Supreme Court Weighs Future of Flavored Vapes in FDA Dispute

The Supreme Court appeared skeptical of Triton Distribution's challenge to the FDA's denial of authorization for flavored e-cigarette products, citing concerns about their appeal to children. The FDA's authority to regulate tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, stems from a 2009 law. During oral arguments, justices questioned the consistency of the FDA's data requirements and the potential impact of a new administration on vaping regulations. A decision is expected by June, which could influence federal agencies' flexibility in interpreting laws.
