The Trump administration announced Thursday that it will prohibit fruit, candy, mint and dessert flavours from small, cartridge-based e-cigarettes that are popular with high school students.
But Alex Azar, the U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, called the approach a “smart, targeted policy that protects our kids without creating unnecessary disruption.”The flavour ban applies to cartridge-based e-cigarettes, which typically use disposable pods filled with liquid nicotine and are often sold in convenience stores.
Representative Frank Pallone, the Democratic chair of the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee, which has launched probes into e-cigarette manufacturers, dismissed the impact of the ban.U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration in September proposed a sweeping ban on all e-cigarette and vaping flavours that are seen as attracting millions of young users to addictive nicotine products. That plan would have prohibited all e-cigarette flavours except tobacco. However, Mr.
Thursday’s announcement would have no impact on Juul, which has already pulled flavours except tobacco and menthol. It would force competitors still offering a wider variety of flavours, including Njoy and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., which makes Vuse e-cigarettes, to restrict their offerings.The percentage of high schoolers using e-cigarettes stands at 27.5 per cent, according to federal surveys, up from 20.8 per cent in 2018.
