FDA’s top tobacco official is removed from post in latest blow to health agency’s leadership

[placeholder]

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration’s chief tobacco regulator has been removed from his post as sweeping cuts hit the agency and staffers across the federal health workforce Tuesday...

King, who joined the agency in 2022, has been vigorously criticized by vaping lobbyists for ordering thousands of companies to remove their fruit and candy-flavored e-cigarettes from the market. During his time at FDA, teen vaping has fallen to a 10-year low.

Under King, the FDA rejected applications for millions of flavored e-cigarettes, citing insufficient data that the products would help adult smokers while not becoming popular with underage kids. Those rejections have resulted in multiple lawsuits against FDA from vape makers, including one that was argued before the Supreme Court in December.

The Vapor Technology Association, an industry group, has been running ads urging Trump to follow through on a campaign pledge he made to “save the flavored vaping industry.”

Trump abandons sweeping vape ban with new slimmed-down rules

The Trump administration is dialing back a sweeping ban on flavored vaping products the president promised three months ago, following strenuous lobbying from his political allies and the vaping industry.

Federal rules expected to be released soon — more than three months after President Donald Trump promised a crackdown on vaping amid a pair of related public health crises — include new carveouts that will allow some products to remain on the market. The Wall Street Journal first reported the news.

You're the party who wrote this: "Banning things is like what Hitler would do." In a way, you're right. Retorts are useless. With that comment you managed to completely discredit yourself. No need for help from me. But thanks for the bonus comment about gay porn in high school. You're a treasure...of sorts.

Brian King is a liberal socialist Democrat appointed by old sleep Joe. President Trump has the right to replace him with a Patriotic Republican representative. Biden has been put out to pasture and his appointments also should be put out to pasture. MAGA

So Brian Kiing believes that the government should own the means of production? Because that's what Socialism is all about. Can you share with us a position paper from him on the issue? I'm sure you wouldn't make such a claim without having serious evidence to back it up.

I began by commenting on trump's stance on tobacco. You posted an article with no opinion. Then your made a senseless post about banning things which I mocked. To get back on the topic, I don't know who the guy that guy fired was and oppose a ban on flavored vapes. Otherwise where does it stop? Flavored alcohol appeals to  minors. So what it is illegal for them to buy it,

 

 

I am not in favior of banning anything. i am in favor of enforcing laws for minors that vape or stores that sell to minors. We don't need more laws. Make fentanyl legal for all I care. However enforce laws about public consumption, being high out of your brain in public, crapping in the streets, etc. 

 

There is no need to prevent adults who enjoy flavored vapes from using them because some idiot can't control their kids.

You started with this: Well Trump did raise the age toi smoke from 18 to 21. He isbn't a big fan of alcohol or tobacco so I wouldn't read too much into it. 

And now you're claiming just the opposite. That it's okay not to enforce the bans. It's the parents' responsibility.

Just like most Trumpists, when Trump reverses himself, so do you. Such an amazing coincidence.

In never said if i supported the age being raised or not now did I? If you can join the military at 18 you can smoke or drink is my opinion. But if you were trying to say Trump is weak on tobacco he did raise the age which is more than pretty much any other preside3nt has done.

Once again, here are your words in response to the firing of King, who was zealously pursuing a ban on flavored vapes:

"Well Trump did raise the age toi smoke from 18 to 21. He isbn't a big fan of alcohol or tobacco so I wouldn't read too much into it. "

Yes, because i don't necessarily agree with Trump on that> I am not contradicting myself i was merely pointing out that Trump has been an advocate of anti-tobacco positions in the past. Please try toi slowly process the fact that I am at odds with Trump on that.

 

Everything with you tends to be these retarded little gotcha games.

Who cares. Anyone who smokes in today's world deserves what they get.

Your comment in question had nothing to do with your personal belief about tobacco restrictions. You tried to minimize the significance of his dismissal of King by citing Trump's personal distaste for alcohol and tobacco when in fact the evidence showed that he had already previously reneged on a promise to impose tough restrictions on flavored vape.
