In the last week we've seen CTFK's #TakeDownTobacco and PAVe's #ClearTheVapor. Lot's of conflating of smoking and vaping along with vaping nicotine and tons of other things (Pot, vitamins, etc.). Tons of support for flavor bans. As time permits, this will turn into a thread.
Years ago, all flavors in combustible cigarettes were banned, except menthol. Why did that happen? Who helped big tobacco keep menthol cigarettes?

Why is it that Matt Myers of CTFK would sit down to find common ground with #BigTobacco to negotiate tobacco regulations, but he makes no effort to work with #TobaccoHarmReduction?

"force regulators to consider the economic impact of their actions on tobacco companies"
We've seen no economic consideration for small biz #TobaccoHarmReduction companies. They've been exiting the market enmasse, leaving #BigTobacco as major players.

After secret negotiations with #BigTobacco, CTFK is upset when they are excluded. Mom and Pop #TobaccoHarmReduction is constantly left out of the conversation, or not listened to. Most recent example is the inclusion in the PACT ACT.

CTFK and others urged Missouri Gov. to Veto bill to make it illegal to sell e-cigs to minors because it didn't include a vape tax.

Anyone see a pattern of job security / need for additional funding by CTFK?
Set age at 18 (tobacco), fight min age (vape), go for age 21 (tobacco and vape)?
Protect menthol and then go for flavor bans?

FDA bans giving out free vapor products, but CTFK sends out free samples to reporters. Did they verify age first?

Why is it that Matt Meyers would join a Presidential Commission and negotiate with tobacco growers a deal to make sure the products made from their crops aren't forever banned, but he won't sit down with Sm Biz #TobaccoHarmReduction and it's consumers?

"That prohibition of the use of tobacco products by informed adults of legal age is not a goal of the public health advocates or tobacco producers."
