Don't be fooled-a so-called flavor ban that exempts menthol and vape shops is not a ban at all.

We need to work with the Customs and Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agencies.

This teen vaping epidemic is personal to me because in my State of Colorado, we have the highest percentage of teens vaping than anywhere.

Simply put, our nation faces a youth vaping epidemic.

We also need a full investigation into counterfeit and black-market products that are likely to fill the void of the products that are expected to exit the market.

In fact, one sophomore I talked to thinks that more than 60 percent of his peers are using e-cigarettes.

I look forward to bringing my bill, the Reversing the Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act, to the floor soon.

There has been woefully inadequate research.

I was extremely dismayed when I asked you about the health problems with nicotine, that you all were extremely vague in your answers.

Nicotine is addictive.

People are confused when it comes to the health and safety of e-cigarettes.

I don't think there is anybody on this Committee that thinks marijuana should be legalized for people under 21.

Nicotine is addictive and tobacco products can cause harm.

I was pleased that all of you admitted under oath that nicotine is addictive.

Any product containing nicotine is addictive.

Last September, President Trump promised to take action to take all of the non-tobacco-flavored products from the marketplace in response to the youth vaping epidemic. But he didn't.

Clearly more needs to be done, such as advancing legislation I, Chairman Pallone, and others have introduced to tackle this public health priority.

The responsibility to protect young people from these dangerous products cannot fall solely on parents, teachers, and health officials.

No state has a higher percentage of its teens currently vaping than my state of Colorado.

E-cigarette manufacturers have been negligent, at best, or intentional, at worst, in attracting young people to their products.

That is why Congress decided to act.

Nicotine is addictive and... it can cause harm.

It is long past time that the Food and Drug Administration move forward with reviewing the health and safety risks of the e-cigarette products that are currently on the market.

if the number of youth vaping doesn't go down, despite all of this, with the effort you have taken already, would you stop marketing your e-cigarettes until we figure out how to solve this epidemic?

the priorities that the public wants to see are continuing to be frustrating because there is an inside game.
