Trump Promises to Save Flavored Vaping Products

Former President Donald Trump has pledged to 'save vaping' if re-elected, claiming that his previous actions in 2019 helped reduce smoking rates. He criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for wanting to ban flavored vaping products, framing it as harmful to small businesses. Trump's earlier attempt to ban flavored e-cigarettes faced backlash from anti-tobacco advocates who accused him of capitulating to industry pressures, leading to a partial ban that allowed menthol flavors to remain. Critics have mocked his current promise, likening it to an unrealistic campaign strategy, and questioned the sincerity of his commitment given his past actions. Trump's comments come amid a broader set of election promises, including economic reforms and tax cuts, as he campaigns for the upcoming election. His proposals, however, may have significant fiscal implications, raising concerns about their feasibility and potential costs to taxpayers.
