E467 - Upside Down | Tennessee Vape Vendors Push Back on Big tobacco | RegWatch

No state organization has had more success fending off anti-vaping legislation than the Tennessee Smoke Free Association. Led for years by founder and recently retired president Dimitris Agrafiotis, the group continues to push back on anti-vaping legislation, which, more often than not, is backed by big tobacco. Joining us today are vape shop owners Danny Gillis and Chris Lautz, president and vice president of the venerable Tennessee Smoke Free Association. Hear how the group stopped a recent RJ Reynolds-pushed bill that would have destroyed vaping in the Volunteer State. Also, we take a deep dive into the shop-level impact of the FDA’s PMTA process and marketing denial orders. Plus, hear their reactions to an interview Dr. Brian King the new Director of FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, gave to the American Vapor Manufacturers association last month.
