Trump also suggests that the administration may be backing off plans to ban flavored e-cigarettes.
The U.S. will raise the vaping age to 21 "or so" as part of its plan to curb teen vaping, President Trump says.
But Trump's latest comments suggest the administration may be backing off those plans amid intense pressure from vaping advocates who say flavors help adults stop smoking cigarettes and that removing flavors would force vape shops around the country to close. "We're going to be coming out with a very important position on vaping," Trump said. "We have to take care of our kids, most importantly, so we're going to have an age limit of 21 or so, so we'll be coming out with something next week very important on vaping."
"We have a lot of people to look at, including jobs, quite frankly," Trump said. "Because, you know, it's become a pretty big industry."
