Juul Labs Inc. co-founder James Monsees faced tough questions Thursday, as a Democratic-led House panel grilled him about the e-cigarettes heavyweight’s role in the youth vaping epidemic.
San Francisco last month became the first major U.S. city to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes in an effort to crack down on youth vaping, but the new ballot measure aims to overturn the prohibition and deliver other changes.And see: Makers of flavored e-cigarettes face ‘a make-or-break year’ in Washington
“How does making it harder to hold retailers accountable for selling your product to children help keep your products out of children’s hands?” asked Cummings, who is chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Cummings promised to give Monsees a set of questions, adding that he’ll work to bring him back to Capitol Hill. The congressman also said that while Juul says it’s committed to combating youth vaping, the company’s actions on the issue are “deeply troubling.” Other Juul critics have made a similar point, saying its lobbying efforts in various U.S. states, for example, run counter to its promise to curb youth vaping.
