Washington • Sen. Mitt Romney on Tuesday called for the Federal Drug Administration to consider recalling e-cigarettes as continued reports surface of lung diseases related to their use.
The FDA, Romney tweeted, “should consider recalling e-cigarettes as it continues to investigate recent deaths and illnesses related to vaping.
“I'm increasingly concerned that a generation of young people has been deceived into thinking e-cigarettes are safe,” the Utah Republican continued.
Romney’s suggestion comes as the Utah Department of Health said 35 Utahns are suffering from severe lung diseases associated with vaping while another 12 potential cases are being investigated.
