Industry representatives openly sparred with public health advocates during Friday's session, part of which was opened to the press.
Much of the debate Friday centered around the use of flavors in vaping products. Juul, one of the companies in the room, has already stopped producing most flavored products.
"How about the children? We've got almost 6 million kids addicted to nicotine and they're getting addicted to nicotine because of flavors," Romney said. He said minors think vaping is"just a candy type product. It's the flavor that’s drawing the kids in, it’s a health emergency. ... It's killing our kids.
But failing to take concrete action on the issue could hurt him with suburban women, a key demographic with whom he is already struggling, who are concerned about the health risks to teenagers and young adults.
