The campaign urges Louisiana, Iowa, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania to enforce laws against black market vapes and illegal kratom
The Protecting America Initiative, a conservative nonprofit organization focused on safeguarding the nation from Communist China's growing influence, launched a six-figure ad campaign today urging leaders in Louisiana, Iowa, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania to enforce new laws cracking down on dangerous, illegal products like vapes and kratom. Many of these products in question are made in China.
The advertising comes as new laws across the country aim to keep Americans safe and advance enforcement efforts against the rogue smoke shops and corner stores that continue to sell illicit vapes, kratom, and other dangerous products.
The ads will run on digital platforms in all four states starting November 12. The efforts call on state leaders to "enforce the new law now."
The campaign features two creatives:
"Black Market Vapes. Illegal Kratom. You shouldn't be able to buy these at a store. Enforce the new law now."
"Corner Market or Black Market? Rogue smoke shops are selling illegal vapes, kratom, and other dangerous products. Enforce the new law now.”
BACKGROUND
PAI published a blog post in October highlighting the states that are “cracking down on illicit Chinese vapes.”
In September, PAI highlighted China’s unregulated vaping products circumventing U.S. laws.
A Fabrizio Ward survey reveals that 80% of voters support the Trump Administration's recent crackdown on illegal Chinese-made vapes and the smoke shops that sell them.
