Resources To Prevent Youth Vaping Act
This bill establishes a funding mechanism to support youth vaping prevention efforts by increasing tobacco industry user fees and expanding how those fees are collected and allocated. It requires tobacco manufacturers and importers to submit detailed sales data to the FDA, which will use this information to calculate fees based on market share and distribute funds for public education campaigns targeting teens and minors. The legislation also mandates annual reporting to Congress on how user fees are spent between different types of tobacco products and requires the FDA to explain how it ensures sufficient funding for youth vaping prevention education.
