Puff Bar is back, and its new synthetic nicotine-based e-liquid could push Congress or the FDA to address the long-festering issue of vaping products made with nicotine not derived from tobacco.
The gray market Puff Bar device and its shadowy owners have succeeded in the retail market by ignoring FDA regulations and building a huge distribution network in traditional tobacco outlets like convenience stores and gas stations. In the process, Puff Bar has become the epitome of evil to anti-vaping groups like the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and Truth Initiative.
The new Puff products are reinvigorating those tobacco control groups’ long campaign to pressure the FDA to regulate synthetic nicotine. They’ve also inspired U.S. Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi to demand that Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock shut down the Puff Bar manufacturers, whoever they may be.
