Trump Flags Thin Ice for FDA Chief Over Vaping Push
TL;DR
President Donald Trump allegedly upbraided FDA Commissioner Marty Makary for not moving quickly enough to approve flavored vapes, putting him on 'thin ice' as advisers weigh the administration’s vaping agenda; Makary had previously balked at approving certain fruit flavors and discussed pivoting away from a hard-line stance, though it’s unclear if he’ll change course. If fired, he’d join other high-profile ousters; flavored cartridge vapes have been FDA-banned since 2020 and many states have expanded bans.
