Urgent Action Needed Against Illegal Vape Imports From China
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 4 hours ago
China’s blatant disregard for American law and safety is culminating in an alarming rise in illegal vape imports from the communist regime, prompting urgent calls for action from state Attorneys General across the nation.
In 2024, over 90% of vape products imported from China were not accurately reported in U.S. import data, exposing a massive gap that indicates widespread fraudulent activities.
Research shows that Chinese companies exported approximately $3.7 billion worth of vape products into the United States, with official records listing only around $318 million.
The discrepancy suggests that these products are being deliberately mislabeled to bypass regulations, thus allowing dangerous and unapproved substances to flow unchecked into the hands of American youth.
Experts, including Evan Swarztrauber from the Foundation for American Innovation, attribute this crisis to “lax enforcement” which has failed to protect American consumers.
He stated, “The Chinese government is smuggling billions of dollars worth of unsafe, illegal e-cigarettes into the U.S.,” echoing a sentiment permeating calls for a federal crackdown on these illicit imports.
State Attorneys General from 27 states have united in urging the Trump administration to bolster efforts against these illegal trade practices.
They cite the marketing of unapproved, flavored e-cigarettes directly targeting minors, and emphasize that these products not only violate Federal and state laws but also pose significant health risks.
The urgency for action is underscored by the revelations that some Chinese companies openly advertise low inspection rates for their shipments, putting profit over public safety.
In past incidents, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents have seized substantial amounts of these illegal vapes, further spotlighting a systemic issue that demands immediate remediation.
As the Trump administration takes renewed control of federal oversight, the focus will likely shift toward closing loopholes, increasing inspections, and holding violators accountable for their actions.
Americans deserve to know that their safety is a priority, and with leadership willing to stand up against the Chinese Communist Party, a path toward safeguarding the market and protecting our youth is within reach.
It is now time to act decisively and restore integrity to American customs enforcement. The safety and health of our children must always come first.
