Arizona vape-store owners fear their business will go up in smoke after the past week's warning by the Trump administration that it plans to begin enforcing rules that would drive flavored e-cigarettes out of the market, an industry official said.
The White House statement was in response to recent reports that vaping-related lung illnesses have been confirmed in 33 states and one territory – including six deaths nationwide.
The Department of Health and Human Services’ plan would target the flavored vaping liquids that critics say have led to an explosion of e-cigarette use among teens.
Currently, about 8 million adults use e-cigarettes, but 5 million children are using e-cigarettes,” said HHS Secretary Alex Azar.
