According to WEHT, Dick Durbin, the Majority Whip of the United States Senate, has criticized the tobacco policy of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Senator Durbin stated that the FDA has failed to protect children from the harm caused by e-cigarettes, calling it "unacceptable." He called on the Biden administration to promptly implement a rule that prohibits the production and sale of menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.
Deborah Bin expressed, "I went to the Senate today and said, 'We have had enough."
For the sake of our children, the FDA needs to take action... I believe it is now time for these flavored cigarettes to be phased out from the market on all levels.
Devin has repeatedly criticized the FDA for its belated review of pre-market tobacco applications (PMTA) for e-cigarette manufacturers, with a federal court deadline set for September 2021.
