An op-ed published in the Arizona Capitol Times last week calls out the inaction of the Food and Drug Administration’s “Multi-Agency Task Force to Curb the Distribution and Sale of Illegal E-Cigarettes.” The author, Marco Lopez, spends several paragraphs pattering about the lack of enforcement actions taken against “illicit” Chinese vapes “tied to the Chinese Communist Party.”

Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of FDA v. Wages and White Lion Investments, L.L.C. - a landmark case pitting one of the largest vapor product distributors in the United States against the Food and Drug Administration.
