5:30Now PlayingThe electronic cigarette industry is in damage control, after months of mounting health concerns. To date, nearly 50 people have died across America, according to the latest count by the Centers for Disease Control. In addition to this, more than 2,000 people have been affected with unusual vaping-related respiratory illnesses.
Despite the growing fear, the Trump administration has showed mixed signals about what specific policy plans to put in place to curb youth e-cigarette use. States such as New York, Michigan and Massachusetts are beginning to take action on the issue, by introducing bans on flavored e-cigarettes. So how did the industry reach this point? And what can history tell us about what happens next?
Michael Bloomberg, the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP, has campaigned and given money in support of a ban on flavored e-cigarettes and tobacco and supports efforts to reduce global demand for tobacco worldwide.
