Citing a “substantial increase” in youth vaping this year versus 2017, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb this morning announced new steps to address youth e-cigarette use.
The FDA gave five tobacco companies 60 days to submit plans describing how they will address youth access and use of their products.
The companies include Juul, Philip Morris, Fontem Ventures, British American Tobacco and Logic.
If the companies fail to comply they will have to go through a formal FDA review/approval process to re-enter the market.
In addition, the FDA issues 12 warning letters to online retailers that are selling misleadingly labeled and/or advertised e-liquids that resemble kid-friendly food products such as candy or cookies.
