要点：
•议员拉亚.克里希纳穆尔提正提议将减少电子烟中的尼古丁含量。

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., is introducing a bill that would cap the amount of nicotine in e-cigarettes as lawmakers seek to stem epidemic use among underaged teens.
议员拉亚.克里希纳穆尔提正提议将减少电子烟中的尼古丁含量。因为议会想阻止电子烟在未成年青少年中流行。
The Ending Nicotine Dependence from Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems Act would limit e-cigarettes to no more than 30 milligrams per milliliter of nicotine, about a third of the 59 milligrams per milliliter contained in standard Juul pods. It would allow the Food and Drug Administration to lower the cap even more to make e-cigarettes minimally addictive or not addictive at all.
终止因电子尼古丁设备导致的尼古丁依赖行动将会限制电子烟最多能使用30mg的尼古丁，大概是原来JUUL标准烟弹的三分之一含量。这会让FDA降低标准，最低限度的降低尼古丁依赖，或戒掉尼古丁。
While other countries around the world regulate the amount of nicotine in e-cigarettes, the U.S. does not currently have any restrictions. Supporters say the punch that market leader Juul packs helps smokers transition from traditional cigarettes. Critics say it merely makes Juul incredibly addictive, especially for teenagers.
目前其他国家都规定了电子烟中尼古丁的含量，美国目前还没有任何限制。支持者认为市场领导者JUUL帮助抽烟者从传统香烟转到了电子烟。而批评者认为JUUL 让人上瘾，尤其是未成年青少年。
More than one quarter of U.S. high school seniors use e-cigarettes, according to this year’s federal National Youth Tobacco Survey. Krishnamoorthi and the House Committee on Oversight and Reform’s Economic and Consumer Policy subcommittee are investigating market leader Juul’s possible role in fueling what regulators have declared an “epidemic” of teen vaping.
Juul did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
根据今年的联邦青少年烟草使用调查，可能有超过4分之一的的中学生在用电子烟。克里希纳穆尔和委员会在监督和改革的经济和消费政策委员会正在调查市场领导者JUUL在青少年流行Vaping中扮演了什么角色。
JUUL 没有立刻做出回应。
