“Given that e-cigarettes are one of the most effective tools to [quit smoking] – according to science –– the drive to remove as many products from the market as possible makes little public health sense. The vaping inquisition must end.”

Peter Pitts

Former FDA Associate Commissioner

“The cronyism and favoritism that has plagued the FDA’s treatment of vaping products is a result of politics. Congress should stay out of pressure campaigns on the FDA and allow them to follow the science [on vaping].”

Liz Shield

Political Columnist

“If the Biden administration and the FDA are serious about health equity and harm-reduction, … the science is clear: broad approval of flavored vaping products will save Black and LGBTQ+ lives.”

Earl Fowlkes

CEO, Center for Black Equity

“If the CTP actually wants to help and not hinder the Biden Administration’s health equity goals and Cancer Moonshot goals, it needs to follow the latest science and data which proves that e-cigarettes are an effective way not only to help Black Americans reduce the harms caused by cigarettes, but also quit their own smoking habit.”

Ed Towns

Former Congressman (D-NY)

“It baffles me that the FDA chose this fight with American consumers and retailers – potentially enacting policy which would significantly limit a tool that has tremendous benefits towards smoking cessation and harm-reduction, especially for marginalized, minority communities who use these products at disproportionately higher levels.”

Ryan Costello

Former Congressman (R-PA)

“…the FDA should stop its relentless attack on vaping. They could take their own COVID-19-era advice to “follow the science,” demonstrate an imperviousness to politics, and increase access to proven smoking cessation tools.”
