F.D.A. Opens Door to More Flavored E-Cigarettes
The Food and Drug Administration announced that it will allow certain flavored e-cigarettes that are considered more appealing to adults. This decision marks a shift from the agency’s earlier attempt to ban fruit and candy-flavored vapes, which had not been successful because such products continued to appear on the market. According to the new policy, the agency may permit flavors like mint, coffee, tea, and spices such as clove or cinnamon. However, the FDA stated that it will still reject e-cigarettes with sweet or fruity flavors because they are more attractive to teenagers.
