    Secretary Alex Azar Retweeted Scott Gottlieb, M.D.

    No child should be using any tobacco or nicotine-containing product. The work by @US_FDA to crack down on the sale and marketing of e-cigarettes to minors is part of broad @HHSGov efforts to protect America’s youth from the dangers of tobacco use.https://twitter.com/SGottliebFDA/status/1039881610714378241 …

    Secretary Alex Azar added,

    Scott Gottlieb, M.D.Verified account @SGottliebFDA
    Today #FDA took a series of critical actions to address the epidemic of youth e-cigarette use. We also intend to take new, significant steps to stem this challenge, including re-examining our compliance policy regarding flavored e-cigarettes: https://go.usa.gov/xPrmP  pic.twitter.com/2dP1ZgtqTq

        So what about the actual cigarettes that still kill 480k a year? No ban? No nothing? The amount of gangsterism here would be something the Soprano family would be jealous of. Your motives are so transparent. I called this shit 4 years ago. Yesterday it went from conspiracy 2 fact

        You are right, no teen or child should use these products, and the responsibility for that starts, and ends at home with their parents. Is shared by the people making final sales, and that is where the list ends. It is not the industries responsibility to parent children.

        I'm calling BS on this. This is a manufactured epidemic. In the UK data shows that regular kid use is very small, and even lower for those who have not used lit tobacco. This is a made up scare to push through prohibitionist agendas.

        Gottlieb says there's an epidemic. Lol how can it be an epidemic when smoking and vaping amongst teens is at an all time low. Don't punish an entire indusrty over a few bad apples who are selling these products to minors. Go after them not us.

        I’m so grateful that a Constitutionalists are being put on the court, because this will never hold up. It’s so far beyond the authority given to the federal government in The Constitution it’s ridiculous.

        Resign. Ripping children from their parents’ arms and then caging them is a crime against humanity. You are not fit to serve.

        Is the “crack-down” effort against smoking towards - tobacco in general - nicotine - smokeless snus or vaping? Not to be conflated here on vast differences in relative harm! #Vaping as #snus used to get people (incl kids) off the Killer, smokingpic.twitter.com/I8NNfRRVDt
