After the meeting, Trump said on the Truth Social platform,
- “In 2019, I saved flavored vapes, which greatly helped people quit smoking. I also raised the purchase age to 21 so that ‘kids’ wouldn’t have access to it. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden want to ban everything, causing small businesses across the country to shut down. I will save vapes again.”
“Since then, teen smoke inhalation has dropped to an all-time low, and many adults have used flavored vapes to quit smoking. VTA’s meeting with President Trump was a great day for America’s small businesses, as they fear the Biden-Harris administration will shut down small businesses and take away the power of flavored vape brands from smoking adults. We are glad that former President Trump continues to fight for smokers.” the announcement said.
