Vaping Lobbyist's Ties to CCP Raise Pressure on Trump to Save 'Illicit' Vape Industry

A top vaping lobbyist with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is lobbying the Trump administration to save the US vape industry from regulatory crackdowns, despite the president's promise to ban 'illicit' flavored e-cigs due to their potential health risks. The group worked closely with the Trump campaign last year and is now intensifying pressure on the White House. Their efforts aim to convince the administration to reconsider its stance on flavored vapes, which are popular among US youth. This lobbying push raises questions about the influence of CCP-linked interests in shaping US vaping policies.
