Cornyn, Van Duyne Introduce Bill to Prevent Import of Illicit Chinese Vapes, Tobacco Products

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) introduced the Ensuring the Necessary Destruction of (END) Illicit Chinese Tobacco Act - S. 3148 and H.R. 5986 - on Nov. 7, 2025. The END Act would give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to destroy adulterated, misbranded or counterfeit imported tobacco products, such as vapes and e-cigarettes. The bi-partisan legislation is co-sponsored by Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI).

“We have seen too many illegal vapes slipping through the enforcement cracks, posing health and safety risks to Americans,” said Rep. Van Duyne. “These dangerous and counterfeit products have been flooding into our country from places like China. The END Act will give federal agencies the tools that they need to destroy these counterfeit or misbranded goods before they reach our shelves.” Read more here.
