With e-cigarette sales booming, the Supreme Court will decide whether the FDA unlawfully blocked approval of more than a million new flavored nicotine products.

Summary

The Supreme Court is reviewing whether the FDA unlawfully blocked over a million kid-friendly flavored vape products, which critics say fuel youth nicotine addiction.

Despite FDA bans, flavors like fruit and candy dominate illicit vape sales, with 1.6 million minors using such products.

Vape companies argue flavored e-liquids help adult smokers quit, but the FDA counters that their evidence is insufficient to outweigh youth addiction risks.

A lower court sided with the companies, and the Supreme Court’s ruling, expected by June 2025, could reshape vaping regulations.

    If you ask adults who smoke if they were to switch to e-cigarettes what kind of flavors are they interested in, the majority of responses are tobacco flavor.

    Oh, bullshit.

      100% bullshit. “Tobacco flavored” juice is just carmel flavoring and tastes nothing like cigarettes.
