GRAVE SILENCE | Pressuring FDA to Ignore ‘Relative Risk’ | RegWatch

For nearly a decade, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration policy regarding the ‘relative risk’ of nicotine vaping products skewed towards moratorium when communicating with the public. Indeed, the FDA’s reluctance to ‘set the record straight’ on e-cigarettes appears to have suborned the proliferation of anti-vaping misinformation, poisoning public perception of vaping.

Now, at the moment when the FDA is finally preparing to tell the public the truth about nicotine vaping products, the American Lung Association is demanding the FDA to strike all mentions of ‘relative risk’ from its new 5-Year Strategic Plan and to abandon “the failed and flawed notions that adult smokers should switch to e-cigarettes.”

Joining us today to talk through FDA’s track record on vaping misinformation and the ALA’s shocking demand is Guy Bentley the director of consumer freedom at Reason Foundation and author at Reason Magazine.
