Schumer, standing at Little Falls High School in Herkimer County, launched a new two-pronged push to curb the rampant use of flavored nicotine vaporizers and protect public health across New York State. First, Schumer called on his colleagues in Congress to pass the <span>bipartisan </span>Stopping Appealing Flavors in E-Cigarettes for Kids (SAFE Kids) Act, which would enact a ban on flavored e-cigarettes, preventing them from reaching the hands of children and teenagers. Schumer has long fought to crack down on e-cigarette flavors that specifically target children, successfully pushing former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Scott Gottlieb to take action on the dastardly devices, and is a cosponsor of the legislation. Second, Schumer called on the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), along with the FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Office of the Surgeon General (OSG), to launch a coordinated national strategy and awareness campaign on youth e-cigarette use. Schumer argued that together, the two measures would begin the difficult work of ending the youth e-cigarette use epidemic in the Mohawk Valley and across New York State.</p>"}}
