U.S. Kentucky Attorney General Pledges Crackdown on Illegal Chinese E-Cigarettes Marketed to Minors

Key points:

1.The state of Kentucky in the United States will strengthen efforts to crack down on the use of Chinese e-cigarettes by minors.

2.The State Prosecutor, Russell Coleman, expressed a high level of concern about the issue.

3.The Chinese e-cigarette industry has not followed the approval process of the FDA, posing a hidden risk to the market.

4.The design of the product's appearance and taste has led to children becoming the primary target consumers.

According to Just the News, Republican Attorney General Russell Coleman stated that Kentucky will crack down heavily on e-cigarette products from China that target minors.

Coleman noted that as a father of young children and the state attorney general, he is concerned about the illegal e-cigarette products entering stores in the state. He emphasized that law enforcement will be carried out to enforce the relevant laws passed by the state legislature to crack down on these "dangerous" banned items.

Last month, Coleman had requested to collaborate with the Trump administration to explore ways to protect children from the harm of illegal Chinese e-cigarettes. In a press release, he mentioned that manufacturers of these e-cigarettes often fail to submit review applications to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before starting to sell in the US.

Colman stated that these products are widely available throughout the United States, however, the public is unaware of their supply chain and chemical components. He also pointed out that the marketing of these Chinese e-cigarettes is not targeted towards adults, but towards children. Their designs resemble "SpongeBob SquarePants" and they use flavors that attract children, making them unappealing to the adult consumer base.

In the end, Coleman reiterated that he will enforce the laws passed by the legislative body to strictly regulate these products. The state government will take decisive actions to prevent children from being harmed by unknown ingredients.
