Welcome to the new and improved Regulatory Action Center (RAC) Review! RAC proudly keeps you up to date on what we’re up to and what we’re keeping our eyes on here in the swamp. We offer resources for you to get involved in the rulemaking process to hold unelected bureaucrats accountable and occasionally offer praise in the event they have a good impulse. We will also highlight the incredible work our activists have done to advance the principles of smaller government, lower taxes, free markets, personal liberty, and the rule of law.

With 35 million Americans still smoking cigarettes and roughly 1.3 billion worldwide, there is a massive opportunity to make changes that could benefit the health of so many, especially considering that 70 percent demonstrated a desire to quit..

Their signs were simple and to-the-point: “We Vape. We Vote.” And vote they will.

This week, the House Oversight and Reform Committee’s Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy will hold hearings entitled, “Examining JUUL’s Role in the Youth Nicotine Epidemic.” In the hearing, the Subcommittee is expected to discuss JUUL’s marketing practices and other strategies that may have contributed to the rise in youth vaping over the past few years.
