A congressional panel has asked four e-cigarette companies to halt all television, radio, print and digital advertising “in the interest of safeguarding the health and well-being of one of our nation’s most precious resources — our youth.”
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, chairman of the House Oversight and Reform committee’s panel on consumer products, made the requests Wednesday in letters to e-cigarette makers Fontem Ventures, Japan Tobacco International, Reynolds American and NJOY. Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., runs the committee that oversees consumer product investigations.
