There is no question that this user-generated social media content is linked to the appeal of vaping to underage users.

JUUL has acknowledged that it was not able to prevent young people from engaging with its product on social media.

I continue to be alarmed by the rapid increase in the number of young people who are using your product.

People who have integrity and are responsible don't sell products which, after listening to Ms. DeGette's questions, you admit make people sick, and probably kill people.

It is the misleading marketing, in my opinion, that has caused this epidemic and made young people feel that there was absolutely no problem with vaping.

FERC has done itself no favors by taking actions that have stoked the controversy surrounding these matters.

We as a Congress have worked over the past several years to combat the opioid epidemic and support the millions of Americans with a substance use disorder. That work includes bipartisan efforts to pass legislation like the 21st Century…

Today, the Subcommittee is meeting to continue our strong history of working to ensure the quality and safety of our country's food and drugs.

The internet holds incredible promise for the future, but as the technology continues to advance, we must make sure that people are not left behind.

Wildfires are becoming more frequent, more dangerous, and more destructive due to the impacts of climate change.

This bill represents true reform. That is why it is supported by key industry organizations, by jockeys, by many, many trainers and others, and animal welfare organizations.
