Trump Administration Plans to Ban Flavored E-Cigarettes
WASHINGTON Trump administration officials said on Wednesday that they would ban the sale of most flavored e-cigarettes, at a time when hundreds of people have been sickened by mysterious lung illnesses and teenage vaping continues to rise.
Sitting in the Oval Office with Alex M. Azar II, the secretary of Health and Human Services, and Dr. Ned Sharpless, the acting Food and Drug Administration commissioner, President Trump acknowledged that there was a vaping problem, and said, Were going to have to do something about it.
Mr. Azar said that the F.D.A. would outline a plan within the coming weeks for removing most flavored e-cigarettes from the market.

You have far greater odds of dying from a gun shot wound than you do from just about anything else.

There are many things that kill more people by an order of magnitude than guns. Don't forget that nearly 3 million people die every year in America.

Love the priorities of this bunch.

they will just get it on the streets so banning it really solves nothing

(3,390 posts)7. You can kill other people, just don't hurt yourself
That never made sense to me. We make drugs illegal to keep you from hurting yourself, but weapons that allow you to hurt others? Those are okay, for some reason.
