Supreme Court delivers contentious ruling on vaping products: 'Encourage the FDA to stay the course'
The Supreme Court decision allows the FDA to restrict sales of fruit- and candy-flavored vapes, applauded by health advocates and conservationists. The ruling aims to deter teen vaping, as 87% use flavored products. Despite claims that these flavors help smokers quit, the FDA argues the harm to youth outweighs any potential benefits. The ban faces potential reversal by the new administration. Vaping poses health risks, with nicotine and cancer-causing chemicals, while also contributing to plastic pollution due to improper disposal of single-use vapes and lithium batteries. Recycling vaping products is challenging.
