Chinese-nicotine products let the border cross under Biden poses “urgent threat” for us: expert

EXCLUSIVE: Nicotine and electronic cigarette products manufactured in China illegally flooded US markets under former president Joe Biden, endangering adults and children and posing an “urgent threat to American sovereignty, public health and law capacities”, according to the Nicotine awareness activist and the former GOP, Richard Burr senator.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Burr, who is president of the nicotine intelligent regulation for more intelligent regulations, said that even if the Biden administration had repressed “deemed” companies like Juul, he did not take any measure to control the flow of competing products outside the brand, most of which were manufactured and exported to the United States by Chinese companies.

“There was no policy in the Biden administration to enforce the law on the border. And this is where growth really comes,” he said, adding: “Not only did they not denounce the against them, but they made no attempt, no attempt, the application.”

According to Burr, the director of Biden of the Center for Tobacco Products of the FDA (CTP), Brian King, is special for supervised an agency so paralyzed by the inaction that Burr said: “Most of the products that are on the market today not only are illegal, they have never tried to go through an application process to the FDA.”

However, a King spokesperson vehemently denied Burr’s claims, telling Fox News Digital that “the assertion that there was no attempted application is not in accordance with the facts”.

Burr said that currently around 85% of electronic steam and cigarette products sold in the United States are illegal or unauthorized due to non-compliance with the FDA law to enforce the law.

Now Burr urges the Trump administration to be proactive in solving the Chinese nicotine problem unleashed on the Americans under Biden.

Burr sent a letter to the Trump FDA Commissioner Martin Makary, as well as to the Secretary of Health and Social Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the American prosecutor Pam Bondi, urging them to take urgent measures to “restore order” on the market by reforming the government’s examination process for the growth of nicotine and electronic products.

In his letter, Burr describes the United States as “in the midst of a crisis created by the free movement of illegal nicotine products on the American market, the majority of which are provided by Chinese companies who knowingly breach American laws”.

“During the Biden administration, illegal Chinese vaping products, without any regulatory surveillance or consumer protection, began to flood our market,” wrote Burr. “Produced abroad without respecting FDA safety standards or common tobacco products manufacturing, these illicit steam products deliberately avoid compliance with the law, and many are intentionally marketed with minor users with attractive functionalities, for example, gumm bearers and game screens.”

Burr has also said that manufacturers of illicit vaping products often use fraudulent delivery declarations and poorly classified tariff codes to escape the laws on customs and American exchanges.

“President Trump rightly warned that counterfeit pharmaceuticals, often linked to the People’s Republic of China, threaten the security and security of the Americans,” he wrote. “The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the possibility of fighting a similar crisis on the nicotine market by making a modern approach and common sense progress to regulate nicotine products and by effectively applying the tobacco control law (TCA) to restore order on the market.”

To this end, Burr has urged the FDA to “advance a complete and effective regulatory framework”, which, according to him, consists in rationalizing the FDA approval process for smoking smoke -free companies, providing smokers for adults information on the advantages of the fight against the fight against FDA cigarettes Using minors.

In response, a spokesman who speaks on behalf of King told Fox News Digital that “the assertion that there was no attempted application is not in accordance with the facts”.
