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.

读完这篇文章，我真是感到无比愤怒和失望。美国政府的所作所为简直是对我们这些vapors的背叛。特朗普当初承诺要拯救vaping，可现在呢？FDA竟然搞了历史上最大的vape查抄，还加速了Big Tobacco的nicotine pouches上市。而那些有味道的vapes还被禁止，独立vaping品牌也被打压。这简直是在玩弄我们！WHO也是一样，他们明明失败了，却还想一棒子打死所有含有nicotine的产品，把nicotine成瘾说得比燃烧危害还严重，这根本就是科学上的欺诈！我们vapors难道就这么没尊严吗？我们也要为自己发声！speed stars unlock
