U.S. health officials will ban most flavored e-cigarettes popular with underage teenagers, but with major exceptions that benefit vaping manufacturers, retailers and adults who use the nicotine-emitting devices.

Trump administration to ban some e-cigarette cartridges

The flavor ban will also entirely exempt large, tank-based vaping devices, which are primarily sold in vape shops that cater to adult smokers. The Food and Drug Administration has struggled for years to find the appropriate approach to regulating vaping. nder current law, all e-cigarettes are supposed to undergo an FDA review beginning in May. Only those that can demonstrate a benefit for .S. public“We have to protect our families,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday, ahead of the announcement. “At the same time, it's a big industry. We want to protect the industry.

Still, the new policy represents the federal government’s biggest step yet to combat a surge in teen vaping that officials fear is hooking a generation of young people on nicotine. In the latest government survey, more than 1 in 4 high school students reported using e-cigarettes in the previous month, despite federal law banning sales to those under 18. Late last month Trump signed a law raising the minimum age to purchase all tobacco and vaping products from 18 to 21 nationwide.

But the decision to permit menthol and exempt tank-based vapes was immediately condemned by anti-tobacco advocates who have lobbied the Trump administration to follow through on its initial pledge to ban all flavors except tobacco.

Banning all the good flavors is NOT gonna benefit anyone financially 🤦‍♀️ I know more adults than kids that vape and lemme tell you, they LIKE their fruity flavors.

They cant handle tobacco products, but by all means, let's follow their lead on matters of government and world politics.
