On the recordFebruary 28, 2020
Research shows that you are more likely to start smoking cigarettes if you vape, and using nicotine at an early age means you are more likely to be addicted for life. So we need to address and pass H.R. 2339, the Protecting American Lungs and Reversing the Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act of 2019, because it will help us reach the objective of reducing the youth vaping epidemic. This bill also contains my bill, the NO VAPE Act, which will crack down on retailers who sell these products to underaged youth. It is my job as a public health expert and it is our job as Members of Congress to ensure measures are put in place to prevent more Americans from getting hooked on nicotine at an early age. So I urge a vote on H.R. 2339, Protecting American Lungs and Reversing the Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act of 2019, for the sake of our children and our public's health.
