The president credited his wife's concern over e-cigarettes in his decision to seek a ban on flavored vaping products.
President Trump announced Wednesday he would look into banning all non-tobacco-flavored vaping devices, as reports mount of health problems associated with the practice.
In recent weeks, six U.S. deaths have been attributed to a lung disease associated with vaping, and officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration have been investigating hundreds of other cases of the still-mysterious illness. On Tuesday, first lady Melania Trump voiced her displeasure with the increasing use of e-cigarettes among the young.
“But people are dying with vaping, so we’re looking at it very closely, and if nothing else this is a [news] conference that is going to let people know about it because people are going to watch what we’re saying and parents are going to be a lot tougher with respect to their children,” Trump said.
