Puffs with Papers

Vaping product registry bills are on the rise in the U.S. due to concerns about illegal vaping products. Critics argue these bills benefit big tobacco companies. The PMTA process for vaping products is viewed as overly burdensome compared to cigarettes. Only a few e-cigarettes have FDA authorization, favoring large manufacturers. The industry debate focuses on health risks and market competition. Some states have passed registry bills, with more to come by 2025. Proponents argue the bills protect consumers, while opponents fear they benefit tobacco giants. Enforcement challenges and industry resistance complicate the implementation of these regulations.
