President Donald Trump reversed course on banning flavored e-cigarettes because he feared it would have an impact on his 2020 election campaign, it has been reported.
Federal regulators had given the go-ahead for the proposed ban, which was aimed at curbing the use of e-cigarettes among millions of teenagers and would have seen candy-, fruit- and mint-flavored vaping products taken off the shelves.
However, Trump wavered and did not sign off on the plan on November 4 due to warnings that it could cost jobs and vape shop owners, as well as customers, would desert him at the ballot box in battleground states, a senior White House official told The Washington Post.
