(CNN) In a letter to the US Food and Drug Administration, lawmakers are urging the agency to temporarily clear the market of all e-cigarettes for the duration of the coronavirus crisis. In the letter, the subcommittee asks for Hahn to confirm by August 18 -- in one week -- whether or not the FDA will temporarily clear the market of all e-cigarettes. An area that now warrants further study, he said, is why there might be this association between vaping and Covid-19. The researchers found 32% of the total study population were medically vulnerable for severe Covid-19. The research showed that in the whole study population, young adult men were at a higher risk for severe Covid-19.
