As 33 states investigate roughly 450 lung illnesses that may be associated with vaping, the billionaire former New York City mayor and founder of Bloomberg, Michael Bloomberg, is committing $160 million to combat vaping. Bloomberg has long been an advocate for anti-smoking campaigns and has spent millions on getting folks to quit smoking. Now he’s turning his attention to vaping, the new scourge of teens everywhere.
Main Idea: Michael Bloomberg is giving $160 million to push for stricter rules on vaping, with a focus on keeping flavored e-cigarettes and youth marketing off the market.
Key Points:
Vaping companies may face tighter rules and sales limits, which could hurt jobs and small retailers that sell e-cigarettes.
Bloomberg’s funding could help the CDC and FDA cut teen vaping and lower future health costs for families and taxpayers.
