President Donald Trump said Friday his administration will release its final plans for restricting e-cigarettes next week but provided few other details.
"We have to take care of our kids, most importantly, so we're going to have an age limit of 21 or so," he said speaking outside the White House on his way to Georgia.
Currently the minimum age to purchase any tobacco or vaping product is 18, under federal law. But more than one third of U.S. states have already raised their sales age to 21.
A federal law raising the purchase age would require congressional action.
Administration officials were widely expected to release plans this week for removing virtually all flavored e-cigarettes from the market. Those products are blamed for soaring rates of underage use by U.S. teenagers.
However, no details have yet appeared, leading vaping critics to worry that the administration is backing away from its original plan.
