“The House will vote next week on a bill aimed at reducing youth vaping rates by banning the sale of flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. The bill, sponsored by House Energy and Commerce Chairman Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) and Rep. Donna Shalala (D-Fla.), would also ban online sales of e-cigarettes and tobacco products. The Pallone-Shalala bill would ban flavors in all of these products. It includes a narrow pathway for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approved flavored products if they are found to reduce smoking rates. Opponents of e-cigarette flavor bans argue those products are useful for adults to transition away from traditional cigarettes. After May, companies that want to sell e-cigarettes in the U.S. will have to receive approval from the FDA and prove their products benefit public health.”
