The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled against two e-cigarette companies that had challenged the FDA's rejection of their flavored vape product applications. The lower court's decision, which stated that the FDA did not follow proper procedures, was overturned. The ruling reinforces the FDA’s power to regulate nicotine products under the Tobacco Control Act, which requires companies to demonstrate that their products do not appeal to minors. The cases highlight the ongoing conflict between public health concerns and the vaping industry, particularly regarding youth addiction.
The unanimous Supreme Court ruling underscores the FDA's authority on vaping regulations, affirming that companies must prove their products are not appealing to youth.
The decision allows the FDA to continue its stringent review process for e-cigarettes, essential in protecting public health and minimizing risks to young users.
