California Attorney General Kamala Harris is one of 29 that signed on to a comment to the FDA regarding the proposed Tobacco Deeming Regulations. In their comment AGs urge the FDA to be more strict in regulating e-cigarettes. It is clear that the AGs have glossed over the devastating effect these regulations (as written) would have on vapor products and the consumers that have benefited from them.
The Attorneys General are urging the FDA to limit “characterizing flavors” that they allege are intended for the sole purpose of “hooking” children and “new users” on nicotine. This is, of course, linked to the tenuous assertion that e-cigarette companies are marketing to children and attempting to attract non-smokers. Their recommendations also include a moratorium on advertising similar to the blackout on tobacco ads.
In short, this group of Attorneys General would like to see the most effective aspects of vaping removed from the products. If it were up to them, your e-cigarette would more closely resemble medicine, cost an outrageous amount of money, and come in only two flavors.
Please contact your Attorney General to ask him to reconsider his position.
