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.

    The point of blocking these laws is about people having the freedoms to live their lives like they want.

    Banning ice cream would have no ill effects on the populations health, and would help many people, but people still want the freedom to eat ice cream.

    We are banning all ice cream flavors but vanilla! Chocolate chip cookie dough, that’s just luring more kids into being addicted to ice cream
