Speaking on New Year's Eve from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, he said:"We're going to protect our families, we're going to protect our children, and we're going to protect the industry."Having previously said all vaping flavours should be taken off the market, except for those that are manufactured to taste like tobacco, Mr Trump doubled down on his stance, suggesting that"certain flavours" would be taken off the market"for a period of time".
The president added:"Hopefully, if everything's safe, they're going to be going very quickly back onto the market.""People have died from this, they died from vaping. We think we understand why. But we're doing a very exhaustive examination and hopefully everything will be back on the market very, very shortly."
"Vaping can be good from the standpoint - you look at the e-cigarettes, you stop smoking. If you can stop smoking, that's a big advantage. So, we think we're going to get it back on the market very, very quickly."
