"F.D.A. Battles Influx of Illicit E-Cigarettes Flooding Stores"

Illicit vapes and e-cigarettes, many of which are imported from China, are flooding the US market, exposing a major lapse in enforcement by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While the FDA has authorized only a few options, hundreds of unauthorized products with escalating nicotine levels and appealing flavors are being sold, contributing to the estimated $5.5 billion e-cigarette market. The surge in flavored vape sales has raised concerns about youth addiction, as nearly 40% of e-cigarette users are 25 or younger. Calls for the FDA to take stronger action, including banning flavored e-cigarettes, have intensified from lawmakers, state attorneys general, and even tobacco companies. The FDA has faced challenges in regulating the industry, with limited fines and warnings having little impact.
