Two months ago, President Trump announced he was pursuing the new policy to put a dent in the youth vaping epidemic. The plan was supposed to have been unveiled in a matter of weeks.

But industry pushback and the politics of vaping appear to have derailed that process.

When President Obama signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act in 2009, it gave government regulators an important new weapon in its battle against Big Tobacco.

A U.S. Food and Drug Administration probe of Columbus-based Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams says there was inadequate testing and cleaning in its local plant before listeria was found in some of its ice cream.
