Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 20, 2019
Tweet - "#VapingTargetsKids. It's time we get e-cigs off the market until we find out if they're actually safe or not. Today, Walmart is stepping up and ending e-cig sales - as I urged them to do in Feb. I hope they soon remove another dangerous product from their shelves: cigarettes."

Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 19, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 18, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
Tweet - "#VapingTargetsKids. Just look at the flavors on the market today. Unicorn milk, bubble gum, gummy bear. These aren't aimed at a 50-year-old chain smoker trying to quit cigarettes. They're designed to attract children, and they're working. It's time @US_FDA puts an end to it."
