(CNN) An announcement that will take certain e-cigarette flavors off the US market is coming soon, President Donald Trump told reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday. Trump administration officials announced in September the FDA would try to curb a youth vaping epidemic by stripping all flavors except tobacco from the market. Health and anti-tobacco advocacy groups have urged the Trump administration to take all flavored products, including menthol, off the market. An estimated 2.4 million high school and middle school students use flavored e-cigarettes, one of the studies found. In a statement on Tuesday, Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, said the reported Trump administration policy "falls woefully short of the bold action the Administration promised."
