President Donald Trump is being lobbied by activists on both sides of the aisle to crack down on the sale of illicit, Chinese -manufactured electronic cigarettes to American children and teenagers.

Javier Palomarez , president of the Hispanic Business Caucus , sent a letter last month to the president and members of the Cabinet .

The letter proposes securing the northern and southern borders to prevent cartels from smuggling black market Chinese products into the United States .

Palomarez said he was disappointed with former President Joe Biden ’s approach to curbing tobacco consumption.

Biden pursued two smoking-related regulations during his term in office: a ban on menthol and other flavored cigarettes and an effort to mandate “low-nicotine” levels for all combustible cigarettes.

The matter is also gaining some traction on Capitol Hill .
