    IMPERVIOUS TO EVIDENCE | Tobacco Control Blocks Vaping Debate in Australia | RegWatch Rewind

    SUICIDAL POLICY | Michelle Minton & America’s War on Safer Nicotine (Part 2) | RegWatch

    America’s tobacco policy has turned self-destructive. Safer nicotine products are demonized and restricted while combustible cigarettes remain widely available. Watch Part 1 (only on GFN.TV). In Part 2 of this RegWatch interview, Michelle Minton of the Reason Foundation moves past diagnosis and into consequences. Minton explains how the FDA’s PMTA regime didn’t merely regulate vaping—it wiped out independent innovation, locked the market in favor of Big Tobacco, and pushed most consumers into a vast illicit supply chain. She breaks down the absurdity of fast-tracking nicotine pouches while leaving vapes in regulatory purgatory, and why a standards-based system was never seriously considered. From fear-driven decision-making to the refusal to acknowledge historic declines in youth smoking, the outcome is no longer about reducing harm, it’s about expanding control.

    PROGRESS & PERIL | A.G. Miller Scores Smoking, Vaping & Public Health | RegWatch

    Tom Miller has shaped American tobacco policy for more than 40 years. As the longest-serving attorney general in U.S. history and a principal architect of the Master Settlement Agreement, Miller has spent decades fighting Big Tobacco and advancing public health. Now, in Part 2 of a two-part RegWatch and GFN.TV special, he brings his unmatched authority to the most contentious issues in U.S. nicotine regulation. In this episode, Miller offers a candid, unflinching evaluation of the FDA and the Center for Tobacco Products, scoring their performance on vaping regulation, PMTAs, flavors, enforcement, and the unintended rise of an illicit market. He describes how a broken regulatory framework has left adult consumers underserved, legal businesses at a disadvantage, and policymakers blind to the real-world consequences of their decisions. Miller also confronts the deep divide inside public health, explaining how tobacco control fractured into prohibitionists and harm reduction advocates. Is misinformation strengthening the prohibitionist cause? Find out. Only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.
