Grover Norquist: Trump keeping promise to ‘drain the swamp’ by dismissing anti-vaping surgeon general – by Daniel Chaitin |
The dismissal of U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy was another example of President Trump keeping his promise to “drain the swamp,” says anti-tax activist Grover Norquist, a critic of the Obama-appointee who worked to “demonize” vaping.
“As the nation’s top doctor, Murthy had a responsibility to promote public health,” Norquist told the Washington Examiner on Saturday. “On that, he was derelict in his duty, using his position as a platform to demonize vapor products and the millions of adults who use them.”
Murthy was replaced by Rear Adm. Sylvia Trent-Adams, who was deputy surgeon general and will serve as the acting surgeon general and assume leadership of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, according to a statement late Friday from the Health and Human Services Department.
Murthy, who was confirmed and sworn in as the 19th surgeon general in December 2014, released a report in late 2016 warning that electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes or vapes, were a threat to young peoples’ health.
