Tweet - "#VapingTargetsKids. In the last 2 years, the number of children using e-cigarettes has more than doubled. Today, more than 1 in 4 high-schoolers are vaping. And 10% of middle-schoolers are. @US_FDA must not drag their feet any longer. Ban e-cig flavors now to protect our kids."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 19, 2019
