Romney pushes for a ban on flavored vape products, reports Utah media outlets.
U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Ut., has made the news once more asking his colleagues to advance a national ban on flavored electronic cigarette products.
Romney’s comments echo the words of support for such a policy by President Joe Biden’s nominee for Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy — Obama’s Surgeon General from 2014 through 2017.
He went on to reference a 2019 study produced by the Center for Tobacco Products at the Food and Drug Administration. This study features data from the FDA’s annual tobacco use surveys for tracking such use among middle and high school aged students.
“The prevalence of e-cigarette use among U.S. youth increased from 2011 to 2018,” notes the study’s abstract, via the JAMA journal.
