Advocating for Tobacco Harm Reduction
Via FDA:
“Vapes, vaporizers, vape pens, hookah pens, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes or e-cigs), and e-pipes are some of the many terms used to describe electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS).”
The rule @ OMB rn= ‘ENDS’ devices
Clearly FDA thinks they regulate vapes https://twitter.com/_jacquie_lee/status/1194617481794592769
Azar says we need to distinguish between vaping and e-cigarettes.
Emphasizes that govt. can regulate e-cigarette
This isn’t the first time this admin has seperated vaping&e-cigs and emphasized authority to only regulate e-cigs. Conway said it last week too.
Earlier tonight, after eight months of hearings, Albany County, NY wisely *rejected* a flavor ban.
Anything is possible with the right advocacy. This was a team effort and everyone involved deserves a big thank you. #VapeBan #WeVapeWeVote
Local E, banning flavored tobacco, does NOT pass. 18 voted yes while 17 voted no. It needs 20 for passage.
