HR2058: Response From NV Rep. Joe Heck
Not a bad response. Our last letter from Mr. Heck was not as helpful in it’s body text.
Where as this letter response to HR2058 is an improvement over our last communication.
We feel strongly, that the Republican party is fond of the Vaping Community.
As opposed to the obvious stanceby the democratic party to dismantle/destroy vaping .
This year our party agenda takes a backseat.
Regardless of our party, the party in favor, seemingly Republicans, will get VapeSling LLC support at the elections in November 2016.
KEEP GOING VapersArmy!!!

May 13, 2016 Dear Mr. Gonzalez,
Thank you for contacting me to share your concerns with new rules issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate the e-cigarette industry. I share your concerns, which is why I cosponsored H.R. 2058, the FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act, to prevent this rule from taking effect.
As you know, the FDA recently issued rules creating new regulatory authority over new tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. I share your concerns with these regulations and how they may affect electronic tobacco production. In recent years, electronic cigarettes have become increasingly popular alternatives to traditional tobacco products, especially for use related to smoking cessation.
I agree that we must strike a balance between improving market safety and maintaining access to a competitive and growing marketplace. That is why I cosponsored H.R. 2058, the FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act. This bill will prevent the FDA’s new rules from impacting Nevadans’ access to e-cigarette products by amending the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to change the grandfather date for new tobacco products thereby exempting many e-cigarettes from this unnecessary regulation. H.R. 2058 will remove regulatory burdens and provide for a certain effective date with respect to deemed tobacco products. H.R. 2058 was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. While I do not serve as a member of this committee, please be assured that I will support H.R. 2058 should it be considered by the full House of Representatives.
Again, I appreciate your thoughts and it is an honor to serve you in Congress. Your suggestions are always welcome, and if ever I may be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. |
Sincerely, DR. JOE HECK Member of Congress |
