WASHINGTON (AP) – The House has approved a bill to ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes and other flavored tobacco products.
Lawmakers say the bill will stem a vaping epidemic among young people.
The bill would place new restrictions on the marketing of e-cigarettes and ban flavors in tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes.
It also would place a new excise tax on nicotine.
Senate approval is considered unlikely.
The Trump administration opposes the bill.
