Exclusive: Chinese-made nicotine and e-cigarette products illegally flood the U.S. market under the leadership of the former president Joe BidenNicotine awareness activist and former Republican Senator Richard Burr said it endangers adults and children and poses an “emergency threat” to our sovereignty, public health and law enforcement capabilities.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Burr, who was chairman of the Nicotine Intelligent Regulatory Alliance alliance, said that even though Biden Adminissmation suppressed “reputable” companies like Juul, it also did not take any action to control the process of non-brand competitors, most of which were conducted by Chinese companies through Chinese companies through Chinese companies through Chinese companies.

“The Biden administration has no policy to enforce the laws at the border. That’s the real origin of growth,” he said, adding, “not only did they not object to them, but they did not try anything, in terms of law enforcement.”
Brian King, director of the FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), said Brian King specifically blamed overseeing an agency that was so cruel to inaction, Burr said: “Most of the products on the market today are not only illegal in the market, they never even tried to pass the FDA’s application process.”

Burr said about 85% of the steam and e-cigarette products sold in the U.S. are illegal or unauthorized because Biden FDA failed to enforce the law.
Now, Burr urges the Trump administration to proactively resolve the issue of Chinese nicotine released by Americans under Biden.
Burr sends a letter to Trump’s FDA Commissioner Martin Makary and the Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy Jr. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi urged them to take urgent action to “restore order” by reforming the government’s review process for nicotine and e-cigarette products, and then carry out full implementation of entities responsible for developing illegal markets.
In his letter, Burr described the United States as “in a crisis caused by the entry of illegal nicotine products into the U.S. market, most of which were provided by Chinese companies that intend to violate U.S. law.”

“During the Biden administration, illegal Chinese propaganda products, without any regulatory oversight or consumer protection, began to flood our market,” Burr wrote. “In the case of overseas production, these illegal steam products are intentionally avoiding compliance with the law without meeting FDA safety standards or common tobacco product manufacturing practices, and are intentionally selling underage users with teen appealing features, such as Gummy Bear Bear Flavors flavor and gaming device screening.”
Burr further stated that manufacturers of illegal vaping products often use fraudulent shipping statements and misclassified tariff codes to evade our customs and trade laws.
President Trump rightly warns that counterfeit drugs are usually People’s Republic of China“Threat the safety and safety of Americans,” he wrote. “The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the opportunity to regulate nicotine products and effectively implement the Tobacco Control Act (TCA) by advancing a modern and common sense approach to rehabilitating the market.”
To this end, Burr urged the FDA to “advance a comprehensive, effective regulatory framework,” which he said consists of streamlining the FDA’s approval process for less harmonious smoke-free nicotine products, providing clear regulations to the industry and enforcing the law against companies selling illicit products, providing adult smokers with accurate information on the benefits of switching from cigarettes to FDA-authorized, smoke-free products and using regulation and oversight drive minors for use.

Burr said while talking to Fox News on the numbers, both Kennedy and the President Donald Trump “As already accepted a healthier America, our children should be actively involved in a healthier diet, we should make sure that anything that is not conducive to their ability to grow and grow up health should be significantly limited.”

“This is the core of it,” he said.
In response, a spokesperson speaking on behalf of the King told Fox News Numbers: “The claim that there is no attempt to execute is not consistent with the facts.”
They list 30 different enforcement actions the agency has served under King in 2023 and 2024, from sending warning letters to potential violators to reject marketing requests from non-compliant manufacturers.
Over the past few years, the FDA’s Tobacco Product Center has taken many first compliance and enforcement actions, including the establishment of a joint inter-agency inter-interworking group and a number of targeted enforcement actions to target illegally imported e-cigarettes with our customs and border protection, which are other products in the entire supply chain. They said: “Oppose other unauthorized disposable e-cigarette brands used by young people.”
“The FDA and other agencies should build on these efforts and take comprehensive enforcement actions against illegal e-cigarettes, especially those who are popular among youth,” the spokesperson said.
