Seeking recognition that vaping and nicotine use are key points of initiation for youth (not harm reduction) and the commitment to review the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, specifically to include the integration of nicotine reduction targets (such as the federal 5% by 2035 goal) into all relevant national policies and mandates.
