How Trump can stop e-cigarette prohibition and reform public health

Federal tobacco policy is failing the American public and destroying businesses across the country. Only sweeping reforms can protect public health and save an entire industry from prohibition, according to a new report from the R Street Institute.

Prohibitive regulation of e-cigarettes and reduced-risk tobacco products combined with a public health establishment committed to an ideology of nicotine abstinence is creating an environment where Americans will find it harder to quit smoking and save themselves from an early death, the report argues.
