The FDA is intensifying its efforts against illegal vapes, facing scrutiny from Congress. On June 12, a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on youth vaping and illegal e-cigarette enforcement highlighted the issue, with testimonies from affected individuals like Seattle high school student Josie Shapiro. The New York State Attorney General announced a $27.1 million settlement from JUUL, part of a larger $112 million settlement for the state, to combat youth vaping. New York City Mayor and other officials expressed gratitude for the funds, which will be used to address the vaping epidemic among youth in the city. Senators criticized the FDA's delayed response to the vaping crisis, emphasizing the need for stricter enforcement and oversight.
