Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

FDA Announces Restrictions on Vaping Products

HeadlineNov 16, 2018

The Food and Drug Administration has announced it will restrict the sale of most flavored e-cigarettes to businesses where minors are prohibited, in an effort to combat the surge in teen vaping. Many expected the FDA to announce a full ban on flavored e-cigarettes. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb was questioned about his investments in a chain of vaping lounges during his Senate confirmation but has denied this had any bearing on the recent decision and said he is no longer an investor. The FDA is also seeking to ban menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.
