    President Trump hosts heated vaping meeting, discusses dangers of outright flavor ban – By OANN Newsroom (OANN) / Nov 22 2019

    As the number of vaping-related deaths continues to climb, the White House is seeking to curb the emerging health crisis. President Trump held a meeting with stakeholders and industry experts on Friday to discuss potential solutions to the growing health risks of vaping and its influence on youth.

    “66 percent of the kids addicted to these products are saying they didn’t even know it had nicotine in it, they thought it was just a candy type product,” stated Sen. Mitt Romney. “It’s the flavor that gets the kids in it, it’s a health emergency.”

    Things got heated between vaping lobbyists and anti-tobacco activists.

    Industry experts have claimed a widespread flavor ban would shutter thousands of businesses and make it harder for former smokers to stay off cigarettes. At the same time, activists remain steadfast in their calls for the government to enact stricter curbs on e-cigarette flavors.
