House Republicans, including Rep. Rich Hudson and Rep. Kat Cammack, are pressuring the FDA to expedite the approval process for smoke-free tobacco products. They argue that the FDA's inaction limits consumer choice and allows nicotine-containing products from China to enter the U.S. The lawmakers emphasize the importance of non-combustible forms of nicotine to help adult smokers quit and prevent youth access. Several representatives, such as Rep. Pat Fallon and Rep. Chuck Edwards, are joining the effort to advocate for more options for Americans trying to quit smoking.
When you're trying to quit smoking, you deserve a variety of choices in products that help. My colleagues & I are urging @POTUS & @US_FDA to expand options to consumers looking to quit smoking. Thank you for your leadership on this issue, @RepRichHudson! https://t.co/TC5NdELS7o
The White House should take steps to help protect and promote public health in America, not deprive Americans of safer options to quit smoking. I joined @RepRichHudson in urging @POTUS to expedite the review process for alternative smoke-free tobacco products using sound… https://t.co/Hs3QP0wnnS
During last week's Environment markup, I highlighted my resolution of disapproval to nullify the @EPA's final rule for Fine Particulate Matter, or PM 2.5 standards. We must use the power of Congress to reverse Biden’s harmful rule and safeguard the American economy. https://t.co/oiU9JQ01qR
Millions of Americans want to quit smoking. The Biden FDA shouldn't ban or slow-walk smoke-free alternatives that allow them to do so. I'm proud to join @RepRichHudson's letter urging the FDA to let Americans choose how they quit. https://t.co/B0FfUsEem5
House Republicans send letter to FDA urging it to pursue in earnest the pathway for non-combustible forms of nicotine that could help currently addicted adult smokers quit. Acting on these apps would also give FDA better tools to police sales & marketing to restrict youth access https://t.co/d9wpkuRue6
Rep. Cammack joined @RepRichHudson on this effort. The FDA's inaction on this front has continued to deprive Americans of greater choice while simultaneously proliferating the arrival of nicotine-containing products in the U.S. from China. https://t.co/2u3rBIpino

Biden’s FDA is sitting on MILLIONS of applications for smoke-free products, preventing you from having more choices in alternatives. I’m calling on the Biden admin to put politics aside & prioritize approving these new products. MORE in @dcexaminer ⬇️ https://t.co/eqnfpOLPgK
