Americans are taught many myths about how the federal government operates. One of the most dangerous goes like this: the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) protects public health by regulating the foods and medicines we consume and by helping us “get the accurate, science-based information” we need to “maintain and improve” our health.

There’s no polite way to say this: public health experts continue to lie to adult smokers about the benefits of vaping. Nicotine vapor products have been on the market for over two decades, and the evidence produced over that time has consistently shown that they are far safer than combustible tobacco.
In a bid to check the FDA’s abuse of power, 30 vapor manufacturers have sued the agency . . . one of those cases, originally brought by Triton Distribution, has finally made its way to the US Supreme Court.
It’s time for a bit of good news on the public health front. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced that youth vaping has dropped to the lowest level in a decade. Over the last five years, it has declined by 70 percent. Just 1.55 percent of students in the survey vaped daily.
Adults have a natural right to use nicotine; any attempts to infringe upon this right should be met with resistance from everyone who values their liberty.
