During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the pressing issue of underage vaping and the enforcement of existing laws by the FDA. A participant highlighted the need for renewed efforts to address this growing concern, referencing a letter to the editor published in June in the New Mexican that criticized the FDA's lack of action despite receiving congressional funding for enforcement.

The speaker emphasized the importance of revisiting and potentially expanding current resolutions related to underage vaping, noting that previous resolutions may have been too narrowly focused and relevant only to specific moments in time. They proposed a dual approach to tackle the issue, drawing parallels to a successful housing crisis resolution that mobilized community leadership to raise awareness.

The participant suggested that collaboration with local city and county programs could enhance efforts to pressure the FDA and engage state representatives in Washington, D.C. This call to action reflects a growing recognition of the need for a comprehensive strategy to combat underage vaping and ensure that existing laws are effectively enforced.
