FDA Cracks Down on Flavored Disposable E-Cigarettes But Sales Continue to Surge

The FDA has issued warnings to retailers selling popular, flavored disposable e-cigarette brands.
E-cigarette sales increased by nearly 50% between January 2020 to December 2022, driven primarily by flavored disposable products.
Underage e-cigarette use remains high, with over 2.5 million youth reporting use in the past 30 days.
Bans on flavored e-cigarettes have proven effective at decreasing youth use, but manufacturers continue to target teens with fruity and candy flavors.
While less harmful than cigarettes, e-cigarettes still contain toxic chemicals and high levels of nicotine that can harm brain development.
