Durbin/Waxman intensify lobbying for FDA deeming reg (that would ban all e-cigs) with staff report falsely accusing e-cig companies of target marketing to youth and falsely claiming e-cigs are addicting youth.

The recommendations on Page 3 of the report (urging FDA to impose the deeming regulation on e-cigs, which would ban all e-cigs) were/are the sole reason for this witch hunt and false accusations. Also note their statement "Responses from manufacturers indicate that overall the industry is supportive of some federal oversight."
Not surprisingly, the irresponsible news media further sensationalized the false accusations by Durbin/Waxman in their headlines and stories with little or no fact checking.

And yet, the evidence consistently indicates that 99% of e-cigs have been consumed by adult smokers and adult vapers who quit smoking by switching, the vast majority of youth e-cig users are cigarette smokers, and there’s no evidence e-cigs have created daily dependence in any nonsmoker.
This is why all vapers who want to keep e-cigs legal should contact your members of Congress, and urge them to oppose the deeming regulation (because it would ban all e-cigs).
Action Alert: Urge Congress to prevent FDA from banning e-cigarettes again and to stop FDA from giving the e-cig industry to Big tobacco
