The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the marketing of multiple fruit-flavored e-cigarettes.
This is the first time the FDA has authorized market access for non-tobacco, non-menthol electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), which are commonly referred to as vapes. Four different flavors have been authorized, and each one includes an e-liquid pod containing 50 mg/ml of tobacco-derived nicotine.
The American College of Cardiology (ACC), a leading U.S. cardiovascular health society, shared its perspective on the FDA’s decision in a brief statement. The group called this authorization an “unprecedented step” that “threatens previous progress made to limit flavored e-cigarette use, particularly among youth.”
