Supreme Court must end the FDA’s vaping power-grab
The Supreme Court heard arguments in Wages and White Lion (Triton) v. FDA, questioning FDA's authority over banning certain e-cigarette products, crucial for smoking cessation. The Taxpayers Protection Alliance emphasized the need to prevent agency overreach and support alternatives that could save lives. The unclear legislation delegated critical decisions to the FDA, hindering market expansion and potential health benefits. The lack of congressional guidance led to a stifled e-cigarette market, neglecting safer options like open-system products favored by adult smokers. The FDA's narrow focus on youth appeal rather than overall public health raises accountability concerns, urging the Supreme Court to intervene for the welfare of many Americans aiming to quit smoking.
