"Congress will soon raise the federal tobacco purchasing age from 18 to 21. This is good news, but does nothing to address the youth vaping epidemic that has already hooked 5M kids on e-cigarettes."

"I have long argued that raising the tobacco age should be coupled with provisions to ban kid-friendly e-cig flavors like gummy bear, cotton candy, & sugar cookie. Sadly, the GOP-controlled Senate has consistently sided with Big Tobacco and fought efforts to address youth vaping."
