Summary

The Supreme Court is reviewing whether the FDA unlawfully blocked over a million kid-friendly flavored vape products, which critics say fuel youth nicotine addiction.

Despite FDA bans, flavors like fruit and candy dominate illicit vape sales, with 1.6 million minors using such products.

Vape companies argue flavored e-liquids help adult smokers quit, but the FDA counters that their evidence is insufficient to outweigh youth addiction risks.

A lower court sided with the companies, and the Supreme Court’s ruling, expected by June 2025, could reshape vaping regulations.

    Put on a blindfold and throw a dart? I’ve given up expecting any kind of logical consistency out of that group.

    I’d have no problem banning the disposable ones as they’re a scourge, but the juice is where I have the issue. Also, yeah, I do miss my re-buildable rigs, but no shops sell the parts anymore; it’s all the packaged / disposable coils which I hate but grudgingly use.
