“The risk of banning the preferred vape flavors of adults is that some may go back to smoking cigarettes or that some of America’s 24 million or so smokers who may yet switch to a flavored vape or pouch never do so.” buff.ly/mMK5ozZ

Youth use of vapes of all flavors has plunged in recent years, making bans wholly unnecessary, writes Guy Bentley. buff.ly/mMK5ozZ

Sending tens of billions more in taxpayers’ money through the same bureaucracy that is already decades behind is unlikely to produce better results for travelers and the air traffic control system. buff.ly/oPlX4As

“It seems counterproductive to impose any complicating restrictions on people trying to access opioid addiction treatment.” - @HannaDersh buff.ly/Ej3HaDR

A long-term public-private partnership could modernize Washington Dulles, attract private capital, and open the airport to greater airline competition. buff.ly/ebhJL6x

“Setting aside President Trump’s builder fantasies, what is a wiser path forward for Dulles Airport? A long-term P3 lease of the entire airport, as proposed in January by Ferrovial and Macquarie, would be a better option.” — Robert Poole buff.ly/ebhJL6x
