FDA authorizes fruit-flavored e-cigarettes for adults in major shift under Trump

The FDA authorized fruit-flavored e-cigarettes for adult smokers, marking a major policy shift under the Trump administration. The newly authorized e-cigarettes come in mango, blueberry, and menthol flavors and are intended for adults interested in quitting or cutting back on cigarettes.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced its first authorization of fruit-flavored electronic cigarettes for adult smokers. The newly authorized e-cigarettes come in mango, blueberry, and two varieties of menthol flavors. Los Angeles-based vaping company Glas Inc. will market the flavors under the names Gold, Sapphire, Classic Menthol, and Fresh Menthol. The FDA stated that the Glas vapes are only intended for adults and that the company's digital age-verification system makes it unlikely that the products will be used by underage users. The FDA will closely monitor how these products are marketed and may suspend or withdraw authorization if necessary. The authorization is not an approval or endorsement, and the FDA reiterated that vaping is not risk-free and still addictive.
