舊金山不容電子煙毒害下一代

美國FDA 9月9日發出對94.6萬種加味電子煙的行銷否決命令（MDO），禁止上市或繼續銷售，美國舊金山市檢察官DENNIS J. HERRERA 對此公開發表聲明表示：非常贊同FDA的決定！因為多年來加味電子煙對孩子和公共健康已造成巨大風險。

檢察官 HERRERA聲明：

「我很自豪表示，早在兩(2019)年前，舊金山政府為保護兒童就先挺身而出，禁止加味菸品，並阻止了未經FDA授權的電子煙銷售。FDA這一決定印證我們的政策是多麼明確，美國食品和藥物管理局(FDA)表示，電子煙的危害已超過電子煙商所宣稱的好處。

現在FDA應該對JU*L立即採取行動，因為JU*L就是跨國菸草公司針對兒童行銷的掩護。同時各州政府必須繼續發揮領導作用。」

英文原文如下：

SAN FRANCISCO (March 19, 2019) — City Attorney Dennis Herrera and Supervisor Shamann Walton today announced joint steps to curb the epidemic of youth e-cigarette use, which has erased more than a decade’s worth of progress in reducing youth tobacco consumption.  

“I applaud the FDA’s decision to order thousands of flavored e-cigarette products off the market. We’ve said for years that flavored vaping products pose an overwhelming risk to our children and public health.

I’m proud that more than two years ago San Francisco stood up for kids and blocked the sale of e-cigarettes that have not received FDA authorization, building on the City’s work restricting the sale of flavored tobacco products. This decision by the FDA underscores how right we were. The FDA has now made clear that the harm from e-cigarettes clearly outweighs the supposed benefits.

Now it’s time for the FDA to finish the job and apply the same public health standard to Juul, which is Big Tobacco’s stalking horse and has targeted children. Until the FDA does the right thing, states and local governments must continue to lead.”
