“Will be meeting with representatives of the Vaping industry, together with medical professionals and individual state representatives, to come up with an acceptable solution to the Vaping and E-cigarette dilemma. Children’s health & safety, together with jobs, will be a focus!” he wrote on Twitter. On Thursday, the CDC reported there have been 2,051 confirmed and probable U.S. lung injury cases and 39 deaths associated with use of e-cigarettes, or vaping products. Nearly 85 percent of lung injury patients in the nationwide outbreak have reported using products containing THC, the component of marijuana that gets people high.
Hasn't he got minions to meet lobbyists? Must be better things for the President to be doing.
Uh......GUN VIOLENCE, you unstable not genius, you.
Children’s lives balanced with jobs. Got it.
But nothing about gun control.
A more accurate headline would've been 'linked to street bought vaping pods' but go ahead and keep clinging to the narrative of all vaping products are killing you.
Gonna threaten them with really really big money? :)
May as well ban dollar bills to stop people snorting coke
He needs to meet with someone who can perform a lobotomy.
Ivanka going for some flavor trademarks? 🙄
They'll meet in the Hookah Bar at Trump's Mar-a-Lago, I bet. 😅
Inb4 those imaginary independent 'reps' are just the big tobacco execs peddling those juul, blu, and vuse pieces of shit.
He’ll probably just ask them about the best way to make a smoke screen. He’s seriously going to need one soon.
But about that infrastructure....
Don't forget to bring your bribe money in small unmarked bills in a black bag. No tricks or the deal is off. Sincerely, The greatest businessman in the world, Your favorite President, Trump.
lol that spitfire voorhees tat is pretty raw
Because that's what the press wants....sideshows instead of results.
At least your article mentioned black market THC carts as the products causing injury and death. Your title is misleading though because the meeting with 'vaping industry officials' whatever those are is not about THC carts. It's about the Bloomberg-led flavor ban.
Topic: How can we keep killing people without killing profits!!
Like he did with the nra
If it’s bad for people trump will be for it.
Meanwhile you can still buy flavored tobacco products. It’s all about extorting money. 💰💰💰
Wonder what they’ll bribe him with? Hotel stays
Trump is more concerned about vaping deaths than gun deaths
Andy_uk_96 why’s he holding it like that? 😅
This is the equivalent of 'this illegally produced moonshine is making people sick, I'm gonna talk to Coors to get to the bottom of this' .
Tell kids to stop trying to buy fake THC products. The vitamin E oil in those (most likely a single unscrupulous manufacturer) is the culprit.
And how many deaths by firearm so far this year?
Discuss? So weird...
now do cigarettes.
Excellent idea.
To discuss how much they should bribe him to override state bans.
