Bipartisan Senators Lead Amicus Brief to Supreme Court Supporting FDA's E-Cigarette Regulations Against Big Tobacco
Sep 4, 2024, 02:12 PM
Senator Dick Durbin, along with Senators Jeff Merkley and Frank Pallone, has led a bipartisan amicus brief to the Supreme Court in the case of FDA v. Wages and White Lion. The brief supports the FDA's authority to regulate addictive and harmful e-cigarettes, particularly those targeted at children. The American Medical Association and other leading organizations have also urged the Supreme Court to uphold the FDA's marketing denial orders for flavored e-cigarettes, citing their harmful effects and contribution to high youth nicotine addiction rates. The brief aims to reverse the Fifth Circuit's ruling, emphasizing the importance of protecting public health and preventing a new generation from becoming addicted to tobacco products. Senator Pallone stated he will not stand by idly while Big Tobacco tries to get a new generation addicted to their products.
