Several recent deaths and hundreds of serious lung illnesses have been linked to vaping
USA TODAYPresident Trump's proposed ban of electronic cigarettes with anything but a tobacco flavor could kill a big part of the vape store business, but it may have a limited impact on curbing use by young people who can already flavor their own cartridges with readily available and attractive dessert tastes, industry experts say.
The proposed flavored vape ban, he said, is an"eminently reasonable step to take" given that the logical alternative would have been banning all e-cigarettes due to the rising use by teens. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said this week that new data show about a quarter of high school teens vaped in the last 30 days up from 20% from the prior year.
Kyle Doerfler, owner of Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers in Phoenix, says he has been discussing the proposed ban with FDA officials in recent weeks and plans to meet with them in the next month or so. He says the focus is on what's sold in stores and the agency understands the products can be separated into the flavorings and nicotine liquid, which is widely available but seldom used alone.
One of Vaporfi's stores, which were started by two women who quit smoking and wanted to make stores appeal to other more middle-aged adult smokers, especially women.The FDA regulates nicotine but industry officials say they don't believe it has authority over flavorings that can be added separately.
While vape industry officials warned it would kill a large and important industry that helps people quit the more dangerous habit of smoking, many public health advocates heralded Trump's announcement.
