Sen. Chuck Schumer
NEW YORK – U.S. Senator Charles Schumer is calling on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to use a law on the books to immediately ban kid-friendly e-cigarette flavors.
According to Schumer, an e-cigarette warning letter to the FDA was signed last month by a coalition that includes the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Cancer Society, American Heart Association and the American Lung Association, which cites their concerns with the kid-friendly flavors.
Schumer said the FDA should use the Tobacco Control Act, which was passed in 2009, to reign in e-cigarettes and control the marketing to adolescents.
