LANSING, Mich. — A Michigan judge temporarily blocked the state's weeks-old ban on flavored e-cigarettes Tuesday, saying it may force adults to return to smoking more harmful tobacco products and has irreparably hurt vaping businesses.

Most who got sick said they vaped products containing THC, the marijuana ingredient that causes a high, but some said they vaped only nicotine. "We are pleased today that the court saw the ban of flavored vaping products for what it truly is: an overreach of government into the lives of adults," said Andrea Bitely, spokeswoman for the Defend MI Rights Coalition, a vaping industry group.
