Reynolds American Donates to Super PAC Backed by Trump, Vaping Policy Rifts Trump Administration
Summary
Reynolds American donated $5 million to a super PAC backed by Trump, a week before the Trump administration rolled back regulations on certain vaping products, including flavored vapes for children. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rolled back various restrictions on electronic cigarette products May 5th, less than a week after the super PAC received a major donation from Reynolds, intensifying the rift between the MAGA movement and the Trump administration. The timing of the donation and the policy rollback has raised questions about the influence of corporate interests on federal health policy.
