HAPPENING NOW: @PattyMurray helps lead a Senate committee hearing on rising youth e-cigarette use and the epidemic of vaping-related lung injuries.https://www.help.senate.gov/hearings/examining-the-response-to-lung-illnesses-and-rising-youth-electronic-cigarette-use …

For years, e-cigarette brands, like Juul, have appealed to kids through flavors like mint, menthol, & crème brulee, & campaigns with influencer personalities. Today, the data shows 1 in 4 high school students and 1 in 10 middle school students use e-cigarettes.
Families are counting on Congress to act quickly and address the rising crisis of youth tobacco use & the outbreak of vaping related illness. I will keep pushing for action on e-cigarettes & vaping and common sense steps to keep our kids safe.

Respectfully, the MOST effective way to "keep our kids safe" is with adequate education, parenting, and prevention through ENFORCEMENT. We cannot call ourselves a "free country" if we go around banning everything adults depend on because children MAY decide to experiment.

Please remember that adults need these products to quit smoking. Congress must keep these products available to adults while enforcing laws that already exist to keep them out of the hands of children.

I'd consider keeping adults safe so they can parent their children. A 50-year-old mother of five, grandmother of two, diagnosed with COPD and finally quit smoking with custard flavored

I'm 55. Smoked for 33 years. I'm just over 4 years smoke free, thanks to vaping and flavors. My family would like you to keep your hands off my vape and flavors.

Before calling to "act quickly" perhaps you should acquire basic knowledge. NONE of "vaping related illnesses" relate to nicotine vaping. Since vape/ecigs are 2-3 times MORE EFFECTIVE than gums/patches and are most popular, promising tool to help smokers quit, best to move slowly

Hey Patty, it’s me again. Kids have parents to keep them safe from adult products. I’m already an adult so I don’t need you to get involved in whatever legal adult product I choose to use. How about you working on the enforcement of laws regarding vaping already in place.

Does common sense include no flavor ban, because if it doesn’t then you are just going to be pushing adults back to traditional cigarettes which would just cause a much greater health crisis.

And the families of the ex smokers you are trying to push back to cigarettes? Do we not matter? Do you even know that the lung illness is do to a THC back market? A back marke well make bigger. Why is alcohol not being talked about with more teen drinking then vaping?

I don’t need you telling me what helps me combat my 30 year smoking addiction. I’ve switched to vapes with vanilla custard and stopped smoking immediately a year ago.

Common sense steps. Raise age to 21. Ban marketing on social media, move flavored nicotine products to age restricted locations, require age verification in all stores.
