Supreme Court Weighs FDA’s Vaping Ban

(From EdWeek) On Dec. 2, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments about the federal regulation of flavored e-cigarettes, in a case pitting the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) against two vaping companies. Justices weighed whether the agency acted lawfully when it denied the applications of the companies to market fruity and dessert-flavored liquids for their electronic nicotine products. FDA deemed the flavors were too appealing to young people without being beneficial enough to existing smokers trying to switch to vaping. The Supreme Court’s ruling, expected by June, could affect regulatory power over flavored vaping products.
