Rep. Mills Co-Leads Legislation to Protect Children from Flavored Disposable E-Cigarettes

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Cory Mills (FL-07) released the following statement regarding co-leading the Disposable ENDS Product Enforcement Act, which will protect children from flavored disposable e-cigarettes:

“I am proud to co-lead this bipartisan legislation with Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) to protect our children from dangerous flavored disposable e-cigarettes. The Disposable ENDS Product Enforcement Act will require the FDA to prioritize enforcement of disposable electronic nicotine delivery.

“Too many of our kids are subjected to these harmful nicotine products that have dangerous lasting effects. As a father, this issue is personal to me. I am proud to lead this charge with Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick on a bipartisan basis, because protecting our kids is not a partisan issue.

“The health and well-being of our children transcend political affiliation,” said Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. “I’m grateful to have the bipartisan support of my colleague from Florida, Congressman Cory Mills, in the effort to remove flavored disposable e-cigarettes from shelves. I’m always willing to partner with lawmakers, on both sides of the aisle, to find solutions that keep our kids safe and healthy.”
