPAGANDA COMPLEX TO ACCOUNT An investigative report criticising Bloomberg’s anti-vaping stance draws a petulant response – we review the case BLOOMBERG SCRUTINISED. Unusually, a journalist decided to take a sceptical look at Bloomberg Philanthropies and its many proxies and the impact of their war against vaping. The result is an excellent _must-read_ piece by Mark Gunther (@MarcGunther ) in the Chronicle of Philanthropy: Bloomberg’s Millions Funded an Effective Campaign Against Vaping. Could It Do More Harm Than Good?(web archive
)
(23 March 2021).
It is first-class public-interest journalism, with some hard messages for Bloomberg but plenty of balancing comment too. THE RESPONSE. The interesting thing is that this drew a joint response from Kelly Henning of Bloomberg Philanthropies, Matthew Myers of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and Robin Koval of the Truth Initiative. See Vaping and Philanthropy: Debating Strategies That Work(web archive
).
There is a substrate of anger and panic in the letter that suggests that Gunther hit a raw nerve. What is unusual about this letter is that Henning, Myers and Koval actually try to defend their positions. Normally, they don’t defend their positions, they just assert them with millions of dollars of amplification. It offers a rare opportunity to provide a critique of their stance. So I have taken their response letter, broken it down into 15 propositions, and provided a response to each. Each section starts with a quote from the letter pulled out in a quote box in bold dark-blue. The letter is analysed in its entirety. _ >> read the full post_ Printable/PDF versionSHARE THIS:

WILL THE NETHERLANDS BECOME THE NEXT CASUALLY NEGLIGENT ALLY OF THE CIGARETTE TRADE? TWENTY-FOUR EXPERTS ADVISE A RETHINK So let’s make the e-cigs less appealing and see what happens… what could possibly go wrong? THE NETHERLANDS IS PROPOSING TO BAN E-CIGARETTE FLAVOURS – WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? The government of the Netherlands, led by Paul Blokhuis , State Secretary for Health, Welfare and Sport, is in imminent danger of fooling itself into becoming an unwitting ally of the cigarette trade. By taking measures to make vaping less attractive (notably by proposing a ban on all non-tobacco flavours for e-cigarettes), it threatens to degrade the appeal of a low-risk rival to cigarettes, provide regulatory protection to the cigarette trade, prolong smoking, obstruct quitting, and add to the burden of disease and death. All this in the name of protecting youth, while managing to harm both adults _and_ adolescents. Quite a feat for any politician. _The problem is hubris_ – believing that the world responds to regulation in the way the regulator thinks it should. Experience suggests foreseeable perverse consequences will be the result of the ill-conceived prohibitions of much safer alternatives to smoking, including flavoured e-cigarettes. It really isn’t difficult to understand why and how this would happen – I can only assume the State Secretary received very poor advice, which would not be unusual in this field. Nevertheless, twenty-four international experts have set out the arguments and evidence in detail in a submission to the Dutch government, hoping to spare Mr Blokhuis later embarrassment and, even more importantly, to avoid yet more death and disease from smoking in the Netherlands. It should also be a wake-up call to like-minded politicians and naive policymakers in the United States, European Union, and the World Health Organisation who continue to fail to grasp the impact of low-risk products in the real world. The case is set out in 30-page submission to a Dutch government consultation on the measure. The relevant documents are: * Government consultation page: Regulation of e-cigarette flavours * Justification for the measure: State Secterary’s supportingmemorandum
(translation)
* Full response from twenty-four experts: Regulation of e-cigarette flavours – a response (30 pages PDF) – or via the consultation site here To provide a more digestible version of the submission, I have included below the twelve sections of the summary below with a link to the corresponding twelve sections with more detail and references. _ >> read the full post_ Printable/PDF versionSHARE THIS:

TWENTY REASONS TO BE SCEPTICAL ABOUT RULES LOWERING NICOTINE LEVELS IN CIGARETTES - AND WHAT TO DO INSTEAD Well, that rather depends on how you ask the question To mark the annual US Food Drug and Law Institute Tobacco and Nicotine Products Regulation and Policy Conference (21-23 Oct), where FDA traditionally gives an update on its plans for nicotine regulation, I thought it worth noting that the centrepiece of its comprehensive strategy for nicotine seems to have disappeared. This would be a proposed rule lowering nicotine levels in cigarettes with a view to making them sub-addictive – persuading adults to quit and adolescents to never start. The trouble is that consumers, markets, producers, and criminal networks have a way of thwarting suchbold measures.
NOT IN THE WORK PLAN. The US Federal government periodically sets out its overall regulatory programme (the “Unified Agenda“). For Spring
2020, the Health and Human Services / FDA list (here)
continues to show the absence of effort on rule-making that would reduce nicotine concentrations in cigarettes to sub-addictive levels. This disappeared from the list last year. THE CENTREPIECE OF A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY. In July 2017, this measure was announced as the centrepiece of FDA’s strategy for tobacco/nicotine – a multi-year roadmap. It seems to have run out of road in less than three years, perhaps reaching a dead end with the departure of Scott Gottlieb – its most visible backer (speech, July 2017).
It caused quite an earthquake at the time and precipitated a sell-off in tobacco stocks that they have not so far recovered from. I have always been sceptical about this measure. Here are twenty reasons to be sceptical. _ >> read the full post_ Printable/PDF versionSHARE THIS:
