Crackdown on Illicit Vapes Targeting Teens and Children
Authorities are intensifying efforts to combat the rising trend of illicit vaping products, particularly those appealing to teenagers. Recent reports highlight a new generation of flashy vapes, often disguised as toys, that are becoming increasingly popular among young people. The FDA has expressed concerns over illegal vaping products, particularly those originating from China, and is seeking expanded powers to strengthen enforcement against these products. Various U.S. retail and convenience store associations have called on the Trump administration to expedite product approvals and implement strict measures against the influx of illegal vapes. As communities grapple with the impact of flavored vapes, there is a growing consensus that immediate action is required to protect youth from these hazardous products.
