Melania has become well-known for her tweets that are regularly torn apart by her followers. Yesterday, on the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Centre, Melania decided to take a moment to tweet about a huge issue that’s affecting the youth of today.
The First Lady tweeted about the high usage of flavoured e-cigarettes being used by youth in America.
She wrote: “Data shows a high usage of flavoured e-cigarettes among our youth.
“It’s our responsibility as parents to understand the dangers that come from vaping.
“Our Administration supports the removal of flavoured e-cigarettes from stores until they’re approved by @US_FDA. #BeBest.”
The tweet included a survey which showed how young people’s e-cigarette usage continues to climb.
However, Twitter users questioned why the FLOTUS decided to tweet about vaping on the anniversary of 9/11.
One user said: “Why may I ask are you tweeting this out on the anniversary of 9/11? Just curious.
“I mean you could wait a whole day to do this. #WeWillNeverForget.”

Another user replied: “Good for standing up for this.
“Maybe you can stand up for gun control as well…”
Melania tweeted earlier on in the day in support of those who lost friends and family members in 9/11.
She wrote: “We grieve for our lost loved ones and cherish their memories.
“Our nation is strong and united by the shared goal of protecting the American people.
“May God Bless our men and women in uniform.
“We will #NeverForget #September11.”
The tweet garnered over 18,000 likes and was retweeted over 4,000 times.
After a recent spate of vaping-related deaths, questions have arisen regarding the safety of vaping as an alternative to smoking cigarettes.
Yesterday, Trump announced that his administration will ban flavoured e-cigarettes.
