Trump administration officials, alarmed by new data showing a huge jump in e-cigarette use by young people, said they are moving to ban most flavored e-cigarettes, a major development that could result in sweeping changes in the sprawling e-cigarette market.
In an Oval Office meeting Wednesday that included First Lady Melania Trump, Health and Human Services Alex Azar and acting Food and Drug Commissioner Norman “Ned” Sharpless, President Trump said, “We can’t allow people to get sick. And we can’t have our kids be so affected.”
He added that the first lady, who on Tuesday tweeted a warning about vaping, feels “very, very strongly” about the issue because of their 13-year-old son Barron.
