Donald Trump promised to save vaping. Twice. Once during his first term and again before winning the 2024 election.

But in 2025, America’s vapers are feeling burned. Instead of delivering on his promise, Trump’s FDA staged the largest vape seizure in U.S. history while fast-tracking Big Tobacco’s nicotine pouches.

Flavored vapes remain locked out and independent vaping shut out. It’s betrayal, and it stings.

Joining RegWatch to cut through the smoke is Martin Cullip, International Fellow at the Taxpayers Protection Alliance and longtime harm-reduction advocate. Cullip dissects FDA’s contradictions, the politics behind the crackdown, and why vapers in the U.S. feel abandoned.

Globally, the World Health Organization is sharpening its knife. Having failed to kill vaping outright, WHO is now going after all nicotine — elevating “nicotine addiction” above combustible harm, a sly corruption of science that effectively declares vapes and pouches more dangerous than smoking itself.

Is there hope? Find out.
