WINSTON-SALEM JOURNAL: Jeff Stier, senior fellow with Consumer Choice Center, said he does not dispute that the ordinance is designed to help protect youths from tobacco products.
“Yet, the ordinance would change the legal status of the sale of flavored e-cigarettes to adults exclusively,” Stier said,
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.”
