IN THE NEWS: (WYOMING) Governor Gordon and the Department of Health wisely choose “promoting awareness” of actual products most strongly linked to recent lung injury outbreak instead of knee-jerk laws targeting unrelated retail products that are helping adults quit smoking.

NEW JERSEY: (UPDATE) Bills A5385/S3877 changed a devastating 10¢ per mL tax to a lower 10% point of sale tax that went into effect today! Congrats to all of the hardworking and dedicated advocates in New Jersey!

THE MORE YOU KNOW: Is punishing teens for breaking rules (that exist to protect them because they make bad choices) teaching them to avoid help? The same effect the war on drugs is now causing with misleading self-reporting of lung injuries from “vaping.”
