Apple banned vaping-related apps and removed 181 from the App Store. They included hardware companion and store apps.

  • Those who already have the apps can continue using them.
    Gizmodo
  • Vaporizer company PAX released a new feature on its app allowing users to see the test results from their Juul-like PAX THC pods. (The app now appears to be banned from the App store.)

Apple’s move comes amid a flood of confusing news, as officials try to determine how, or whether, to further regulate vapes.

  • President Trump is reportedly backing down from his pledge to ban flavored e-cigarettes after aides told him it could cost him re-election.
    N.Y. Times
  • A N.Y. Times editorial opposes a federal ban on e-cigarettes.
  • Tests of California street vapes found formaldehyde and other dangerous chemicals in the vapor.
    NBC
  • The CDC said federal cannabis prohibition delayed its response to the vape crisis.
    Marijuana Moment
  • In Massachusetts, the state Supreme Court upheld a challenge to Gov. Charlie Baker’s (R) ban on all vape sales, but the fight isn’t over.
