Introduction

The FDA says a company called Glas Inc. can now sell four flavored vapes in the US.

Main Body

The vapes have mango, blueberry, and menthol flavors. President Trump told the FDA to approve these products quickly. He thinks these vapes help adults stop smoking. Children must not use these vapes. Glas Inc. uses a new system to check age. Users must show a government ID. They must also use a smartphone and a fingerprint scan. Some doctors are worried. They say fruit flavors make teenagers want to smoke. The government says this new rule is based on science.

Conclusion

The FDA approved the vapes, but users must prove their age with technology.
