    We share the growing concern about youth e-cig use and commend @US_FDA for taking critical, immediate & historic action to address the sale & marketing of these products to kids while it examines additional aggressive steps to stem these troubling trends. http://go.usa.gov/xPryf

        Nothing like creating a fake epidemic to make the appearance the FDA is doing something. Why not try focusing on a REAL one instead like Opioids?! Ecig usage doesn’t hold a candle to a true epidemic.

        How about they look at the obesity rates & address the chemicals in our food packaging before they start attacking healthier alternatives to tobacco. But that would make sense.....

        @SecAzar @FDATobacco @US_FDA FD So your plan of action, against this "epidemic" is to blame manufacturers like #Juul for the short comings of the cashier to check ID, therefore abiding by the current law and thereby blocking an avenue of youth ecig acquisition ?? Seriously?!?!

        Your growing concern, is 3 years too late. 2015 was the height of teen e-cig use. CDC reports in 2017 smoking and vaping at all time lows among teens. Is it going to take two years for you to read that study?

        How is steadily declining use over the last 3 years a troubling trend? Are you troubled by less teens vaping and smoking?

        How bout we focus on how many kids aren’t smoking cigarettes? Oh wait is big tobacco behind the push to stop vaping? I’m sure they would do that! Or would they?? 😉

        The @US_FDA approved opiates have killed 64k ppl last year. Why not start there and find a real solution to this problem? Uncontaminated Kratom is safe and helpful for ppl struggling with addiction. An 8 factor analysis proves it! Yet the FDA wants to ban. #iamkratom #savekratom

        Tobacco stocks have gone up due to threat of flavor ban. Robber baron Gottlieb, forcing people to go Back to analog cigarettes. This senior citizen will go to jail before I give up my flavors. Kill millions of people, not what fda should be doing. Writing Pres Trump to put stop

        @ScottGottliebMD @SecAzar @US_FDA The opioid problem we’re having and gun violence are astronomical compared to this ridiculous “action” your taking. Harm reduction is what vaping is! Period!

        .Saying that youth are more likely to try cigs cuz of ecigs is a joke! I smoked for 30+ yrs & QUIT because of ecigs. Have tried cigs since using ecigs & the taste of cig is so nasty there is no way I cld or wld start smoking again. #Ridiculous
