Trump plan to curb teen vaping exempts some flavors
By MATTHEW PERRONE
AP Health Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S.
health officials will ban
most flavored e-cigarettes
popular with underage
teenagers, but with ma-
jor exceptions that ben-
efit vaping manufacturers,
retailers and adults who
use the nicotine-emitting
devices. The Trump ad-
ministration announced
Thursday that it will pro-
hibit fruit, candy, mint and
dessert flavors from small,
cartridge-based e-ciga-
rettes that are popular with
high school students. But
menthol and tobacco-fla-
vored e-cigarettes will be
allowed to remain on the
market.
The flavor ban will also en-
tirely exempt large, tank-
based vaping devices,
which are primarily sold in
vape shops that cater to
adult smokers.
