In this episode of The Heartland Institute’s Voices of Vapers series, Jim Lakely, director of communications, and Lindsey Stroud, government relations coordinator spoke with David (Dave) Goerlitz about his efforts to combat the Food and Drug Administration’s deeming regulations which will significantly impact the options available to persons who want to quit smoking.
Dave Goerlitz is an actor, producer, model, public speaker, and vaping advocate. In the 1980s, Dave was popularly known as “The Winston Man,” as an employee of R.J. Reynold’s advertising campaign.

Since then, Dave has been an advocate against the targeting of children in the tobacco industry’s advertising. In 2007, Dave was introduced to e-cigarettes, and after understanding the potential health benefits the products have to offer smokers, became an advocate of the promotion of tobacco harm reduction.
