As we work to combat the troubling epidemic of youth e-cigarette use, the enforcement policy we’re issuing today confirms our commitment to dramatically limit children’s access to certain flavored e-cigarette products we know are so appealing to them. https://twitter.com/US_FDA/status/1212814742592638977 …

  “Conclusions: Data from the NYTS do not support claims of a new epidemic of nicotine addiction stemming from use of e-cigarettes, nor concerns that declines in youth tobacco addiction stand to be reversed after years of progress.”https://www.qeios.com/read/article/391 …

  Just plain stupidity. Banning is NOT the solution. Age restriction is NOT the solution... Only thing that will help keep vapes out of the hands of kids is enforcement, wich your agencies have failed miserably at.

  You would think @Surgeon_General @FDACommissioner @SteveFDA would know the definition of “epidemic”. I have attached the definition for your review. Please refrain from using it to describe teen vaping, unless teen vaping is now considered the plague:pic.twitter.com/ljruZ831QN
