OPINION: China is coming for our kids with these dangerous products
for adults , some Chinese manufacturers are targeting America’s youth for sales. They are primarily doing so by marketing disposable vapes in flavors like bubble gum and cotton candy on TikTok and other social media platforms.
In recognition of this problem, the Food and Drug Administration sought to curb the spread of China’s addictive flavored vapes; however, its 2020 policy response only covered reusable, cartridge-based e-cigarettes. The agency allowed disposable flavored vapes to remain on the marketplace, not believing they were a problem at the time. But markets are dynamic and now their use has exploded in popularity among minors.
From 2020 to 2021, the disposable e-cigarette market grew from one-quarter of the total e-cigarette market to nearly 37.5% of it. This alarming statistic indicates that the FDA’s 2020 policy response hasn’t stopped China’s flavored vapes from reaching our teens’ hands; it has just changed their vaping delivery method.
Given the extent that China funnels fentanyl into America, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that reports indicate officials have found some of these vapes laced with fentanyl.
