Market research shows 22 million adults in the U.S. use e-cigarettes. On Wednesday, President Trump called for a ban on most flavored vaping products.

Meanwhile, some business owners worry that Trump's suggested ban will cripple sales. Janet Shamlian reports.
President Trump says a ban on most flavored vaping products is the right response to what health officials call an "epidemic" of e-cigarette use by teenagers.
