Trump teases plan to address underage vaping, including pulling 'certain flavors'

PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump said Tuesday night that his administration would “very shortly” announce a plan to address underage vaping and indicated it would involve pulling “certain flavors” off the market for a period of time.

“We’re going to protect our families, we’re going to protect our children, and we’re going to protect the industry," Trump said."The flavors will come off – they’re going to be checked. People have died from this. They’ve died from vaping."Trump's comments came just hours after the Wall Street Journal reported that the Food and Drug Administration was set to ban the sale of most flavored e-cigarettes, such as those sold by Juul and NJOY.

"This is a step in the right direction, but it basically just freezes the status quo," Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former FDA commissioner, told USA TODAY on Tuesday night."It forces all e-cig makers to conform to what Juul has already done voluntarily. It would still allow the sale of flavored e-liquids in convenience stores, where kids can get easier access to them.

Story continuesOn Tuesday night, Trump seemed to suggest the ban would be temporary:"Hopefully everything will be back on the market very, very shortly," he said.

His message was another incoherent mess. Someone needs to tell him vaping is just as addictive as cigarettes.
