The Supreme Court Blesses the FDA's Rejection of Flavored Nicotine Vapes
The Supreme Court upheld the FDA's ban on flavored nicotine solutions by rejecting Vapetasia and Triton's appeal, stating the FDA did not violate regulations. The FDA's guidance for product approvals was seen as inconsistent, leading to the ban. Vapetasia and Triton argued the FDA's evaluation criteria had changed unfairly. The court ruled that the FDA's actions were not in violation, allowing the ban to continue unless reversed by the Trump administration. Vapetasia and Triton also challenged the FDA's enforcement priorities and handling of marketing plans targeting underage use. The court highlighted the FDA's concerns about youth vaping but ultimately upheld the ban on flavored vaping products.
