May 6 (UPI) -- The Food and Drug Administration approved some flavored vapes delivering on a campaign promise from President Donald Trump to "save vaping."
The FDA gave its OK to electronic cigarettes from Glas, a company based in Los Angeles. The approved flavors are mango, blueberry and two varieties of menthol.
Court filings show the FDA previously rejected more than 1 million vapes flavored like fruit, candy and desserts and nicotine companies sued the FDA for changing its standards unfairly, but the Supreme Court backed the FDA.
On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump over the weekend urged FDA Commissioner Marty Makary to move faster to approve flavored and nicotine vapes. Just hours later, Makary announced that some are approved.
