Following New Vaping Restrictions In The U.K., Australia, Durbin Calls On FDA To Act To Protect Children In The United States

Statement

"Faced with an alarming rise in youth vaping, leaders in the UK, France, and Australia are finally acting to protect children. Meanwhile in America, FDA's failed leadership refuses to regulate and use its public health tools. The consequence is Big Tobacco peddling unauthorized and flavored e-cigarettes to children, addicting millions of new customers, and exposing school kids to a cloud of harmful vapor. It's embarrassing that the U.S. lags far behind other countries while FDA delays and delays enforcement to protect American kids.

We know flavors are Big Tobacco's ploy to hook kids, which is why, in the name of public health, the menthol cigarette and flavored cigar rules must be finalized."
