In a first, FDA authorizes fruit-flavored vapes for adults
Key Points:
- The FDA authorized the first fruit-flavored vapes for adults aged 21 and over, marking a significant policy shift after years of strict regulation on flavored vaping products.
- The approved products include mango, blueberry, and two menthol varieties from Los Angeles-based Glas.
- This decision followed reports that President Donald Trump urged FDA Commissioner Marty Makary to approve flavored vapes as part of his commitment to "save" vaping.
- The move signals a potential easing of restrictions on flavored e-cigarettes, which have been criticized for appealing to youth.
