Triton Case: Briefs on “Poisonous” Vape Flavors Flood Supreme Court

A group of attorneys general and members of Congress filed amicus briefs with the Supreme Court, arguing against the sale and marketing of flavored vaping products. They claim vaping leads to health risks, especially among youth. The FDA's authorization of some menthol vaping products is criticized. While allegations suggest vaping is linked to lung cancer, solid evidence is lacking. Despite claims of negative health consequences, flavored vapes are seen as less harmful than cigarettes they can replace. Some studies linking vapes to harm are criticized for methodological flaws. Additionally, bans on flavored vapes may increase cigarette sales. The debate highlights conflicting views on vaping's impact on public health.
