"JUUL likes to boast about its warning ads that are supposed to deter children from using their product. Where do we see those ads?

The Washington Post is one place.

How many children wake up and read the Post in the morning?"

"Consider this: JUUL is widely popular with kids and accounts for 70% of e-cigarette sales in the U.S. Make no mistake: JUUL -- now partnered with tobacco giant Altria -- is driving this epidemic. #juulhearing"

"FACT: There are no clinical trials proving that JUUL devices help adults quit smoking cigarettes. None. Despite all the marketing claims and all the paid testimonials, there is no credible medical evidence of JUUL's most fundamental claim. None. #juulhearing"

"JUUL's current marketing campaign urges smokers to "make the switch" from cigarettes. This is, unmistakably, a smoking cessation claim from JUUL -- a company that has never conducted a clinical trial that proves this claim. #juulhearing"

"Like Big Tobacco before them, the vaping industry & JUUL are battling any congressional regulation of their products tooth and nail. That's why we need the FDA to get off the sidelines and put the health of our children before the profits of an exploitative industry. #juulhearing"

"Tobacco industry insiders have acknowledged that they are worried about opposition from "the Dick Durbins of the world."

They can count on it."

"Today I called on @FDACommissioner to get off the sidelines & finally act on the public health epidemic of youth e-cigarette use. The FDA's paramount duty is to protect the consumer--especially our children--not tobacco & e-cigarette manufacturers. It's time for FDA to do its job."
