Draft 'MAHA' Plan to Improve Children's Health Leaked

The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission report was due to President Trump on Aug. 12, 2025, according to the executive order that established the commission, but the White House told reporters it would not be released to the public immediately because of scheduling issues. A draft of the report was leaked to the press and published on Aug. 14, 2025. The report, which focuses on the health of American children, outlines a federal plan to combat childhood chronic disease. The leaked report highlights the following steps the Administration will take to prevent youth from accessing illegal vape, THC and 7-OH products:

  • Alcohol, Controlled Substances, Vaping and THC Impact : Surgeon General will launch an education and awareness initiative on the impact of alcohol, controlled substances, vaping and THC on children’s health.
  • Illegal Chinese Vapes : FDA and ATF will increase enforcement on illegal Chinese manufactured vaping products and educate parents and businesses that the Administration will not allow unapproved vaping products targeting children to continue flooding our country.
  • 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) : FDA will educate the public regarding the dangers of synthetic opioids products such as 7-OH (which is distinct from natural kratom) and coordinate enforcement against dangerous unlawful products being marketed to American children.
