Documents reviewed by The Times reveal that the chemical formula that makes Juul so palatable and addictive dates back more than four decades — to Reynolds’ tobacco laboratories.
Federal law bans sales of e-cigarettes to those under 18, but some states have pushed that to 21 — the same as with traditional cigarettes. Trump seemed sympathetic to that argument as he compared a flavor ban to prohibition and suggested that such a move could lead to the creation of a black market for flavored e-cigarettes.Greg Conley, president of the American Vaping Assn., told Trump that former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, “who is no friend to your presidency,” is funding a $160-million campaign to try to ban these flavors.
COULD ✋🤣
Gee, I wonder who he talked to most recently. Could it be the tobacco industry 🤔
No he’s afraid of losing votes.
I actually agree 🧐realDonaldTrump
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn..💪💪🤣🤣
This is Soo unintelligible, mouth to mouth everybody, letsdoit
Can someone report on if the e-cigarettes companies finally pay up
So...drugs then?
He's right. Now let's apply this logic to weed.
And lose him votes, that’s the REAL reason.
He must own stock in the companies.
He’s right
Just like banning abortion will lead to back alley abortions. See how that works, Donald?
Sounds like something a lobbyist would say.
Trump says, tobacco constituent$ are Republican.
He's correct
Welcome to the gun control debate LA times.
Whatever his angle, I think we can assume that public health and safety has nothing to do with it.
This is the same argument endorses per abortion.
cmarinucci He is an idiot. He's also pandering to ECigg makers.
Black market mango? Really? How much did they donate to him?
So which one of his cronies is putting e-cig money in TraitorTrump’s pocket?
Sounds like vapping lobby talking points. How much did they donate?
... and he's exactly right!
What a fricking thoughtful, forward-thinking, always looking out for everyone's well-being rather than his own ... manchild pres, realDonaldTrump, we have!!
It’s almost as if he understands what would happen if you ban abortions
Cheque from the tobacco industry cleared then .. 😂😂
Yeah, so legalize the weed!
That’s literally how all prohibition works. 😹
Same argument could be used for heroin.
And angry voters.
Prohibition on steroids.
IvankaTrump has a new product line? And, way more lucrative than clothing.
JUST LIKE DRUGS!!! NO BANNING!!
Wow what a revaluation anytime you ban something it will be a black market what do you think capitalism only works in the legal markets
Sounds like an argument for legalizing drugs, huh?
It would increase them. Reject the nanny state.
As if they don’t already exist? Wake up, it’s capitalism
You are such a fool to believe the lobby against banning flavoured Vap products and once again walking away! Like you did with gun reform... ImpeachAndRemoveTrumpNOW
The e-cigarettes industry must have directly or indirectly donated a ton of $$$$$$$$$$ to his coffers.
That's exactly what the vaping lobby told him.
But he’s fine with banning abortion. 🙄
Someone got a lot Contributions from the e-cigarette market
So much for protecting his own son & supporting his wife. Who’d thunk he’d fold?
Childish reasoning from a fool
Might be the first correct statement he has made. Of course that means Marijuana must immediately be legalized at the Federal level.
umm, yes but its the same for drugs
