U.S. lawmakers introduce anti-vaping measures. More here:
LOS ANGELES - California’s governor on Monday ordered a public awareness campaign on health risks posed by a “youth epidemic” of vaping, but said he lacked authority to unilaterally ban flavored e-cigarettes that he said were deliberately marketed to children.
The clamor for action has been spurred by a recent nationwide spate of severe lung illnesses that U.S. health officials have linked to vaping of both nicotine and cannabis products. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said on Monday she was leading a move to ban the sale of flavored vaping and tobacco products in the third-largest U.S. city.
His executive order also directs agencies in the most populous U.S. state to devise plans to remove illegal vaping products from sale and recommend health warnings that retailers and advertisers of vaping products would be required to post. Newsom cited data showing vaping devices were the most commonly used tobacco products in California and that more than 80% of high school students who consume tobacco do so by vaping.
