A new law is set to take effect this month that will see some vaping products that use synthetic nicotine pulled from the shelves if they fail to receive authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
President Joe Biden signed a $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill on March 15 that included a provision that amends the definition of a “tobacco product” in order to close a loophole for products containing lab-made synthetic nicotine.
The spending bill amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) to define a tobacco product as “any product made or derived from tobacco, or containing nicotine from any source, that is intended for human consumption.”
