Supreme Court Debates Future of Flavored Vapes Amid FDA Block
The U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing whether the FDA unlawfully refused to approve flavored e-cigarettes, with justices questioning if the agency changed its evaluation standards mid-process. The case, brought by vape companies Triton Distribution and Vapestasia, challenges the FDA's rejection of their products due to potential health risks to young people. The court's conservative majority, including Justice Brett Kavanaugh, showed mixed reactions, with some justices skeptical of the FDA's actions and others supporting its stance. The outcome could impact the FDA's regulatory approach to tobacco products.
