(CNN) � The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced a new policy Thursday prohibiting the sale of most flavored e-cigarette cartridges.
Under the rule, vape companies will only be allowed to sell two flavors of vaping cartridges � tobacco and menthol.
Companies will have 30 days to stop manufacturing, distributing and selling other flavored cartridges.
The ban applies to flavored cartridges, not to devices that use tank systems sold in vape shops.
The National Youth Tobacco Survey published data showing more than five million middle and high school students reported using e-cigarettes in 2019.
