Core Standards
- Articles must be directly relevant to vaping, e-cigarettes, ENDS, nicotine alternatives, vape retail, product regulation, enforcement, or adjacent nicotine markets.
- Reader-facing articles must avoid unsupported claims, hidden sourcing, exaggerated certainty, and promotional language.
- Original source links must be preserved so readers can verify the underlying report or announcement.
- Images must be relevant, clean, and free of competitor branding or misleading visual context.
Article Structure
Dawsen articles are written to explain the event, the policy or market context, the likely business implications, and the open questions that industry readers should continue tracking.
Corrections and Updates
When a material fact changes, Dawsen may update the article, add context, or publish a follow-up. Readers should treat fast-moving regulatory stories as developing until official implementation details are confirmed.
Independence
Dawsen may cover companies, regulators, industry groups, and public-health organizations. Coverage decisions are based on relevance and impact, not on whether a story is favorable to any specific party.
