NEW: Chair @CongressmanRaja sent a letter to @US_FDA Acting Commissioner @DrWoodcockFDA applauding FDA’s decision to bar the sale of certain flavored e-cigarette products and expressing concern over its decision to distinguish menthol from the other kid-friendly flavors.
FDA’s decision to distinguish menthol from other kid-friendly flavors is a stark contrast to Dr. Woodcock’s congressional testimony.
On June 23, 2021, @DrWoodcockFDA testified before the Subcommittee that menthol in e-cigarettes is:
🔘 “like having a higher concentration of nicotine in your delivery system,”
🔘 “heightens the addictiveness of nicotine in e-cigarettes,”
🔘 “makes it harder to stop vaping.”
🔘 “like having a higher concentration of nicotine in your delivery system,”
🔘 “heightens the addictiveness of nicotine in e-cigarettes,”
🔘 “makes it harder to stop vaping.”
Today’s letter follows an extensive investigation into flavored e-cigarettes by the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy.
