House Oversight: – Restoring Trust in FDA: Rooting Out Illicit Products
April 2025
Briefing
I provided input to a US Congressional Oversight inquiry into the burgeoning illicit trade in vapes in the United States. Many people are urging the Federal government to address this challenge with more enforcement. I believe the problem is caused by the enormous costs, long delays, and highly limiting barriers to entry created by the FDA's pre-market tobacco authorisation process. Until that is fixed, enforcement will fail and it would be dangerous if it succeeded.
