President Donald Trump raised his concern about the possible negative consequences of banning flavored e-cigarettes during an at-times hostile meeting on Friday about finding ways to reverse an epidemic of teen vaping.

President Donald Trump said he supports raising the smoking age to 21 in a meeting at the White House.Industry and public health advocates clashed over how to reverse a teen vaping epidemic.

"If you don't give it to them, it's going to come here illegally," Trump said to a chorus of "yes" and "you're right" responses from vaping advocates. "And instead ofor Juul or legitimate companies, good companies making something safe, they're going to be selling stuff on the street corner that's going to be horrible."

The meeting displayed sharp divides on whether e-cigarettes are one of the best or worst developments in public health. Some argue e-cigarettes can help adult smokers. Others say the products are merely hooking a new generation to nicotine after years of successfully convincing kids not to smoke cigarettes.
