This is how the debate is playing out in the papers starting with the Washington Post. Democrats hang up on Bernie Sanders in South Carolina debate. Ruckus york times, democratic debate yields no clear challenger to sanders. The wall street journal frames it this way, rivals focus on sanders at South Carolinas debate and the Washington Times this morning, not so friendly fire at sanders.

Became a bigger issue in 2019. Andrew i think it was a combination of factors that really drove this to the front of the policy debate this year. One was just a year over year increases in the number of teens who are reporting ecigarette use. Thats been increasing for several years, but 2019, we saw another significant increase over last year. Another was interrelated, but sort of distinct issue that we saw, starting over the summer with vaping related illnesses that were beginning to emerge, that weve now seen thousands injured and dozens dead from this. Thcs related to illicit vaping, which is distinct from the problem of ecigarette use. But the urgency of those illnesses i think really prompted policymakers to want to respond more broadly to the vaping issues were dealing with in the u. S.
