First Lady Melania Trump was a driving force behind the move to ban the sale of nicotine pods containing flavours such as mint, mango, creme brulee and cucumber.

"A lot of people think vaping is wonderful, is great - it's really not," Trump said in an appearance at the White House on Wednesday, local time.A federally-funded study last year found that one in five senior US high school students reported vaping nicotine in the previous month, twice as many as the previous year.Many of the cases under investigation involved smoking products containing THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

"We will not stand idly by as these products become an on-ramp to combustible cigarettes or nicotine addiction for a generation of youth." The Juul vaporizer is much smaller than earlier such e-cigarettes, making it easier to take a discreet puff.Flavoured e-cigarettes are seen as particularly alluring to young people who have never smoked cigarettes before.
