Senators blast health and law enforcement officials over illegal e-cigarettes used by teens

Senators criticized officials for the rise of illegal e-cigarettes in the U.S., a multibillion-dollar business from China. Despite FDA and DOJ efforts, unauthorized products like Elf Bar target teens, causing addiction. The backlog of applications hinders FDA reviews, leaving most products unapproved. A task force to tackle the issue was recently announced, drawing mixed reactions from lawmakers. Industry experts estimate that disposable vapes make up a significant portion of the market. Despite warnings and sanctions, popular brands like Breeze and Elf Bar continue to thrive. Efforts to address the issue include proposed legislation and declining teen vaping rates due to restrictions and the pandemic.
