VTA Statement: Response to SCOTUS Decision to Overturn Chevron The Dark Side of San Francisco’s E-Cigarette Ban ABOUT VTA ​​The leading vapor industry trade association fighting for science based policy that ensures the continued growth of our industry. VTA protects small business owners and their employees by ensuring the long-term viability of the vapor industry. VTA promotes greater public health through smart regulations and responsible public policies. VTA advocates for the industry by engaging with decision makers to shape policy and dispel distorted and misleading information about nicotine and vapor products. VTA’s members are dedicated to innovating and selling high-quality vapor products that provide adult smokers with a better alternative to combustible cigarettes. VTA represents the industry-leading manufacturers of vapor devices, e-liquids, and flavorings, distributors and suppliers, as well as retailers, including hardworking American brick-and-mortar retail store owners. About VTA Priorities Read More Limit Youth Access & Appeal Our top priority is to limit the appeal and access to vapes by minors. VTA pioneered tough industry marketing standards in 2018 and, in 2019, successfully advocated to raise the age to buy tobacco products to 21 instead of banning flavors federally. Science Driven Federal Regulation Federal regulation must be balanced. The FDA and Congress must change their current approach and implement regulatory policies that will protect the more than 30 million Americans who still smoke cigarettes, and particularly the 480,000 who die every year from smoking, at the same time as they act to protect youth. Protecting Adult Choice It is well documented that adult consumer preference for flavored e-cigarettes plays a significant role in encouraging smokers to switch to less harmful vaping. Fostering Innovation Technological innovations in vaping devices have finally given smokers myriad effective alternatives to cigarettes that also happen to be at least twice as effective at helping smokers quit as FDA’s approved drug therapies. Supporting Independent Vape Retailers VTA believes that smart public policy ensures that adult consumers can access their products through both brick and mortar and online channels of commerce. Product Denials VTA urges the FDA to remove illegal products from the market.

Studies have shown that the availability of flavors is perhaps the single most important factor for those who successfully quit cigarettes by switching to vaping. There is no serious evidence to suggest that flavors are more toxic or more dangerous than non-flavored products. Banning or severely limiting the most popular flavors will only hurt those who need vapor products – adult smokers trying to lead a healthier lifestyle by quitting cigarettes. Take action In The Media July 12, 2024 Majority of swing-state voters believe vaping is as bad as or worse than smoking “This is the direct result of the FDA's failure to truthfully and adequately inform Americans about the dramatically lower risks of vaping, particularly when compared to cigarettes, even though their leaders have admitted to that fact,” the VTA said. June 21, 2024 FDA approves menthol vapes, drawing criticism from health advocates Tony Abboud, called the FDA’s decision on Friday the result of political pressure. He said the FDA keeps authorizing smokable tobacco products but has refused to recognize science showing e-cigarettes are less harmful. June 13, 2024 The Pathway to Solving the Combustion Problem Is Clear Tony explained that the lack of products available to market legally is forcing retailers to attempt to meet consumer needs by usurping unclear rules and regulations. June 12, 2024 Senate Judiciary Committee Grills FDA, DOJ on Lack of Enforcement Regarding Illegal E-Cigarettes Tony Abboud, Executive Director of the Vapor Technology Association gave testimony during the second panel of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's hearings on Combatting the Youth Vaping Epidemic by Enhancing Enforcement Against Illegal E-Cigarettes in Washington, D.C. May 7, 2024 Colorado Democrats once again kill bill to regulate flavored tobacco Several lawmakers on the committee voting against cited concerns about impacts the legislation might have on local businesses, echoing testimony from several vape shop owners who said it would have hurt sales if a county banned flavored tobacco. May 3, 2024 Vapor Industry Cheers Pot Reclassification “In light of today’s decision, VTA is encouraging other agencies within the Biden Administration, specifically, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, to follow the similarly overwhelming body of evidence on the use of vaping products as effective harm reduction and smoking cessation tools for adult smokers." said Tony Abboud. April 30, 2024 Juul Labs, VTA disagree on Florida’s new vape restrictions “Despite these developments in Florida, VTA continues its call for state and federal officials to restore scientific primacy and integrity to the regulations which govern the safe and reliable sales of e-cigarettes to adult consumers.”, said Tony Abboud. April 1, 2024 Flavored vape products could be pulled from Virginia shelves “If you think about it, you remove all of these products from the market that so many people are using, they’re either going to go back to cigarettes, or if they’re committed to this product — which many, many are — they’re going to go find it on the black market.” said Tony Abboud March 21, 2024 Bills cracking down on vape products wait to be signed by Gov. Youngkin "It’s an absolute mistake for the state of Virginia to jump in and do Biden and the FDA’s work," said Tony Aboud February 6, 2024 VTA Stands up for Lower-Risk Alternatives “VTA is running this ad buy because Americans deserve to know that less harmful nicotine products exist that can help adult smokers trying to quit. VTA supports Americans’ freedom to choose,” said Tony Abboud. January 28, 2024 Activists Protests ‘Misguided’ Zyn Probe “As with e-cigarettes, Sen. Schumer falsely asserted that Zyn products are popular with younger users. Yet, the National Youth Tobacco Survey data demonstrates that only 1.5 percent of youth have even tried nicotine pouches. When will the federal government stop hiding behind an excuse that has been disproven by their own data? August 11, 2023 Are The Recent U.S. Headlines Linking Fentanyl to Nicotine Vapes Part of a New Misinformation Campaign? "evidently anti-vape advocates are trying to create fear around nicotine vapes by making all vapes sound unsafe. Some headlines are even claiming that disposable vapes are being imported from China already laced with the drug, clearly trying to cast an even darker cloud on disposables." said Tony Abboud. October 7, 2022 Vapor Technology Association Questions FDA's Youth Vaping Analysis "Yesterday, the FDA, in coordination with the CDC, released new data from the 2022 National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) on e-cigarette use among U.S. youth. The FDA represents the NYTS data to show that youth vaping 'remains high,' yet a deeper dive into the data show only a small uptick in experimental or infrequent use while regular use remains flat or is slightly down." said Tony Abboud Follow @VaporTechAssoc Vapor Technology Association @vaportechassoc Statement from VTA’s Executive Director, Tony Abboud, on his meeting with President Donald Trump. 12:58 AM Sep 21, 2024 Vapor Technology Association @vaportechassoc Last week was the 4th anniversary of PMTAs!
