Introduction

The FDA says adults can now buy fruit-flavored e-cigarettes from a company called Glas Inc. These products help adults stop smoking.

Main Body

Glas Inc. has four flavors. Two are menthol and two are fruit. The fruit flavors are mango and blueberry. Before this, the government said no to these flavors because they wanted to protect children. Now, users must use a smartphone and a special app. They must show their ID and use their face or finger to prove they are adults. This stops children from using the products. Some people like this change. They say it helps adults stop smoking real cigarettes. Other people are angry. They say sweet flavors make children want to vape. Some people are worried about the decision. They say President Trump told the FDA leader to say yes. Also, the FDA wants to stop illegal vapes from China.

Conclusion

The FDA allows these flavored vapes for adults. They will watch to see if children use them.
