    EXCLUSIVE: @LATimes has docs showing that 4 years ago, the FDA tried to ban vaping flavors to protect kids. But after aggressive lobbying from the vaping industry, senior Obama officials nixed the plan – and deleted much of the evidence that justified it.https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-10-01/vaping-flavors-obama-white-house-fda …

        2/ After the plan was overruled, sales for Juul skyrocketed by more than 600%, reversing decades of progress on youth smoking. Millions of teens say flavors got them hooked, and that even as the THC-linked death toll climbs, they still can’t stop.

        3/ We analyzed a database of OMB meetings, plus a 575-pg draft of the regulation and thousands of pages of industry memos & presentations to paint a picture. All credit to the incredible @Kimbriell & @RyanVMenezes, the data whisperers in our midst.

        4/ Fun facts: FDA knew that tobacco products were chemically designed to attract kids. Cherry, berry, apple & grape tobbaco used the same chemicals as Kool-Aid and Jolly Ranchers. They also knew some e-liquids were "highly toxic to human cells" & could cause airway constriction.

        5/ When the ban headed to White House officials for approval, their first guest was the owner of The Vapor Bar, including its premium vaping line, literally called “Forbidden.” 100 others came next: Nicopure. Simply Vapour. Fat Cat Vapor Shop. My personal favorite, Vape A Vet.

        6/ Altria, the tobacco giant, also sent 4 top guys. Which is interesting since, after the ban was quietly struck down, Altria went on to buy a 35% stake in Juul, the e-cigarette brand that essentially took over the entire market.

        7/ Cuttwood Vapors brought an article calling it an economic “vapocalypse.” Lucky Ruckus Vape Shop equated the restrictions to historical anti-condom policies. Vapor Shark shared a photograph of picket signs: “I vape. I vote.”

        8/ Obama officials told @latimes there wasn't enough scientific evidence at the time to outweigh economic burden of the ban. But, docs show that, when they nixed the ban, they also deleted 15 pages of evidence showing that a vaping crisis was coming fast. 1 in 4 teens now vape.

        As a former smoker, Obama may have put more stock in the 'make the switch' argument

        Do adults who want to stop smoking need fruity flavors to make the switch?
