The Supreme Court has declined to hear a case challenging the FDA's authority to reject flavored e-cigarette approvals. The case is one of several challenges to the FDA's regulation of the vaping industry, which has become an $8.2 billion market. The FDA has the power to deny applications for flavored e-cigarette products to protect public health and discourage younger people from smoking. Avail Vapor, a vape retailer, argued that the FDA unfairly denied its product applications based on requirements the agency changed without notifying companies. The FDA rejected Avail Vapor's applications because they did not present long-term studies demonstrating the effectiveness of their sweet-flavored vapes in helping adult smokers quit compared to tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes. The decision has implications for the vaping industry, which has seen a rise in sales despite efforts to restrict flavors favored by teens.

The FDA has the power to deny applications for flavored e-cigarettes to protect public health and discourage younger people from smoking. Avail Vapor, a vape retailer, appealed the FDA's denial of its product applications, arguing that the agency changed requirements without notifying companies. The FDA rejected Avail's applications because they lacked long-term studies demonstrating the effectiveness of their sweet-flavored vapes in helping adult smokers quit compared to tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes. The decision has implications for the vaping industry, as efforts to restrict flavors favored by teens have not been successful, and many popular brands on the market are not FDA-approved and illegal.

The FDA has issued warnings to stores in seven New Hampshire communities for selling unauthorized flavored vape products. Although the state doesn't have a flavor ban, a person must be 21 in New Hampshire to buy vape products. DHHS said that in 2019, 34% of New Hampshire high school students were vaping or using some sort of vape product. Two years later, that has dropped to 16%, which is the lowest rate since the department started asking teens that question.
