The Trump administration is preparing to ban flavored e-cigarettes as federal health officials call for restrictions to combat an outbreak of a mysterious lung disease that has sickened hundreds and killed at least six people, U.S. health secretary Alex Azar told reporters Wednesday. The Food and Drug Administration is finalizing its guidance to remove e-cigarette flavors other than tobacco from the market because children are attracted to other flavors, Azar said, following a meeting at the Oval Office with President Donald Trump. It could take the FDA several weeks to develop the guidelines, he said. The administration will also take enforcement action if it finds e-cigarette makers are intentionally targeting children, Azar said.

“Already banned in Michigan.”
Yeah, nice communist governess y’all elected up there, Knock yourselves out.
‘Vaping has been around since 2001, and a handful of people largely adding drugs to the mix have died.’
true; and opioids will be next, despite the obvious truth that used properly, nobody would die from correctly administered products...
Me too, but as you say, chartreuse is unique. It’s named after a liqueur that has two flavors, a green and a yellow, making it the only color name that has two distinct definitions.
Mom got a chartreuse sofa (The yellow chartreuse, not the green one) that became my definition of chartreuse. Decades later, a girlfriend described something as chartreuse (the green chartreuse not the yellow chartreuse). Hilarity ensued.
Other than that 5 colors suffices for most everything, except resistor color codes which expand the pallet to 10 colors. (OK, maybe we can add gold and silver for tolerance bands).
What definitive proof?
‘Get rid of all that shit.’
okay, Carrie Nation...sharpen that hatchet...
‘Considering that there is definitive proof that they caused deaths, this is indeed reasonable.’
of course...we can also divest ourselves of motorized vehicles while we’re at it, using that as our reasoning...
I'm such a cynic. It won't be banned. It'll become a regulated, prescribed gold mine for the pharmaceutical industry.
I heard all those vapes were the oneshe with THC in them. What gives?
How old are you?
My wife says I am a child... LOL... I enlisted in the Navy in 1977....
They don’t care.
We thought we got rid of the Saul Alinsky crap of “never let a crisis go waste” [use it to impose more of your cradle to grave bu!!$#!+] with Obummer.
Meet the new boss...
You’re old enough know how the song ends.
You’d think that a Trump admin wouldn’t be doing this shit.
Sadly, you appear correct.
Fake news. Trump is probably only going to take some steps to try to address the deaths, rather than an outright ban.
Dismal. I might need to go back to nicotine gum. Tobacco tastes nasty, unless you flavor it like menthol. I guess that’ll be illegal too...
Still, he’s better than any of the alternatives.
In this case I disagree. It’s getting in the hands of kids and being advertised for the kids. That has to stop. Period.
High-Fructose Corn Syrup kills a lot more.
Thats my choice. two best tobacco flavors are Element & Double Barrel. Both made in the USA
Obviously hoping for the huge black market in “all that $#!+” which will emerge when it is banned.
Or maybe he is an attorney in CO or Kali that wants his clientele to be as large as it was when more of “that $#!+” was banned...
