Webinar: If There’s Vapor, There’s Fire: Regulation and Use of E-Cigarettes

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates tobacco products, including e-cigarettes or vapes. In recent years, there have been debates about whether e-cigarettes should be promoted as safer than combustible tobacco and what role the FDA or other policymakers should take in limiting e-cigarette use among youth. In this seminar, we will consider opportunities and barriers to policies that reduce tobacco use and mitigate disparities among socioeconomic groups. This event is free and open to the public.
