Stier challenged the FDA to “speak out about how a local ban on the sale of flavored e-cigarettes to adults could undermine the FDA’s comprehensive regulatory plan to fight smoking, given the role flavors in e-cigarettes play in helping adult smokers quit.”

“The FDA should alert the public to how the ordinance would undermine federal anti-smoking efforts.”
