A bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced legislation to give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) more authority to crack down on the flood of illicit vaping products from China.

The legislation, led by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas), is called the Ensuring the Necessary Destruction of (END) Illicit Chinese Tobacco Act.
