Trump's nominee for FDA commissioner declined at his confirmation hearing today to promise to move forward with an e-cigarette flavor ban that the administration has put on hold
President Donald Trump's nominee for FDA commissioner declined at his confirmation hearing Wednesday to promise to move forward with an e-cigarette flavor ban that the administration has put on hold.
Trump in September announced his intention to ban flavored vapes including mint and menthol, then reportedly held up FDA action on the ban out of concerns it would cost vaping industry jobs and votes in his 2020 reelection campaign. Senate HELP ranking member Patty Murray and Sen. Mitt Romney pressed Hahn on the issue, asking whether he would cave to political pressure and White House opposition to the ban."For me vaping is the canary in the coalmine, or better, the child in the vaping room," said Romney, who has introduced a bill to ban flavors. He added that how Hahn deals with the vaping issue "is a pretty good test case" for non-vaping issues that could cause political divides.
