Romney Sounds Alarm on Pervasive and Growing Illegal E-Cigarette Market

U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) urges the FDA Commissioner and Attorney General to combat the illegal distribution and sale of e-cigarettes—to regain control of the e-cigarette marketplace and help curb the rise of youth vaping. “All flavored e-cigarettes—which are the most popular with youth—are currently illegal, yet they remain easily accessible in gas stations, convenience stores, and other retail outlets across America,” and “Effective enforcement strategy should make broad use of all federal enforcement authorities—including injunctions, import restrictions, no-tobacco-sale orders, civil monetary penalties, and product seizures—with a goal of regaining control over the runaway illegal market and protecting consumers.”
