After being criticised for not enforcing the synthetic nicotine ban, the FDA started sending warnings to non-authorized manufacturers and retailers of the products.
Synthetic products, which are often sold in fruity flavours and are popular with teens, have previously been exempt from FDA regulations because they contain nicotine made in a lab, rather than extracted from a tobacco leaf.
However, following a legislation enacted on March 15th, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been given the authority to regulate tobacco products containing nicotine from any source. This has led to a ban on synthetic nicotine.
After the passing of the synthetic nicotine ban, the Vapor Trade Association (VTA) immediately began working on a strategy to ensure a viable path for companies which are selling the products. Moreover, the VTA’s Board of Directors and members met with the FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) to discuss the ban.
