FDA authorizes fruit-flavored e-cigarettes for the first time

The FDA on Tuesday authorized the sale of fruit-flavored electronic cigarettes for the first time, clearing four products from Los Angeles-based vaping company Glas Inc. for adult use in the U.S. The authorized products — marketed under the names Gold, Sapphire, Classic Menthol, and Fresh Menthol — are e-liquid pods containing 50mg/ml of tobacco-derived nicotine, according to the FDA. Gold and Sapphire are mango and blueberry flavors, respectively, according to NBC News. Until Tuesday's action, every federally authorized vaping product had been either tobacco- or menthol-flavored.
