Durbin: Vaping Targets Kids
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
Subcommittee Chairman Krishnamoorthi Issues Statement on Administration's Plan to Ban Flavored E-Cigarettes Following Information Unveiled by Oversight Subcommittee Investigation
Rep. Subramanian Krishnamoorthi, ...
Sept. 11, 2019
Tweet - "#VapingTargetsKids, and these flavors--mint, menthol, gummy bear, Unicorn Milk, lung candy--have been essential to the industry luring children into this new addiction. I will closely review @US_FDA's guidance. Finally, @US_FDA is doing its job."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
Tweet - "Speaking on the Senate floor about the Trump Administration's decision to take flavored e-cigarettes off the market."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
Tweet - "Educating our nation's students is a responsibility we cannot afford to take lightly. Wonderful to sit down today with @janicejackson, CEO of @ChiPubSchools, to talk education policy, the Chicago HEAL initiative, and ending youth vaping."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
Tweet - "Today, 1 out of 5 high-schoolers nationwide are vaping -- an increase of 80% over the last year. They were told--by JUUL--that it's a safe alternative to tobacco. It's not. We need @US_FDA to step up today, or this deadly epidemic is only going to grow. #VapingTargetsKids"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, ...
Sept. 10, 2019
Tweet - "Thanks to @IllinoisPCA leaders for speaking with me today about funding community health centers in IL. These centers treat 1.4M IL residents each year, meaning 1 in 9 Illinoisans depend on them for care. It's critically important that they receive adequate funding without delay."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 10, 2019
Tweet - ".@TobaccoFreeKids has it right. We must ban flavored e-cigarettes to protect our children. Vaping companies like JUUL are targeting kids for a reason - we can't let them hook an entire generation of young people on nicotine."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 10, 2019
Tweet - "Honored to receive the National Distinguished Advocacy Award from @AmericanCancer today & proud to serve as their ally in the Senate every day. I will always stand by them in the fight against cancer, Big Tobacco, Big Vape, & in support of Americans with pre-existing conditions."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 10, 2019
Tweet - "The @AmerMedicalAssn is warning people to stop vaping, & calling on @US_FDA to get rid of e-cig flavors & unapproved devices. 6 people have now died from vaping. It's time we begin to treat this situation for what it is -- a full-blown public health crisis."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 10, 2019
Tweet - "On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay it's important to remember that you're not alone and there's never a wrong time to ask for help. If you - or anyone you know - is struggling, please call 1-800-273-TALK for help."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 10, 2019
Tweet - "Thanks to the Trump Administration's efforts to undermine the Affordable Care Act and eliminate protections for people with pre-existing conditions, the nation's uninsured rate grew significantly for the first time this decade."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 10, 2019
Tweet - "For all those in Illinois -- @GarrettPopcorn is celebrating its 70th anniversary by offering 70-cent bags of popcorn all week. Make sure to stop in, get yourself a treat, and celebrate 70 years of the best popcorn in the United States!"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 9, 2019
Tweet - ".@US_FDA finally attacks JUUL's phony claim that vaping is a safe alternative to cigarettes. Now it's time to clear the shelves of kid-marketed flavor pods and unapproved vaping devices. FDA, END IT TODAY. VAPING TARGETS KIDS."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 9, 2019
Tweet - "Illinois school alert: with 20% of our high schoolers vaping, it's time for every school in the state to call an assembly and tell the deadly truth about e-cigarettes. VAPING TARGETS KIDS. EXPEL VAPING FROM OUR SCHOOLS."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 9, 2019
Tweet - "Advertisers across America need to refuse JUUL ads claiming vaping is a safe alternative to cigarettes. The @US_FDA finally woke up. Now it's time for advertisers to refuse to spread Big Vape's lies. VAPING TARGETS KIDS. JUUL LIES AND KIDS PAY THE PRICE."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Letter to the Hon. Adam Smith, Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, the Hon. James M. Inhoffe, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Hon.

Rep. Lauren Underwood, ...
Sept. 9, 2019
Tweet - "Hats off to @GovWhitmer of Michigan for banning vaping in her state. Governors need to do all they can to protect our kids from deadly e-cigarettes. VAPING VICTIMIZES KIDS. JUUL LIES AND OUR KIDS' LUNGS PAY THE PRICE."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 9, 2019
Tweet - "For years, I have expressed my concerns about the teen vaping epidemic to @US_FDA, but they have refused to act in any type of meaningful way. If @FDACommissioner doesn't want to protect the public health, then it's time for new leadership in the FDA."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 9, 2019
Tweet - "This morning at @LurieChildrens I once again urged @US_FDA to immediately ban all e-cigarette flavors and devices that have not been approved by the agency. Young, healthy people are getting sick and dying and the Acting FDA Commissioner has the power to do something about it."
