Often, much of the research on e-cigarettes, nicotine, and youth use appears flawed or even outrageous. According to mainstream media, vaping could be responsible for everything from shrinking testicles and plummeting sperm counts to tooth decay and gum disease.

However, some research could be downright dangerous, making claims that nicotine vapes cause cancer, heart disease, and stroke, and that they are riskier than combustible tobacco.

Joining us today to discuss the ongoing issue of questionable science on safer nicotine products is Dr. Arielle Selya, a behavioral scientist at PinneyAssociates, a U.S.-based firm that provides consulting services on tobacco harm reduction to Juul Labs.

Does the regulator responsible for overseeing tobacco products in the U.S. believe in the practice of tobacco harm reduction?

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.

After enduring ten years of frozen fees and grappling with mountains of bureaucratic red tape, Ontario healthcare providers delivering essential rehabilitative care to auto accident victims are finally breathing a sigh of relief. In the 2024 provincial budget, the Doug Ford Progressive Conservative government implemented long-called-for changes to the auto insurance system, aimed at improving patient care by supporting the province’s 20,000 physiotherapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists.

Joining us today to discuss the changes are registered physiotherapist Anthony Grande, owner of Focus Physiotherapy, and Dr. Scott Wilson, a Doctor of Chiropractic and the founder and chairman of Physiomed.
