FDA Vape Regs Need Bold Reform
Last week, officials raided an illegal vape operation near Chicago, seizing 600,000 units. Most vapes on the market are illicit, mainly smuggled from China. FDA regulations on vaping products are stringent, leading to a lack of safe alternatives and favoring cigarettes. The FDA should reform its approval process, focusing on monitoring markets and providing clear safety standards. This approach, as seen in the European Union and the UK, can streamline the process and educate consumers accurately. By prioritizing harm reduction over strict regulations, the FDA can support safer smoking alternatives and combat the illicit market.
