WASHINGTON – The Trump administration is planning to ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes after an outbreak of vaping-related lung diseases sickened over 450 and killed at least six people in the country, reported Xinhua news agency.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will finalise a policy in the coming weeks that would clear the market of unauthorised, non-tobacco-flavored e-cigarette products, according to a statement released on Wednesday by the US Health and Human Services (HHS).
