President Trump's FDA pick Stephen Hahn said that he agreed that the vaping crisis requires 'aggressive action,' but offered few other details.
President Donald Trump's pick to head the Food and Drug Administration was pelted with questions on youth vaping during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Wednesday.
Hahn, a chief medical executive at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas, said only that he agreed that the vaping crisis requires"aggressive action," and declined to provide further details. He added that he looks forward to the president's decision on the matter, saying that he hasn't had a conversation with the president about the possible ban.
Hahn responded that as oncologist, he's seen the ravages of tobacco-related cancers, and said that he's aware of the alarming Tobacco Youth Survey data. Romney said the e-cigarettes issue was a good litmus test for whether Hahn could put science and public health ahead of politics and the political contributions that affect his bosses more broadly
