The U.K. government snuffed out vaping almost before it began, providing a lesson for the U.S.

The Trump administration, led by outgoing FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, is struggling to curb the rise of teen e-cigarette use by issuing rules with authority only recently given to it by Congress. The U.K. avoided a similar rise in vaping by quickly enacting sweeping laws limiting the production and sale of vaping products.
